Persian Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'>This composite manuscript contains four works by ‘Abd al-Raḥman Jāmī (1414-1492). The first is an incomplete copy of his commentary on the Lama‘at of ‘Irāqī, composed in 886 AH (1481 CE). The second work appears to be the earliest-known copy of an Ottoman translation of the <i>Lavā'iḥ</i> (Flashes) composed by ‘Abdülmecīd ibn Naṣūḥ ibn Isrā'īl al-Rūmī al-Amāsī (d. 1588) in circa 1581, with this copy completed in Rabī‘ I 996 AH (Feb. 1588 CE), the same year that he died. The third manuscript contains both Jāmī's <i>Nay Nāmah</i> (Book of the Reed) followed by select excerpts from his <i>Ruq‘āt</i> (Correspondence), both copied by the same unidentified, Ottoman-era scribe. A prior owner combined these texts together into one volume and bount them together, probably during the early–mid 19th century CE.</p>
