Description:
Hasty nastaʻlīq., Islamic binding, in brown., No. 15 of 15 titles bound together., Purchased from Captain Tekeş, Istanbul in February 1965 on the Beinecke fund., The authorship is uncertain. The first note is dedicated to Selim I, who ascended the throne in 1512 (cf. Ibn Kamāl Pāshā's other tract in this volume, leaf 281 verso, which is dedicated to the same); hence the author could unlikely be al-Dawwānī (d. 1512 or 13). Ibn Kamāl Pāshā was mufti in Istanbul., and The third note is dedicated to an unnamed sultan, presumably again Selim I.
