Five poems &x28;quintet&x29;, Şeyh Nizameddin saving the life of Hüsrev-i Hindi, Walters Manuscript W.666, fol. 37a
This is an illuminated and illustrated copy of the Ḫamse (quintet) of the Ottoman Turkish poet and scholar Ê¿Aá¹ÄʾullÄh bin Yaḥyá Ê¿Aá¹Äʾī (d. 1044 AH / 1634 CE). Although different in content, this work takes its inspiration from the famous Persian Khamsah of NiẓÄmÄ« GanjavÄ« (d. 605 AH / 1209 CE) and the Khamsah of AmÄ«r Khusraw DihlavÄ« (d. 725 AH / 1325 CE). This Ottoman copy of Ê¿Aá¹Äʾī's work ends with a portion of his DÄ«vÄn (fols. 142b-151b) instead of the fifth poem (mesnevi), Ḥilyet ül-efkÄr. The text, written in nastaÊ¿lÄ«q script, was copied by Ḫeyrullah ḪeyrÄ« ÇÄvuÅŸzade 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.
