- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the Hayriname, a poem containing moral precepts and rules of life by Yusuf Nabi. It is addressed to the son of the poet, Ebü'l-hayr Mehmet Çelebi, who, it appears from the prologue, was born in his father's fifty-fourth year and was eight years old at the time of composition. In the same passage, Nabi, after praising his son's birthplace Roha (possibly Urfa, Turkey), says that, after spending thirty years of his life in official duties, partly in Edirne and partly in Istanbul, he had given up worldly pursuits and retired to a secluded life in the congenial climate of Halep (Aleppo), where he was writing the preset work.
The manuscript was completed at the beginning of Rebiülahir 1116 AH (August 1704 CE).
