This deed in Turkish belongs to a vakıf established by Mihrimah Sultan (d. 1578), daughter of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent and Hürrem Sultan. It concerns the endowment for a mosque complex built by the architect Sinan in Üsküdar for Mihrimah Sultan. The document concerns the endowment of properties in Anatolia and Rumelia. Revenues from these were to be used to meet the expenses of the complex. The preface text is headed by a richly illuminated unvan panel, in the centre of which the Besmele is inscribed in gold thuluth script on a gold ground inside a cartouche.Yayınlandığı yer: Tanındı, Z., Yazıda Ahenk ve Renk, Sadberk Hanım Müzesi Koleksiyonundan Sanatlı Kitaplar, Belgeler ve Hüsn-i Hatlar, Sadberk Hanım Müzesi Yayını, İstanbul 2019, s. 370,371.
