    Summary note
    A translation by Derviş Murtaza Bektaşî of Faz̤l Allāh's Jāvīdān-nāmah, his most famous work on Hurufism. The original text of the translation ends on fol. 322b (see explicit), and, in this copy, this is followed by a versified conclusion by the translator on fol. 323a-326a (see end of explicit).
    Notes
    • Ms. codex.
    • Title from fol. 12b. Other titles from different places in the ms., including fol. 13a and fol. 322b (see end of text).
    • Physical description: 20 lines per page. Written in a casual hand, in a medium-sized informal ruqʻah in black ink, with use of blue ink for rubrication. Catchwords on the verso of each leaf. Cream wove paper. Fol. 2b-10a have a list of contents in the same hand as the main text. Fol. 10b-11a contain a key to the meanings of letters used in the text, entitled "Miftah-i huruf-i Câvidân-i dürr-i yetim". A short paragraph on fol. 12a. The two colophons by the scribe on fol. 326a are followed by a page of verses on fol. 326b in a later hand, and a calligraphic drawing of a human figure on fol. 327a.
    • Origin: Copied by Akçehisarî Derviş Süleyman in 1222 (1807-8) -- colophon (fol. 326a). The colophon is followed by another short selection of verses, added by the scribe in 1273 (1856-7).
    • Incipit: الحمد لله الذى له ملك السموآت والارض ولم يتخذ ولدًا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك ... بعد آز حمد وثناء ح ق عز شانه ايطالب اسرارى
