- Kitab-i Cevahirü'l-Kelimat - كتاب جواهر الكلمات
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains a versified Ottoman Turkish-Arabic vocabulary by Şemsi which is an imitation of those by Ferişteoğlu and Şahidi. Each section (kıt'a) is in a different metre of which the pattern is given at the end.
There are two other mesneviler in this manuscript:
ff 46v-50r : An anonymous poem on the rules relating to prayer and ablutions by a certain Garibi (f 50r), who put into verse a risale translated from the Arabic into Ottoman Turkish on the same subject made by Müfti Şemseddin Menla Fenari for his grandson;
ff 50v-74v : A versified Persian-Ottoman Turkish vocabulary based on Şahidi entitled Kān-i maᶜānī written by el-Seyit Hasan, the son of Haccı Efendi Aksarayi, with the mahlas of Rızai (ff 52r, 74v). İbrahim (1640-48 AH) is mentioned as the reigning Sultan (f 51r) and the date of composition of the text is given as 1051 AH (1641-42 CE) (74v). As in the Cevahirü'l-Kelimat, each section is in a different metre of which the pattern is given at the end.
All three works were copied in the same hand in 1130 AH (1717-18 CE).
