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.

- In the introduction the author states that he composed his first ode with the rhyme khāl in response to the suggestion of a Turkish poet who composed a Turkish ode with the same rhyme. The author composed his ode and sent it to Dāwūd Pāshā, former governor of Baghdād, who sent it to some poets in Baghdād; one of these sent an ode rhyming in rāʼ criticising Buṭrus Karāmahʼs ode because he was a Christian. The author composed his second ode rhyming in rāʼ in answer to that criticism. On the two folios after the colophon is a fragment on music by al-ʻAṭṭār ʻAlī. On the two following folios occurs an ode in eulogy of Abū al-Mawāhib al-Bakrī al-Ṣiddīqī, 1037 [1627/8] by ʻAbd al-Raḥmān al-Mallāḥ.
