- Title:
- Saatname - سعاتنامه
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the Saatname or 'Book of Hours' by Hibetullah İbn-i İbrahim. The work, written in a plain style, begins with a long introduction (ff 1v-12v) in which the author promises forgiveness of all sins, a blissful end, and the joys of heaven, to whosoever shall write or read his book, or pray for the author. The rewards attending a liberal treatment of fakirler are so often insisted upon that it might be assumed that the author belonged to that tarikat.
The body of the text addresses the hours of the night in the following order:
(1) ff 12v-30r : Akşam saati ;
(2) ff 30v-38v : Yatsı saati ;
(3) ff 39r-43r : Gökler saati ;
(4) ff 43v-55v : Uyku saati.
In each section, the author dwells a great deal on the stories of the Prophets connected with them, the movements of angels and devils in each, and the rewards in store for those who wake and pray in each of them.
The latter part of the book (ff 56r-93v) is devoted to the hours of Paradise (Cennet saati) and to a full account of the fate of souls after death and on the day of judgment.
This manuscript was copied in 1202 AH (1788-89 CE)
