Note 541 — Chapter VI · THE RULING INSTITUTION: AS GOVERNMENT

A translation of a portion of the table of contents of this collection, as found in the manuscript Fluegel No. 1816, in the Imperial Library at Vienna, is given in Appendix III, below. This shows by comparison with the headings in Hammer’s Staatsverfassung, 396-424, that Hammer has there translated at least one-half of the manuscript, though he appears to attribute these sections to the Kanun-nameh of Achmet I (ibid. 384). The table of contents of the latter collection of laws is very different (see next note).
