Description:
A composite manuscript containing four works by 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 Lavā'iḥ (Flashes) composed by ‘Abdülmecīd ibn Naṣūḥ ibn Isrā'īl al-Rūmī al-Amāsī (d. 1588) in circa 1581, with this manuscript completed in 1588, the year of his death. The third manuscript contains both Jāmī's Nay Nāmah (Book of the Reed) followed by select excerpts from his Ruq‘āt (Correspondence).
