"Edifying tales in Turkish, mostly not longer than one page, derived from a large number of classical works in Arabic and Persian, with named authors and titles, and a few Turkish anecdotes sourced to “Tārīẖ-i H̱oca Efendi” (i.e. Tācü't-tevārīẖ) of Saʿdeddīn H̱oca (7 stories, f. 81a–85b). The author, a well-read ḳāżī in Istanbul, compiled and dedicated this work in fairly simple Turkish to Sultan Aḥmed III (f. 2b) and for the entertainment of that Sultan’s son-in-law “Dāmād-i meḥterem vezir-i ʿAżam-i mükerrem . . . İbrāhīm Paşa” (f. 3a), who served as Grand Vezir from 1718 to 1730." -- copied from Eleazar Birnbaum's Ottoman Turkish and Çagatay Manuscripts in Canada.
