Content:
It is his commentary on Suyūtī's (d. 911/1505) book on grammar, Cem'u'l-Cevâmi'. Cem'u'l-Cevâmi', which he compiled from nearly 100 works, was so named because it contains all subjects related to Arabic. The work consists of an introduction and seven chapters. These chapters are named as kitāb. The first five chapters are about grammar, the sixth chapter is devoted to the syntax of words, and the seventh chapter is devoted to sarf. The work concludes with a conclusion on the rules of calligraphy and orthography.
This organization of the work is characterized as an original one that has not been done before, and the author states that he adopted the method of the methodologists in this regard. The work contains different opinions in a concise and coherent manner. When al-Suyutī learned that his students had difficulty understanding the work, he wrote this commentary, Hem‘u’l-Hevâmi‘'. With this commentary, his work Cem'u'l-Cevâmi' became valuable and famous. Ömer b. Muhammed el-Fâriskûrî (d. 1018/1610) translated Cem‘u’l-cevâmi‘ and its commentary into verse in 6000 couplets under the title Cevâmiʿu’l-iʿrâb ve Hevâmi‘u’l-Âdâb. In addition, Ahmed b. Emîn eş-Şinkitî (d. 1913) explained Hem‘u’l-Hevâmi‘ and its examples (shawāḥid) in his ed-Dürerü’l-Levâmi‘ ʿalâ Hem‘i’l-Hevâmiʿ (Cairo 1328).

Some notes on the manuscript:
This copy, which bears the library seal of Hafiz Ahmed Aga, was owned by Abdülbâkî Arif, Seyyid Arif Şerefzade, Salahaddin Şenşûrî and Hasan and Ahmed bin Hasan. The copy was inscribed by Salahaddin Ibn Ahmad al-Shanshūrī, who was also one of the owners, in 964. According to the purchase record on the verso, the copy was purchased by Qadi Abdurrahman in 1045.Seyyid Arif Şerefzade, one of the owners of the copy, dated the copy in 1178. There are at least three other undated ownership records. This is an important sign of the frequencyof the manuscript's circulation.
On the other hand, considering the density of the marginalia, it can be said that the readers of the manuscript did not intervene much in the manuscript, but there are still some marginalia with remarks such as sahh and ayn. In addition, it is seen that some subject headings are written in the marginalia using red ink.
