Item Summary

A collection of Nabi's writings, including correspondence, official letters, petitions, and some poetry. This copy would appear to be an expanded version of the usual collection (see copy 1984Y, or the copy in VOHD, XIII, 4, no. 288): after the section with which other copies end, this copy includes a short text Hüccet-i Nabi, which is then followed by a section of prayers and sermons (hutbes), and finally by a text about the Prophet Muḥammad entitled Hikâye.
