  • A manuscript containing four items by the same author, Celālzāde Ṣāliḥ Çelebī Efendi, of which three (the first, third, and fourth) may have been extracted from the same, larger work detailing the lives and reigns of the Ottoman Sulṭāns up to Süleymān I (a.k.a. Ḳānūnī Sulṭān Süleymān), probably called el-Süleymāniyye السلیمانیة, as suggested on folio 123b. If this is the case, the parts are likely out of order, since item four in this manuscript on Sulṭān Selīm I (a.k.a. Yavuz Sulṭān Selīm, the immediate predecessor of Süleymān I) is given as the ninth chapter of el-Süleymāniyye السلیمانیة, which following the traditonal line of succession would suggest that item three of this manuscript on Sulṭān Muḥammed II (a.k.a Fātiḥ Sulṭān Meḥmed) was originally chapter seven of that work, of which item one on Süleymān I himself would have been the tenth and last. Further complicating matters is a note on the fly leaf which suggests that the fourth item on Selīm I is either known as or derived from a work known as the Selīmnāme سلیم نامه, itself either equivalent to or derived from a work with the common title Tevārīḫ-i Āl-i ʻOs̱mān تواریخ آل عثمان. Whatever the relationship of items one, three, and four to one another might be, the second item in this manuscript is a poem titled Durar-ı neṣā'iḥ درر نصائحby the same author, which seems unrelated to the other historical works. — Multiple dates MS.
