• Content:
• The work is a gloss written by al-Sadeddīn Taftazānī on Sadr al-Sharīa's Tenḳīḥ al-uṣūl. The author gives the names of the works that are the source of his gloss in the introduction. It became one of the basic textbooks taught in madrasas during the Ottoman period. It is still taught in some Islamic countries today. Due to its criticism of Sadr al-Sharī'a, the work had a great resonance especially among the Hanafi scholars, and the discussions it put forth deeply influenced the later fiqh methodology literature, and was criticized by many authors such as Kadı Burhānaddīn. Many scholars, including Musannifak, wrote glosses on the work. Most of these glosses remained unfinished.

• Some notes on the manuscript:
• The manuscript was copied relatively early, in the mid-15th century, at the Karatay Madrasa in Konya. Despite this, it contains only two ownership records, both dating approximately two centuries after its production. In 1630, the manuscript came into the possession of Ali bin Ali of Akçahisar, the qadi of Skopje, and twelve years later, it passed to Kadızade Muhammed bin Veli. Subsequently, Murabıtzâde Hasan Bey endowed this manuscript to one of the chambers of the Yeniçorlu Madrasa and appointed Karacazâde Mustafa bin Hacı İbrahim as the trustee of the endowment.
  The marginal notes, including verification remarks such as "sahh," excerpts from source texts, word explanations, and notes indicating that the text was checked (mukabele), demonstrate that the manuscript was not only used as a reading text but also served as a study and teaching material.
  The historical journey of this manuscript provides insights into the transition of books from individual ownership to the waqf system during the Ottoman period, as well as their functions in this context. With the decline of the functionality of old waqfs and madrasas, this manuscript was transferred to the Hafız Ahmed Ağa Library, thus preserving it for posterity.
