summary

There is some confusion among bibliographers as to the correct place and date of printing of this edition. The preponderance of opinions suggest that it is a Constantinople imprint, as stated on the title page. As regards the date, Yaari suggests between the years 1603-1617, the years of Sultan Ahmed I reign, whose Court is noted on the title page.

ff. 6, 272. f.116r. a blank printers’ error. Lightly browned and dampstained, opening and closing leaf laid down and rehinged, first f.4 shaved at lower margin with loss of a few words. Modern boards. Sm. folio
