Contents
Summary of Contents: One incomplete copy of an anonymous version of the romance of Cāmāsp (a.k.a. Jamasp), son of the prophet Daniel. Missing beginning and end.Language(s): Ottoman Turkish. Ethé suggests that rhe language is "archaic", though while some spellings reflect a more Old Anatolian Turkish orthography (e.g. اُیله for öyle ) this claim awaits confirmation on the basis of further analysis.
