Summary note

Ms. is a nearly complete copy of vol. 50 of Tarih-i Raşit and corresponds to p. 1-392, line 15 of the 1865 printed ed. The vol. is mistitled both on the cover and on f. 1a as the history of Yirmisekiz Çelebi, whose embassy to France is described in this vol. This vol. of Raşit's history covers the years 1130-1134 [1717 or 1718-1721 or 1722]. This copy lacks information concerning the scribe and date of copying; two owner's stamps carry the dates 1138 [1725 or 1726] and 1187 [1773 or 1774].
