Title:

[Zeyl-i Siyer-i Veysi] - [ذيل سير ويسى]

Scope & Content:

This volume contains the continuation of Veysi's life of the Prophet Muhammad صلعم, as compiled by Yusuf Nabi. The original work on which this is based is entitled Dürretü't-tac fi sireti sahib il-miraç. It brings down the history of Prophet Muhammad صلعم to the battle of Badr, in 2 AH, and was cut short at that point by the death of the author in 1037 AH (1627-28 CE). Its continuation is written in imitation of the ornate style of its predecessor and begins with the expedition against the Banū Qaynuqāᶜ in 2 AH, ending with the taking of Makkah in 8 AH. This text was also interrupted by the death of its author, which occurred in 1124 AH (1712-13 CE) in Aleppo. The work was subsequently completed by Nazmizade.

The author of the present work, Yusuf Efendi of Urfa, took the mahlas Nabi and was considered one of the greatest poets of his time.

The manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
