- Title:
- [Fetava-yi Abdürrahim Efendi] - [فتاوئ عبد الرحيم افندى]
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the voluminous collected fetava of Şeyh-ül-İslâm Menteşizade (also known as Menteşzade) Abdürrahim Efendi (died 1128 AH/1716 CE). Originally from Bursa, Abdürrahim was appointed Kadı of İstanbul in 1117 AH (1705 CE) and Kazasker of Rumelia three years later. He then rose to be Sadr of Rumeli three times. This career was punctuated by numerous dismissals from office. In 1127 AH (1715 CE), he became Şeyh-ül-İslâm, but the next year he died at Edirne. Abdürrahim's other, unpublished, writings include Ceridetü'l-feraiz and Talikat ala el-Beyzavi.
The work is correctly attributed in the colophon of the present manuscript, but the incipit is followed by words apparently indicating that the copyist at first believed the text to be the Fetava of Şeyh-ül-İslam Minkarizade Yahya (died 1088 AH/1677-78 CE).
There is slight dampstaining and some worming in the margins of the text.
The colophon is found on f 470r, in which we learn that the manuscript was copied by Ömer İbn-i Süleyman İbn-i Hasan and that it is dated avahir Muharrem 1203 AH (October 1788 CE).
