- Scope & Content:

This volume contains the last portion of the official history of the Ottoman Empire, extending from the accession of Ahmet III (1115 AH/1703-04 CE) to 1134 AH (1721-22 CE), compiled by Mehmet Raşit.
In the epilogue of the present work (f 495r), Raşit states that his labours as court chronicler, an office for which he had been selected in the early part of 1126 AH (1714 CE), were brought to a close by his appointment to the Kadılık of Halep. He stayed seven years in the latter post, was subsequently sent on a mission to the Persian Court in 1141 AH (1728-29 CE), and died in 1148 AH (1735-36 CE).
Raşit's history, written in continuation of Naima's text, comprises the years 1071-1134 AH (1660-1722 CE). The present manuscript contains the second and third volumes of the work bound in one. The second wants about a page at the beginning.
The contents of the volume are as follows: Vol II : Preface (f 2r); accession of Sultan Ahmet Han on 9 Rebiülevel 1115 AH (23 July 1703 AH; f 36); events of 1116 AH (f 51r); 1117 AH (f 65r); 1118 (f 72v); 1119 AH (f 81v); 1120 AH (f 91v); 1121 AH (f 100r); 1122 AH (f 119v); 1123 AH (f 130v); 1124 AH (f 141v); 1125 AH (f 147r); 1126 AH (f 151v); 1127 AH (f 158r); 1128 AH (f 215v); 1129 AH (f 270v); 1130 AH to Cemaziülahir (f 296r); Vol III : continuation of 1130 AH (f 302v); 1131 AH (f 350v); 1132 AH (f 373v); 1133 AH (f 417v); 1134 AH down to Şeval (f 458v); Hatime (f 495r).
