- Divan-i Nabi - ديوان نابى
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the collected poetry of Nabi.
In a versified prologue to the gazeller in Or 407, Nabi states that a collection of his poems made by some learned man (who is not named) in Istanbul had become incomplete, given the number of poem he had composed since its compilation, and that Silahdar İbrahim Paşa, Treasurer of the Sultan, after his arrival at Halep (Aleppo), took upon himself the trouble to compile a new collection, assigning to each poem its proper place. This must have taken place a few years before Nabi's death, for the Divan includes a chronogram for the birth of Şehzade Sultan İsa, a son of Ahmet III, born in 1117 AH (1705-06 CE).
The contents of this Divan are: mesneviler, mostly in praise of Sultan Mehmet IV and of Musahip Mustafa Paşa, the author's first patron (died 1095 AH/1683-84 CE) (ff 1v-21v); kasideler, the first four of which are in praise of Musahip Mustafa Paşa, the next of which are addressed to Cafer Paşa, to Sultan Mustafa II on his accession, to the Grand Vezir Hüseyin Paşa (Köprülü, 1109-14 AH/1697-1703 CE) and to the Reis Rami Efendi (ff 21v-46v); Muhammesat (ff 46v-49r); Chronograms with dates ranging from 1072 AH (1661-62 CE) to 1122 AH (1710 CE) (ff 49r-66v); Gazeller in alphabetical order (ff 66v-145v); Rubaiyat (ff 145v-155r); Matali (ff 155r-161r); Muammeyat or riddles on proper names (ff 161r-167r); Lağziyat, or logogriphs (ff 167r-169r); and Latifeler and hezeliyat (ff 169r-171r).
The manuscript was copied in the 18th century CE.
