- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains an Ottoman Turkish translation of the Iᶜtikadnāmah, a Persian mesnevi on Islamic doctrine by Jāmī. The name of the author of this translation, Mehmet Oğlu Ali Duhanizade, appears of f 6r, and that of the reigning Sultan, Murat III (1574-95 CE) on f 4v, which, like some fo the headings, is written in gold.
The title of the work is a chronogram, giving the date of compilation of the work (979 AH/1571-72 CE), which is actually in the reign of Sultan Selim II. The explanation may be that the work was originally dedicated to the latter Sultan but was offered to the new one, with some slight rearrangement of the preamble. To alter the chronogram at the end would have meant the adoption of a new title, so the former chronogram-title was retained.
The text contains a single unvan. Some of the text has been written in the margins on ff 8r-20v.
The manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
