Notes	This manuscript is a fifteenth-century copy of the Diwan, a collection of poetry by a famous author, Maulana Jalal al-Din al-Rumi (1207-1273), who is also referred to as Mawlawi. The page identifying the copyist shows the date, as well as the name of the copyist, called Sheikh Al-Islam bin Hussein bin Zain Al-Din. It is possible that this major work by Rumi was copied in Nasta'liq script during the era of the Ottoman Empire in either Konya or Bursa, and it must have been part of the Ottoman Sultan's collection, as two pages of the manuscript show a stamped tugra of the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II bin Mehmed (1481-1512). The first and last pages of the manuscript are dotted with gold and give the text a richly decorated border. The decorative medallion for writing the title and the decorative plaque (address / sarluh) in particular are finely drawn, while the headings are written in red, blue, brown and green, but are not greatly decorated. Throughout the text there are blue and gold bands framing the verticals of the text, dividing the poetry, which usually consists of two-line stanzas, quatrains, and ghazals.

Cilt	This dark brown leather flap binding has gold stamped floral borders and marbled paper doublures. It was probably made in early 19th-century Turkey.
