The Qabus-nama (AD eleventh century) has been translated into Turkish many times by different translators. While one of the Chagatai Turkish translations of the work was completed by Âgehî (1809–1874) and is located in Uzbekistan, the other, by an unknown translator, is in the British Library (BL) (Or. 9661), but its beginning and end are missing. This article evaluates the Lund University Library (LUL) copy of the translation (Jarring Prov. 342), for which, unlike the other copies, the translator and translation date can be identified, as its beginning and end are intact. In this article, introductory information will be provided about Muhammad Siddiq al-Muqallib (Rushdie), the translator of the work, as well as Khoja Kefek Bey, who was instrumental in its translation. Additionally, the BL and LUL copies of the Qabus-nama will be compared using different criteria
