This work, which was the Shahnameh of the Ottoman sultans until the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, was written by Fethullah b., who used the pseudonym Arif. It was started by a clerk named Derviş al-Shirazi, and after his death, Eflatun b., who studied Hazani and Esiri. Sheikh Dervish Mehmed al-Shirvani continued and upon his death in 977 (1569), Seyyid Lokman b. Husayn b. el-Aşuri el-Urmevi continued. (Y.10b). He started the editing of this volume in 987 (1579-1580) and finished it in 992 (1584-1585). Luqman died in 1010 (1601).
Babinger in the Rieu catalog for this volume, p. Although he says that it is nothing more than Seyyid Lokman's Mücmel et-Tumar work, which is described in 54b, there is no doubt that it is the first volume of Hüner-name, based on the author's explanation in the introduction, although the content of both works is more or less on the same subject. There, Lokman says that he will write the third and fourth volumes of this work.
