Risāla-’i Ma‘ārif-i Shaybānī - رسالۀ معارف شیبانی
- Scope & Content:
-
A compendium of basic Islamic religious knowledge in Eastern Turki under the title of Risāla-’i Ma‘ārif-i Shaybānī. The original text was written in 913 AH (1508 CE) by Abū'l-Fatḥ Muḥammad Shaybānī Khān (reigned 906-915 AH/1500-10 CE) for his son Muḥammad Taymūr.
The text contains a fine illuminated unvan.
The calligraphy in the current volume was done by Sulṭān-‘Alī Mashhadī in Mashhad in 916 AH (1510-11 CE). The calligraphy, however, and the formula differ from authenticated examples of his work, which leads one to believe that this manuscript was likely copied by one of his disciples.
