This volume contains biographical notices of Ottoman Turkish musicians and singers. The work is also known by the title Tezkire-yi hvanandegan.

This remarkable figure was an eminent scholar not only in the field of jurisprudence but also in tefsir and lexicography. He was an aesthete who wrote excellent poetry in both Arabic and Ottoman Turkish and was the father of the renown poet Fıtnat Hanım.
The text contains a single illuminated unvan featuring floral motifs.
