Notes
Ms. composite codex.Title from text 1.Layout: 19 lines per page ; frame-ruled in red.Description: Written in a small nastaʻlīq in black ink with use of red for rubrication. Texts are written by a single hand. Catchwords on the verso of each leaf.

Sample Text
Köstendilli Süleymân Şeyhi, 1750-1819 or 1820.Risale-yi hakaik il-aşk.[Browse]كستنديلي سليمان شيخي، 1750-1819 or 1820.رسالهء حقايق العشق.[Browse]كستنديلي سليمان شيخي، 1750-1819 or 1820.ديوان.[Browse] - 1. fol. 1b-128a: Hādhā Dīwān sharīf qidwat al-ʻārifīn al-Shaykh Sulaymān Shaykhī bi-Kūstandīlī al-Naqshbandī. Şeyhi's divan. The colophon is on fol. 84a, after the "tammat al-mufradāt", but the text continues with Şeyhi's poetry on fol. 85b to fol. 128a, so the latter part was possibly completed slightly later than the date in the colophon.2. fol. 135b-144a: Risale-yi hakaik il-aşk. A short treatise in Sufism. The text proper ends on fol. 143b and is followed by a short excerpt of verses by Şeyhi, entitled "Şiir li-müellif", on fol. 143b-144a.
