That circle also included Şeyh Gâlib and occupied an important place in late eighteenth-century Ottoman poetry. Pertev’s verse belongs to this setting of cultivated literary exchange; his career also extended to official historical writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEkrem Bektaş identifies the Būlāq printing of 5 Ṣafar 1253, or 11 May 1837, as the work of Muvakkitzâde, rather than the similarly named statesman Pertev Pasha. The colophon on page 91 dates the printing to 5 Ṣafar 1253 AH. Its ornamented opening and framed verse carry an Ottoman poetic collection into an Egyptian printed form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurat Sivri’s 2024 study offers another way into Pertev’s verse: the night as a setting for solitude, longing and imagined reunion. Celestial imagery also intersects with the language of timekeeping, a suggestive connection for the son of the timekeeper at Istanbul’s Sultanahmet mosque. The poems bring emotional experience and the observation of time into the same imaginative world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoards rubbed and unevenly faded or discoloured, with small surface marks.
