- Title:
- [Şerefname]
- Scope & Content:
-
An Ottoman Turkish translation of the Sharaf-nāmah, a Persian-language history of the Kurds by Sharaf Khān al-Bitlisī. The current copy is believed to have been produced in the early 19th century, although the date of copying and the name of the copyist are both omitted. The text is given the title Tevarih-i Emanet Ayn Kaf on f. 1r, where there is also an Arabic couplet in a different hand from that of the start of the main text.
The text was copied by several different hands, and a number of the pages show water damage along their bottom edges. Several pages feature marginalia that appear to be additional information supplementing the main narrative.
This copy appears to have been transcribed from the text found at Or. 1127. It reproduces the same errors found in the earlier text, such as in Sahife III, Firka 2's rubric (ff. 142r and 146r). The subscription of the manuscript is also identical to that found in Or. 1127.
