Empty string

From the buried historical books, there is a book called (Kulshun Khalifa) authored in Ottoman Turkish by Murtada Effendi Nazmi Zadeh, or Murtada Sayyid Ali Nazmi. He was a man born in Baghdad, then emigrated from it along with most of the Turks when Shah Abbas the Safavid took over. He died in Istanbul in the year 1136 AH. There is a long discussion about this man, which can be found in detail in the book (Iraqi Investigations) by Yaqub Sarkis. His book Kulshun Khalifa, meaning the Garden of the Caliphs, was printed in Istanbul in 1143 AH. It contains valuable information about the Islamic world in general, and modern Iraq in particular, because he was from the men of the 12th century AH and was an eyewitness to the events that took place in Iraq. It has not been translated into Arabic to this day due to the difficulty of the language in which it was written. This book, along with the two books we translated before it, (The Shade of the Ministers) and (The History of Baghdad), complement each other, and the events in these three books are sequential from the end of the Umayyad state to what came after the Mamluk rule, which the historians called the Dark Period. We exerted great effort in translating it, meaning the book (Kulshun Khalifa), as the author, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote it in three languages: Persian, Old Ottoman, and Arabic, and arranged it in a strange manner, making it very difficult to grasp the intended meanings. He also did not translate what he conveyed from Persian prose and poetry into Turkish but left it in its original language. Since the book’s style is Turkish and does not understand Persian, many typographical errors, distortions, and spelling mistakes occurred in its printing. Some friends and professors familiar with Persian were tasked with translating it, but they were unable to do so for the reasons mentioned above.
