Five Poems &x28;quintet&x29;, View Of The Bosphorus Strait, Walters Manuscript W.666, Fol. 10a - This Is An Illuminated And Illustrated Copy Of The Ḫamse (quintet) Of The Ottoman Turkish Poet And Scholar ʿAṭāʾullāh Bin Yaḥyá ʿAṭāʾī (d. 1044 AH / 1634 CE). Although Different In Content, This Work Takes Its Inspiration From The Famous Persian Khamsah Of Niẓāmī Ganjavī (d. 605 AH / 1209 CE) And The Khamsah Of Amīr Khusraw Dihlavī (d. 725 AH / 1325 CE). This Ottoman Copy Of ʿAṭāʾī's Work Ends With A Portion Of His Dīvān (fols. 142b-151b) Instead Of The Fifth Poem (mesnevi), Ḥilyet ül-efkār. The Text, Written In Nastaʿlīq Script, Was Copied By Ḫeyrullah Ḫeyrī Çāvuşzade In 1133 AH / 1721 CE. There Are Thirty-eight Illustrations, And Illuminated Incipits Introduce The Different Poems (fols. 1b, 22b, 63b, 107b, And 142b). The Brown Leather Binding Is Original To The Manuscript. Photo
