Tuhfe-yi Şahidi - تحفۀ شاهدی
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains two copies of the Tuhfe-yi Şahidi, a well-known versified Persian-Ottoman Turkish vocabulary composed in 920 AH (1514-15 CE) by Şahidi, who died in 957 AH (1550-51 CE).
Mevlana Şahidi, or Şahidi Dede, whose given name was İbrahim, was born in Muğla in the province of Menteşe and entered, like his father Hodayi Dede, the Mevlevi order. He left, apart from the current work, a treatise on prosody and a poetical expansion of the Mesnevi of 600 lines entitled Gulshan-i Tavḥīd.
The volume is divided into two halves:
ff 1v-75v : A copy of the text found in Sloane MS 3583;
ff 76v-107v : A copy of the same text found in Harley MS 5494.
The manuscript was copied by Rev. John Haddon Hindley on paper watermarked 1804 CE, and thus dates, at its earliest, from that year.
