- Title:
- Sefine-yi nefise-yi Mevleviyan - سفینۀ نفیسۀ مولویان
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the biographies of Sufis of the Mevlevi Order by Mustafa Sakıp Dede, himself a Mevlevi şeyh and also author of a Divan. Sakıp died at Kütahya in 1148 AH (1735-36 CE). The present manuscript therefore dates from his lifetime.
The Sefine comprises three volumes; manuscript copies are relatively scarce. In the present copy, the text of parts 1 and 3 is preceded by a table of subjects as found in the printed edition as well.
The contents of the volume are: tables (ff 4v-5r); part 1 (ff 6v-183r); part 2 (ff 184v-342v); tables (ff 343v-344r); part 3 (ff 345v-442r).
The text contains small illuminated unvanlar on ff 6v, 184v, and 345v; all are identical in form, but the first has additional floral motifs and four colours, while the others are in gilt and black only.
The colophon of the text is found on f 442r and states that the work was copied by Hafız Osman us-Settari un-Nakşibendi from Muharrem to Şeval 1141 AH (August 1728 to June 1729 CE). The date Recep 1135 AH (April-May 1723 CE) found on f 183r probably refers to the composition of part 1.
