Scope and Content

This volume contains the Divan-i Adli or, as weitten in gold on the first folio, the Divan-i merhum ve mağfur Sultan Bayezit (nawwara Allāhu marqadahu). The poetical works of Adli, that is, Bayezit II (died 918 AH/1512-13 CE) begin with münacat, followed by gazeller, which make up the remainder of the Divan. The lack of space on some folios has meant that the kafiye has been omitted in some beyitler. The text contains a single unvan. The manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
