Summary of Contents: معرفت نامه حقی A Turkish Encyclopaedia of Sciences entitled Ma'rifat-nama-i-Haggi, compiled
in 1170/1756-7 by Ibrahim Haqqi. See Pertsch's Berlin Turkish Catalogue,
PP. 96-97, and Rieu's Turkish Catalogue, pp. 115-116. At least three editions of
the text have been printed. The MS. was transcribed in Erzeroum by 'Ubaydu'lláh ibn Faydi'lláh, a disciple
of Sayyid Hájjí Tímúr al-Kamálí, and completed in Rabí' II, 1234/Feb., 1819. It
comprises, besides a very full table of contents of 10 ff., 330 ff. of 27'2 x 15'5 c.
and 37 ll., and is written in a small, neat nasal with rubrications and punctuation
in gold, within gold and red ruled borders. The two opening pages (ff. 1-2) are
elaborately if rather crudely illuminated.
