Hall-i muammayât-i esma el-hüsna. [1885 or 1886]

A translation/paraphrase of a Persian work of Jamī's on the subject of enigmatic properties of letters (ʻilm al-ḥurūf), entitled, according to the ms., Muʻammayāt asmāʼ al-ḥusná. This work perhaps corresponds to one of the four risālahs on the same subject listed in Jāmī, Naqd al-nuṣūṣ, ed. by Chittick, William C., Tehran 1977, introduction, pp. 20-21. The ms. also has an added title in a later hand on the upper margin of fol. 3a: Şerh-i kulliyât-i kavaid-i muamma-yi Mir Hüsayn . According to the end of text, the composition of the original work in Persian was completed in the last ten days of Ramaḍān 856 (1452), and the composition of the Ottoman version was completed on the 1st of Rabīʻ al-Ākhir 941 (1534) -- see fol. 104b.
