- Title:
- Tuhfe-yi Şahidi - تحفۀ شاهدی
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains 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 current work is imperfect, with Ottoman Turkish glosses in the margin of the text. It has a lacuna, after f 21, extending from the eighth beyit of the twentieth kıt'a to the 45th beyit of the final section.
The manuscript was copied in 1096 AH (1685 CE).
