Mecma'ul-lugat - مجمع اللغات
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains an abridged recension of the Persian dictionary explained in Ottoman Turkish by Nimetullah İbn-i Ahmet İbn-i Kadı Mübarek el-Rumi.
The preface of this work differs from that of Add MS 7680 by the omission of some passages, especially of the enumeration of the sources, and by the insertion of the title. Most of the poetical quotations found in the body of the fuller versions of this text are omitted here.
According to a notice extracted from a Atayi's Zeylü'ş-Şakaik by Dr. O. Blau, Nimetullah was a native of Sofia (contemporary Bulgaria) who settled in İstanbul, entered the Nakşibendi order, and was a zealous collector of curiosities and books. He died in the capital in 969 AH (1561-62 CE). Dr. Blau adds that he appears to have been a disciple of Kemal Paşazade, whose explanations he occasionally adduces as received from that scholar.
The manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
