The word "mecmûʿa" is derived from the Arabic root "cemʿ," meaning "brought together" or "compiled." A mecmûʿa can be defined as a work that collects texts from different authors. Poetry mecmûʿas are particularly important because they may contain previously unidentified poems or poets. This mecmûʿa consists almost entirely of religious and mystical poems. It is registered in the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Atatürk Library under catalog number OE_YZ_1613. Based on the phrase "1228 Receb-i gurre" recorded in the manuscript, it can be said that the mecmûʿa was completed in 1813. The mecmûʿa also includes poems by poets who lived before this date.
