This volume contains an Arabic-Ottoman Turkish vocabulary compiled, with an introduction in Arabic, by Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ. In the vocabulary, which is divided into a preface, 4 rukun and a hatime (f 3r), the Ottoman Turkish has not been inserted in the text after f 7r. The fact that the author has consulted Persian-Ottoman Turkish vocabularies (f 3r) has influenced the lettering - 'Arabic-Persian-Turkish vocabulary.'. At the end of the volume (ff 28v-33r), there is a rhymed Ottoman Turkish-Kurdish vocabulary entitled Tercüme-yi Türki ve Kürdi. In some cases, the Arabic equivalent for the Ottoman Turkish words has been added. This is in a different ta'lik hand from the rest of the main text. The manuscript was likely copied in the 19th century CE.
