A collection of chiefly Sufi poetry, starting with a selection by Refiʻî, entitled Haza risale-yi Refiʻî, including excerpts by Rüştü, İbrahim Efendi, Gaybî, Nesimî, Kaygusuz Abdal, and ending with a short selection of verses apparently by the scribe, who also seems to be the compiler of the collection.

Manuscripts of the Islamic World
Manuscripts of the Islamic World offers a curated selection of extraordinary manuscripts hosted or held by Princeton University Library. The manuscripts are predominantly in Arabic, but there are also many in Persian and Ottoman Turkish. The manuscript digitizations here are a fraction of the full Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections, housed in Special Collections in Princeton's Firestone Library. Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.
