İnşā'-i marġūb ve maṭlūb انشاء مرغوب و مطلوب, on fol. 1b, containing specimens of elegant letters, especially of those exchanged between high officials. It is probably identical with or at least similar to the انشاء مرغوب of ʿAbdüllāh Şākir (see G. Flügel i. p. 256, and Krafft, No. 94); other İnşās انشاء of the same title, all more or less compiled on the same principle, are noticed in Rieu, p. 100 (by Seyyid Vaḥdetī Çelebī, about AH 1114-1116=AD 1702-1704); W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 469; Krafft, Nos. 100-113; C. J. Tornberg, No. 70; Cat. des MSS. et Xylographes, Nos. 585-589, and G. Flügel i. p. 257 (the last named is of very recent date, viz. AH 1252=AD 1836). The present collection contains, like ʿAbdüllāh Şākir's İnşā انشاء, in the Vienna copies, the usual counting tables in ciphers, as officially used, with their equivalents in common numerical figures.

Language(s): Ottoman Turkish
