The original manuscript, formerly held in the library of the Aya Sofya Mosque, is still in Istanbul; it is now MS Ayasofya 3710 in the Süleymaniye Library. At some point a Turkish sultan commissioned very a handsome copy, now MS Oriental 5099 in the British Library in London. At a still later time, a total of about 260 recipes were added to Kitâb al Tabîkh's original 160 and the expanded edition was retitled Kitâb Wasf al-Atima al-Mutada (my translation of it also appears in Medieval Arab Cookery); three currently known copies of K.Wasf survive, all in Turkey – two of them in the library of the Topkapi Palace, showing the Turks’ high regard for this book. Finally, in the late fifteenth century Sirvâni made a Turkish translation of Kitâb al Tabîkh, to which he added some recipes current in his own day, the first Turkish cookery book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNEW PAPERBACK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thrift Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405490692289,"sku":"9781903018422","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/5445\/8561\/files\/9781903018422.jpg?v=1752420050","url":"https:\/\/bookladycooks.com\/products\/a-baghdad-cookery-book","provider":"Booklady Cooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
