The Nüzhet-i Esrâr ("Delight of secrets", short for Nüzhet-i Esrârü’l-Ahyâr der-Ahbâr-ı Sefer-i Sigetvar, "The Delight of the Secrets of the Virtuous, on the Accounts of the Szigetvár Campaign") also Sigetvarname ("History of the Szigetvár Campaign"), Topkapi Sarayí Müzesi, Hazine 1339, TSMK H.1339,[1] is an Ottoman historical chronical by Feridun Ahmed Bey, transcribed in 1568/1569 and recounting the event of the Habsburg–Ottoman war of 1565–1568, particularly the Siege of Szigetvár in 1566.[2] The miniatures are attributed to Nakkaş Osman, who accompanied Feridun Ahmed Bey in the Habsburg–Ottoman war of 1565–1568.[2] His renditions of the scenes, and particucarly his portraits of Suleiman I are considered among the most realistic and accurate.[2]

The campaign was led by Suleiman I, who died in Szigetvár on this occasion.[2] He was succeeded to the throne by his son Selim II.[2]
