A dictionary and grammar of Baleybelen, the secret artifical language created by Muhyî-yi Gülşenî, composed in Cairo in the second half of the 16th century (after Selim II's succession to the throne). The second of the two preliminary sections of the work is dated and was completed in 988 (1580 or 81).
Collection
Part of 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.
