Description:
|
Author Muṣṭafà Şem‘ī (fl. late 18th c.) composed this Ottoman Turkish commentary on the Persian Pandnāmah (Book of Advice), spuriously ascribed to Farīd al-Dīn ʻAṭṭār. In his introduction, the author states how he composed the work at the request of his friend, Ṣāḥib al-Dawlah ʿÖmer bin Ḥüseyin, which he dedicated to the latter’s patron Zeyrek Ağa, then presented it to Sulṭān Murād III (b. 1546, r. 1574–95 CE) when completed. The commentary itself consists of verse-by-verse quotations, with their translations, and occasional glosses on the original text, a style that the author maintains in his other Ottoman commentaries on Persian works. An Ottoman-era scribe named Ahmet Kadır Bülevi completed this manuscript 3 Muḥarram 1077 AH (6 Jul. 1666 CE).
