This work on Sufism in the form of questions entitled Khawātim al-ḥikam is by ʿAlī Dede al-Būsnawī (d. 1007 AH / 1598 CE). This particular Ottoman copy was written in nastaʿlīq script by Muṣṭafá ibn al-Ḥājj Muḥammad in 1081 AH / 1670 CE. The Arabic text begins with an illuminated headpiece (fol. 1b). The red leather binding with central lobed oval with arabesques on a gold ground is contemporary with the manuscript.
