Summary of Contents: شرح فصوص الحكم (تركي) A Turkish commentary on the Fuşuşu'l-Hikam of Shaykh Muhyi'd-Din Ibnu'l- 'Arabi by Ahmad Bi-ján Yáxiji-Oghlu, who flourished about the middle of the ninth Muhammadan (fifteenth Christian) century at Gallipoli. The MS., which is unfortunately defective at the end and consequently has no date or colophon, comprises 314 ff. of 22 x 15 c. and 15 ll., and is written throughout in a good, clear waskh, fully pointed, the Arabic passages in red, and the titles of sections in red and in larger characters. Given to me by Dr Ridá Tawfiq at Constantinople in April, 1908,1Author: Yaziji Oghli Ahmed Bijian Ýazyjy ogly Aly, active 15th century Yazıcıoğlu Ahmed Bican, d. circa 1466Title: شرح فصوص الحكمTitle: منتهىTitle: commentary on the Fuşuşu'l-Hikam of Shaykh Muhyi'd-Din Ibnu'l- 'ArabiTitle: MuntahàSee Rieu's Turkish Catalogue, pp. 17-18 and 105-107; Gibb's History of Ottoman Poetry, vol. 1. PP. 390 et seqq., especially p. 406, where, however, the commentary on the Fusis is wrongly ascribed to Aḥmad's brother Muḥammad. That this is an error plainly appears from the following passage immediately succeeding the doxology in our MS.:
... وبعده محبّ العلماء وخادم الفقراء يازيجى اوغلی احمد بیجان على الله عنهما دار الجهاد و احسن البلاد کلیبولیده اولردی حق تعالى انا و جميع اهل ایمانه رحمت ایلسون آمین یا رب العالمين، سبب تاليف كتاب اولدر كم بنوم اولو قرنداشم بازیجی اوغلى شيخ ... سلمه الله تعالى
ایتدی برگون ككلم بكا ايتدى كم 2 (f) اگرچه خصوص غایت یوجه مرتبده در عقول راسخينه و لكن غایت فتنه در قلوب ناسخینه شول اعتبارجه كم بعضی سوزلری شرعه مخالف در و دخی ترتیب البها، ترتيب اوزرنه وتلدر الخ
The proper title of the book seems to be Muntahà, for the author says a little further on (f. 2b, last line):
و بو كتابك أدنى منتهى دیو آن ورده زیرا که فصوص دن (3) و اصطلاحات صوفیدن و منازل السايرندن (د) و تفسير كبيرون ... حتى عرصات معاده و جنات آباد ورنجه اشيو كتابد، جمع (sic) اولندی ایله اولسه جميع خلقوك منتهاسی اولدی بفضل الله تعالى
