Notes
Ms. codex.Title from fol. 2b.12 lines per page. Written in a small, casual ruqʻah in black ink. Cream paper with visible chain lines.Incipit: بزدم غفلتده بلدك نازوال عالمى عالم رؤياده چوق كورك مثال عالمىExplicit: سنكدر دور دولت حكمكى ذياده انفاذا يت خدا اقبالكى حفظ ايلسون هر درلو افاتدن - Namık Kemal's prose work, interspersed with verse, of social and political commentary expressed through the metaphor of a vision or a dream. The text ends on fol. 22a, and is followed, on fol. 24b-26a, by a copy of a letter from a medical student in Istanbul to one of his relatives in Diyarbakır. The letter is in the same hand as the main text and, according to its title on fol. 24a, it was copied in Kanunusani '205 (1791) -- given that this is in the same hand as the main text (and written on the remaining sheets of the same quire and thus after it), this date either refers to some other copy from which this one was taken, or is an error for '305 (1888). The latter option would mean that the main text was copied before or in 1888.
