Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, M VI 48 : Awrād-i šarīfa

Title	Basel, Universitätsbibliothek, M VI 48 : Awrād-i šarīfa
Publication Date:	1700
Type	Other
Language	Arabic
Digital	Yes
Manuscript	Yes
Library:	University of Iowa Libraries
Record ID	TN_cdi_manuscriptorium_primary_ECODIC_CHUBB_M_VI_48_2YTLDHA_en
Date	1700
Notes	Collection of prayers in the form of litanies (awrād), attributed to a Šayḫ Wafāʾ. The manuscript must have been completed before 1746, because in this year it was consigned to a religious foundation by Bašīr Āġā, a dignitary of the Ottoman court. The author cannot be conclusively ascertained since there are several people known by the name Šayḫ Wafāʾ. This manuscript probably belongs in the context of Islamic mysticism (Sufism), which was firmly established as an institution in the Ottoman-Turkish society of the period. The manuscript comes from the collection of the Islamic scholar and turkologist Rudolf Tschudi (1884-1960).
