- A history of the Osmanli Sultans
- From the accession of Bayezid I, Sultan of the Turks, ca. 1360-1403 to the death of Mehmed II, Sultan of the Turks, 1432-1481 Show more
- The present work is one of the earliest Turkish histories. It is written in a more ornate style but is not so rich or precise in historical detail. It contains, however, some circumstantial and spirited accounts of battles, especially of that of TerjaÌn (Serbia), in which Mehmed II, Sultan of the Turks, 1432-1481 defeated in 878 Uzun Hasan, Ruler of the Akkoyunlu, ca. 1420-1478. Arabic sentences and verses in Persian and Turkish are freely introduced. The present volume was probably preceded by another comprising the origin and the early reigns of the dynasty.
