Item Summary

A divan by Mehmet İzzet Paşa, apparently in his own hand. Fol. 2a contains a chronological account of the author's life (written in first person), with relevant dates. Fol. 4a has a crossed out section of muhammes verses at the beginning, before the start of the incipit. The main text of the divan ends on fol. 83a (see explicit), which is dated, but this is then followed by an extra section of müfredât added later on fol. 87a-87b.
