Nusretname

The Nusretname was an Ottoman account of the campaigns of Lala Mustafa Pasha in the Caucasus, Georgia and Shirvan in 1578–1580, at the onset of the Ottoman–Safavid War. The manuscript was created in 1584 by the Ottoman bureaucrat Muṣṭafa ʿĀlī, during the reign of Murad III.
Several major Ottoman illustrated manuscripts were created to relate the war against the Safavids, such as the Nuṣretnāme of the Ottoman bureaucrat Muṣṭafa ʿĀlī detailing the campaigns of Lālā Muṣṭafa Paşa, the Şecāʿatnāme of Āsafī Dal Meḥmed Çelebi and the Tārīh-i ʿOsmān Paşa by an anonymous author reporting the campaigns of Özdemiroğlu Osman Pasha, governor of Şirvān.
