Ms. A.F. 287a: Tables of Contents - Taṣnīf

This is a tabular summary of the manuscript’s contents, utilizing a classification model developed by Fatih Köksal for poetry miscellanies in his MESTAP project (http://mecmualar.tr.gg), modified according to the needs of multi textual manuscripts.

Remarks on the columns:

“authors, translators”:

• Names in brackets are authors/translators known from other sources but not explicitly mentioned in the manuscript.
• A question mark in brackets – [?] – is used after a pen-name (maḫlaṣ) when it is not clear if the relevant word really is a maḫlas.
• The names of individuals who – according to the writer – provided information are also given.

“text” gives the relevant information for identifying a text, which are:

• in the case of poems a maṭla‛ .
• in the case of ilāhīs and songs the refrain.
• in the case of prose texts the title, if given.
• If there is no title, either the beginning of the text or a short explanation of the kind of text with which we are dealing (recipe, prayer, letter, etc.) is given.

“form” indicates if a text is poetry or prose and the specific genre of each.

“remarks” indicates the language, dates, owners’ remarks, seals, and marginalia.

• A = Arabic, P = Persian, T = Turkish.
• Turkish is indicated only on pages which also use A and/or P.

“edition” offers bibliographic information concerning texts that have been previously edited (though without an attempt to be exhaustive).

Texts which are edited (and translated) for the first time in Vol. I of the project-books (see: Research > Publications) are also indicated.
