Summary note

A commentary on Farīd al-Dīn ʻAṭṭār's mystical poem Pendname by Mustafa Şemi, properly entitled Saadetname. This copy does not have the introductory section which would appear to be present in other copies (see incipits in GHB, vol. 13, 7682, and Rieu, p. 154, Sloane 3588). Another work of very similar style and contents is the commentary by Abdurrahman Abdî, entitled Müfid (see New Series no. 1707, GHB, vol. 13, 7679, and VOHD, XIII, 3, 308).
