A rare 453 year old Ottoman book
A 453-year-old Ottoman book with Doua’s and poetry and a biography of Mohammed (pbuh). The book was written in the 16th century (987 AH = 1569 AD) by ?smail Waldaqro. He copied the writings, as was customary at that time, from a grand writer who lived one or two hundred years before his time. Unfortunately, the reference to this writer has been lost, as the first pages of the book are missing. Even without this, the book is a great find. The book is 29 x 21 x 5 cm and contains circa 450 pages and is in a condition befitting its age.
