On ff. 33b-50a a series of questions and answers on various points of Muslim theology (styled in the colophon rather incorrectly فتاوا), by the same Muḥammed bin Pīr ʿAlī Birgeli. It begins: مسئله فقهاء متأخرين اذانه واقامته وتعليمه لاجل الضرورة تجويز اتدكلرندن اگرچه ثواب دحى اولماز ايسه الخ.

Flagel i. p. 164 (اظهار الاسرار in Arabic), and 165 (العوامل الجديدة in Arabic), and iii. p. 93 (انقاذ الهالكين in Arabic with a Turkish translation by the author himself, styled ترجمه انقاذ), and p. 197 (غره‌نامه); see also the next item.
