- Title:
- Tuhfetü'l-küttab - تحفة الكتاب
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains a collection of interpretations and directives bearing on a wide range of legal questions. This work was compiled by Mehmet Ubeydullah Musazade from documents that his father, Ubeydullah Musazade, had copied out while serving as clerk to the Şeyh-ül-İslam Pirizade Mehmet Sahıp. The latter lived from 1085 AH (1674 CE) to 1162 AH (1749 CE).
The text contains a table of contents (ff 2v-6r); an Arabic-language preface (ff 7v-8r); the main text (ff 8r-199v); and finally further questions and answers on a variety of legal matters, addressing both the şeriat and kanun (ff 200v-228r).
Other contents include: a note addressed to Mevlana [blank] Efendi, newly appointed to a judicial post (f 1r); and Arz-i hal dated 1216 AH (1802-03 CE) (f 1v).
The text contains a single unvan on f 7v that features gilt, floral and arabesque designs.
The colophon (f 199v) states that the manuscript was copied by Ali İbn-i Abdullah and is dated 7 Zulkade 1212 AH (23 April 1798 CE).
