Persian Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'> Author Şem‘ī Şemullah (d. ca. 1602) composed this Ottoman Turkish prose interpretive commentary on the Persian <i>Būstān</i> (Fragrant Orchard), of Saʻdī. Completed by Ibrahīm bin Velī on Friday, end of Muḥarram 994 AH (17 Jan 1586 CE), it would appear to be one of the earliest-known extant copies to survive. British linguist Sir William Jones (1746–1794) possibly acquired the volume while a student.</p>
