Caption title.
Continuation of Raṣit Efendi's Ta'rīkh-i Rāshid, and the third in a trilogy of official Ottoman histories. ‡b The superficiality of Asim's "history," which is little more than a court chronicle of the years 1134 to 1141 (1721/22-1728/29), conveys the frivolity and complacency of the "Tulip Period" of the Ottoman Empire; see J.R. Walsh, "C̆elebi-zade," Encyclopaedia of Islam (New ed.), 2:20.
