- Title:
- [Two Ottoman Divanlar]
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the two finely copied Ottoman Turkish Divanlar :
(I) ff 1v-60r : Divan-i Şerif, the collected poetry of Şeyh-ül-İslam Şerih Mehmet İbn-i Es'at Mehmet Ebu İshakzade, who was born likely in either 1130 AH (171-18 CE) or 1136 AH (1723-24 CE) and died in 1204 AH (1789-90 CE). Şerif was the father of the poet Fıtnat, whose Divan is found below. The Divan is divided into two part, the first of which (ff 1v-15v) contains mainly tevarih and rubaiyat, while the second (ff 12v-60r) is composed primarily of gazeller and matali ;
(II) ff 61v-111r : Divan-i Fıtnat, the collected poetry of the celebrated poet Zübeyde Hanım, whose mahlas was Fıtnat(died 1194 AH/1780 CE). The Divan is divided into two parts. The first comprises mainly rubaiyat and tevarih (ff 61v-90r), and the second is made up of gazeller, tahmisat, müseddesat, kıt'alar and elğaz (ff 91v-111r).
The text contains four superbly illuminated unvanlar on ff 1v, 16v, 61v, and 105v. There are also seven smaller bands of illumination with floral motifs on ff 54r, 54v, 55v, 56r, 65v, and 105v. Twelve pages contain (primarily full page) arabesque and floral designs drawn in gold.
In the colophon, we learn that the manuscript was copied, presumably for an important person, by the calligrapher, poet, librarian and Sufi Mehmet Nazif (died 1201 AH/1786-87 CE). It is dated 1195 AH (1781 CE), the year after Fıtnat's death.
