Notes
Text printed in Arabic type on thin burnished paper. Floral woodcut head-piece at beginning of text. The fifteenth of 17 works printed by Ibrahim Müteferrika, "müteferrika" (house steward) to Sultan Ahmed III, and first printer of moveable Arabic type in the Muslim world. Imprint taken from colophon. Caption title. Continuation of Raṣit Efendi's Ta'rīkh-i Rāshid, and the third in a trilogy of official Ottoman histories. ‡b The superficiality of Asim's "history," which is little more than a court chronicle of the years 1134 to 1141 (1721/22-1728/29), conveys the frivolity and complacency of the "Tulip Period" of the Ottoman Empire; see J.R. Walsh, "C̆elebi-zade," Encyclopaedia of Islam (New ed.), 2:20..
