Contents

Summary of Contents: This MS., originally marked W. 126, was bought with E. 5 in September, 1901,
but is omitted in Further Notes. It comprises 120 ff. of 14'7 x 10'4 c. and 17 ll.,
and is written in a small, legible ta'liq. It contains two treatises in Turkish, the
first (ff. 1-20) imperfect at the end, the second (f. 21-120) at the beginning,
both without title or indication of authorship. The first begins:
الحمد لله الذي فاطر السموات والأرض جاعل الملائكة رسلا اولى أجنحة مثنى وثلاث و رباع
يزيد في الخلق ما يشاء ان الله على كل شيء قدیر یعنی اجنحه ملائکه که مثنى وثلاث و رباع
واقع اولمشدر كلمه الهی در که مرتبه كتابتده كه مرتبه خلقدر بقرينه يزيد في الخلق ما يشاء
ج الى آخره ایکی ایکی اوچ اوچ و درت
كه كتابتدر حروف منقوطه دن که بونلردر ب
درت حرف نقطه ايله للمشدر الخ
The occurrence of the characteristic Hurúfi symbols for the numbers 28 and 32,
and the citations from Hurúfí poems like the 'Arsh-náma-i-Iláhí prove that the
second (acephalous) tract emanates from the professors of that doctrine.
