- 1. fol. 1b-24b: Haza Kitab-i Cevahir ül-kelimat. A rhyming Arabic-Turkish dictionary modelled on Şahidî İbrahim Dede's Persian-Turkish dictionary in verse, Tuhfe-yi Şahidî. According to the added titles on front flyleaf and fol. 1a, the author is "Şemsi" (Şemsî Paşa, d. ca. 1580?; this pen-name appears in the text on fol. 4b.
- 2. fol. 28b-39b: Tarz-i Şahidî. First Bosnian-Turkish dictionary in verse, modelled on Şahidî İbrahim Dede's Persian-Turkish dictionary in verse, Tuhfe-yi Şahidî, which is why it is also known as "Potur Şahidi". Makbul-i arif is the name given by the author himself in the text (see fol. 30a). According to the end of text, the work was composed (or possibly copied?! - given that this line does not seem to appear in other ms. copies and given the wording of it) in 1040 (1630 or 1631)
- see explicit, though elsewhere the date of the composition is given as 1041/1631.
