- Title:
- [Ottoman Turkish treatise on surveying]
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains a short untitled treatise written on surveying for Grand Vezir Ahmet Paşa in 1154 AH (1741-42 CE). The work does not bear the name of its author. It focuses largely on the use of a sextant or theodolite.
The text contains diagrams on ff 3r-v, 4v, and 5r, and one unvan with floral illumination on f 1v.
This manuscript is likely contemporary with the original work and was thus copied in the mid-18th century CE.
