The manuscript was copied by various scribes of the eighteenth century, many of whom were prominent calligraphers of the period. The index introducing the manuscript gives the texts and calligraphers as follows:
1)The Hefte (‘Week’) incantation (vird), in the hand of the Imam of Imrahor Mosque, al-Sayyid Abdullah Efendi, the colophon unsigned, dated 1138 AH (1725-6 AD)
Although the index states that Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah (d. 1731) was imam of the Imrahor Mosque, it was in fact his father who held that position. Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah was one of the most talented students of Hafiz Osman, especially in naskh, and Hafiz Osman is reported to have said that “He writes more beautifully than I.” For further information on this scribe, see M. Uğur Derman, Letters in Gold: Ottoman Calligraphy from the Sakip Sabanci Collection, Istanbul, New York, 1998, p. 78.
2)The Hizb al-Bahr in the hand of Zühdi Isma‘il Efendi, the colophon signed Isma‘il el-Zühdi, dated 1138 AH (1725-6 AD)
Isma‘il Zühdi the ‘Elder’, son of Hasan, became interested in calligraphy while working as a shoemaker at the Zindan Kapisi. He was a pupil first of Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah, who is mentioned above, and then of Anbari-zade Dervish ‘Ali. Following the death of Anbari-zade Dervish ‘Ali, our scribe was granted his diploma by Suyolcuzade Mehmed Necib Efendi with Eğrikapılı Mehmed Rasim Efendi also in attendance. For further information on this scribe, see Müstakimzâde Süleyman Sâdeddin, Tuhfe-i Hattatin, Istanbul, 1928, pp. 119-120.
3)A prayer of Shahab al-Din Suhrawardi in the hand of Eğrikapılı Mehmed Efendi, the colophon signed Mehmed Rasim known as Imam-zade, from among the pupils of ‘Abdullah
Mehmed Rasim Efendi began his studies under his father before he became the student of Yedikuleli Seyyid Abdullah, mentioned above. A talented calligrapher, and educated in religion and literature, he went on to become calligraphy teacher at the Galata Sarayi in 1714 and at the Topkapi Sarayi in 1737. During his tenure, he is thought to have taught over a thousand calligraphers. For further information on this celebrated calligrapher, see M. Uğur Derman, Letters in Gold: Ottoman Calligraphy from the Sakip Sabanci Collection, Istanbul, New York, 1998, p. 82.
4)Eshref-zade Rumi’s prayer in the hand of Kütahi Ahmed Efendi, the colophon signed Ahmed bin ‘Ali known as al-Kütahi, formerly a qadi of Damascus.
5)The Seven Verses and the Prayers of the Axis (Evrad-i Kutb) in the hand of Vefa’i Abdullah Efendi, the colophon signed ‘Abdullah al-Vefa’i, teacher of calligraphy in the royal palace, dated (1)139 AH (1726-7 AD)
Abdullah Vefa’i was from Edirne and was a pupil of Kevkeb Mehmed Efendi. Though famous for his skill, he was criticized for his eccentric behaviour and unorthodox practices, such as, according to one source, writing with his left hand or his foot. He died in 1141 (1728-9) For his biography, see M. Uğur Derman, Letters in Gold: Ottoman Calligraphy from the Sakip Sabanci Collection, Istanbul, New York, 1998, p. 291.
6)Ebüssuud Efendi’s Du‘a-name in the hand of ‘Abd al-Karim Efendi, the colophon signed ‘Abdülkerim pupil of Hafiz Ahmed

8)al-Hisn al-Hasin of al-Jazari in the hand of Ketani-zade Mustafa Efendi, the colophon signed Mustafa Ketani-zade from among the pupils of Huseyin Efendi, dated 1138 AH (1725-6 AD)
Mustafa Ketani-zade is recorded as a pupil of Hüseyin Efendi who died in 1140 (1727-8), before reaching the age of 40. He was called Ketani-zade (son of the flax weaver) on account of his coming from a line of makers of flax-rope makers, see Müstakimzâde Süleyman Sâdeddin, Tuhfe-i Hattatin, Istanbul, 1928, p. 540.

Dervish Ibrahim was the son of the calligrapher Hafiz Halil Efendi and is said to have reached the same degree of perfection as his father, see Müstakimzâde Süleyman Sâdeddin, Tuhfe-i Hattatin, Istanbul, 1928 p. 31.
11) Salat Mudariyya [of al-Busiri] in the hand of Bosnevi Suleyman Efendi, the colophon signed Suleyman al-Bosnevi
Suleyman Bosnevi studied with Hafiz Mehmed Efendi and dedicated himself to teaching. Müstakimzâde praises him as a calligrapher, saying he became the ‘master of the seal of Solomon of assurance’, see Müstakimzâde Süleyman Sâdeddin, Tuhfe-i Hattatin, Istanbul, 1928, p. 219.
