The Hünername ( "Book of Talents", TSMK H.1523-1524) is an illustrated manuscript completed in 1584–1588 at the Ottoman court and preserved since then in Topkapı Palace in Istanbul. It contains the history of the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire and particularly that of Suleiman the Magnificent. Bound in two volumes and illustrated with 89 double-page miniatures, it is one of the most famous Ottoman manuscripts.
