Titles are one of the most significant elements that determine the hierarchical order in a society and indicate the existence of a certain legal system. Since their first establishment, Turkic states have been governed by a certain political structure and order. Certain institutions are established to perform certain duties in Turkic states and the titles used by the people representing these institutions are important in terms of reflecting their cultural background. Kocho Uyghurs had a privileged position in Turkic culture. Because they were the first of the pre-Islamic Turkic states to adopt a sedentary lifestyle. They also developed an economy based on agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts. In addition, Kocho Uyghurs were also important in terms of Turkic cultural history as they adopted various religious beliefs, such as Buddhism, Manichaeism and Christianity. Meanwhile, they also created a literature based on translation within the framework of these beliefs. The Kocho Uyghur State came under the Mongols’ rule in 1209. However, they had a special position within the Mongol Empire and the Kocho Uyghur state continued to be ruled by the Uyghur ruler Idikut. After Kublai Khan assumed power (1260), the Mongol-Yuan state made various administrative arrangements in the Kocho region. One of these arrangements was the establishment of the Local Supervision Bureau (按察司ancha si) and the appointment of Local Supervision Officers (按察使ancha shi). The Local Supervision Bureau was responsible for overseeing administrative, judicial and agricultural affairs of regions under Mongol rule. It is known that during the Mongol-Yuan dynasty, ançaşi, which were Local Supervision Offices, were also established in the Kocho region where Uyghurs lived. According to the information in the Yuan Yearbook, which is an important source on the history of the Mongols, the Local Supervision Bureau was established in Karakoço in the 15th year of Zhiyuan (1278) by order of Kublai Khan, but this institution became dysfunctional as a result of the riots in the region and was canceled in 1281. Later, the Hexi Supervisory Bureau was established in Hexi, where the Uyghur population was predominantly Uyghur, and this temporary institution was canceled in the third month of 1283, and the supervisory bureau in the Longyou district of Hexi replaced the Hexi Regional Supervisory Bureau. Uyghur civil documents, which constitute the primary material of our study, cannot be dated precisely because of the use of the Twelve Animal Turkic Calendars. However, the possible dating of these documents is estimated as the 9th-13th centuries. These documents cover various topics, such as buying and selling, lending and borrowing, lease documents, pledge documents, adoption, slave emancipation, and inheritance. These documents were obtained in the early 20th century due to research expeditions and archaeological excavations by archaeologists worldwide, such as Finnish, Russian, German, Japanese, and French. These facsimiles are available in Berlin, Leningrad, Kyoto, London, Paris, Helsinki, Beijing and Urumchi. A significant number of vocabulary studies and text editions have been conducted on Uyghur civil documents in Türkiye and abroad. The evaluation of the vocabulary of these documents, which provide crucial information on the political, economic and cultural life of the Uyghurs, by supporting them with historical, cultural and archaeological materials and interdisciplinary studies is very limited. The research of these documents, based on Chinese annals, is very important in terms of revealing information that has not yet been clarified in the Uyghurs’ political, economic, and cultural history of the. In this study, the historical development of ançaşi “auditor, inspector,” found once in Uyghur civil documents, is presented by giving information about the origin of this title and its use in the dynasties established in China. In addition, the introduction of the title of ançaşi into the Uyghur field, as well as its usage and jurisdiction areas, are revealed in this research.

In this study, the ambiguous narrative style in Safâyî’s work titled Fetihnâme-i İnebahtı ve Moton and Adlî’s work titled Manzûme-i Feth-i Şirvan ve Demirkapı are analyzed and discussed. Written in the 16th century, these fetihnames in verse have a vague narrative style compared to other fetihnames in verse, making their content challenging to understand. Safâyî obscured the subject matter of his fetihname mainly through narrative techniques and partly through ta‘kîd practices that violate eloquence. The poet states that he aims to make his narratives not easily understood by the reader, and recommends that they be read over and over again to understand them. In terms of method, he generally narrates the events in a spiral manner and jumps back and forth in time; he makes it challenging to understand the identity of some individuals by mentioning their names, nicknames or ranks in different places; and sometimes he makes his own statements ambiguous. Therefore, to understand the subject matter of the fetihname as a whole, it is necessary to determine the chain of events, the order of persons, places and chronology, establish the connection between the information given, and reflect on ambiguous expressions. Safâyî, who made the subject matter of his fetihname challenging to understand in the aforementioned ways, opened some channels for the reader to overcome this difficulty. At this point, he first partially mentions some topics, then states that he will explain them later, and then explains them in a later section. In the same case, sometimes he explains a subject or person that he mentions but does not state that he will explain in another section. The poet’s explanations and statements about this activity have traces of the commentary tradition in classical Turkish literature. Some subjects or persons that are not fully comprehensible at the beginning become more comprehensible through the aforementioned ways. Adlî’s ambiguous narrative style is mostly characterized by the lafzî ta‘kîd, partly by manevî ta‘kîd, and sometimes by the use of figurative and ambiguous expressions. The poet’s abrupt transitions between subjects and the omission of details are another factor that makes comprehensibility of the main subject challenging. The poet emphasizes the significance of muamma, ta‘miye, remiz (symbol), îmâ (suggestion), ibhâm, îhâm and applies some of them in his work. He also states that he has read some works on the commentaries on muammas and that some of his protégés are also interested in the science of muammas. All these points reveal Adlî’s interest in the ambiguous narrative style. On the other hand, the meter, rhyme, repeated voice, language and rhetorical features of the poet’s work reflect the influence of Sebk-i Hindî. It is understood that the two fetihnames in verse analyzed were written in a deliberately ambiguous narrative style. Ambiguity is not seen much in the narrative style of the other&nbsp; fetihnames in verse, and their authors did not refer to terms, such as remiz, îmâ and ibhâm, related to ambiguity in poetry. When we look at the main difference in the two poets’ practices to make their works ambiguous, we see that Safâyî uses narrative techniques to make it challenging to understand the context between the subject and the people and to obscure the main subject. Adlî, on the other hand, uses metaphorical or ambiguous expressions by using the power of rhetoric in addition to ta‘kîd practices.In the tradition of classical Turkish literature, in the century in which the aforementioned fetihnames were written or in the following centuries, lügaz and muamma were written in which a name was concealed through the veiled utterance of the word. In the same periods, in some books or poems, veiled expressions were made by using figurative language, metaphorical expression, literary arts, such as telmih (reference), tevriye (double-entendre) kinaye (innuendo) or elements, such as lügaz, muamma and ta‘miye. In addition, in the periods in which the two fetihname poets lived, the effects of the Sebk-i Hindî movement, characterized by the closeness of meaning in poetry, began to be seen. In this framework, it is seen that the ambiguous narrative style adopted by Adlî was nourished by the same tradition, while Safâyî followed a path that we could call relatively unique with the narrative techniques he applied together with the tradition. Consequently, both authors’ fetihnames are texts that require commentary due to their characteristics, and it is noteworthy in this context that Safayi commented on some of his phrases.

In the 13th century, the Turkistan lands occupied by the Mongols featured a Turkic society that was more advanced than the Mongols in both administrative and socio-cultural aspects. The Uyghurs, who had a developed state organization in the region, became integral to the state apparatus of the Mongol Empire. This integration initiated a Turkic influence on the state’s administrative structure, shaping the official correspondence tradition. Thus, the diplomatics of the Mongol Empire incorporated Uyghur-origin diplomatic terms and stylistic characteristics. The Golden Horde, established in the 13th century as the westernmost part of the Mongol Empire, continued to Turkify due to the influence of the Cumans in the region. This ongoing Turkification was also reflected in the state’s written language and its diplomatic tradition. By the 15th century, the Crimean Khanate established its diplomatic tradition as a continuation of the Golden Horde. This tradition underwent significant changes by the 16th century due to Ottoman political influence.This study aims to catalog all terms related to diplomatics found in the 404 official documents of the Crimean Khanate. It investigates how the Crimean Khanate's diplomatic tradition evolved century by century by focusing on the terminology and stylistic characteristics of the documents. The present study seeks to contribute to developing the official correspondence tradition of the Crimean Khanate through detailed document analysis.This research examined 404 official correspondences from the Crimean Khanate, covering approximately 300 years from its establishment in the 15th century to its dissolutiondecline in the 18th century. The diplomatic correspondence examined in the study was the Crimean official correspondence found in the studies of Özyetgin (1996), Sıtkı Özkul (2011) and in the Atasoy (2017) publications. The corpus of sources employed in this study encompassed a diverse array of documents from the Crimean Khanate period. It included yarlıġs (edicts), bitigs/ḫaṭṭs (official letters), taḥiyyet-nāmes (letters of allegiance), tarḫan-nāme-i yarlıġs (edicts declaring tax exemption), mülk-nāme-i yarlıġs (edicts declaring fiefdom lands) and ʿahd-nāmes/şarṭ-nāmes (peace agreements).Official documents from the Crimean Khanate period are primary sources that determine the basis of the state's official correspondence tradition. These documents are also important in terms of revealing the development of the written language used by the state. Initially, this research elucidates parts of the Crimean Khanate diplomatics with detailed examples from the texts. It also included an examination of the linguistic and stylistic characteristics of official correspondence. This study systematically cataloged the diplomatic terminology identified within the 404 documents and organizes these terms chronologically by century. This research identified 108 diplomatic terms within 404 documents examined from the official correspondences of the Crimean Khanate. Analysis reveals that nine terms appeared in documents (spanning 11 documents) from the 15th century, 30 terms were noted in documents (20 documents) from the 16th century, and 61 terms were recorded in documents (368 documents) from the 17th century. Additionally, eight terms were found in documents (5 documents) from the 18th century. The trajectory of the Crimean official correspondence tradition from the 15th to the 18th century demonstrated considerable evolution, notably in terminology and the format of document preparation. Crimean official documents of the 15th century are a continuation of the Golden Horde diplomatic tradition in terms of terminology and stylistic characteristics. In this century, in Crimean diplomatics, the term yarlıġ was used for the edicts of khans and sultans, and the term bitig was used for letters of dynasty members and dignitaries. The terms mektūb, nāme and ruḳʿa are also present in the correspondence due to the influence of Ottoman diplomatics. The letters declaring political allegiance to the Ottoman Empire during this period are called taḥiyyet-nāme.Another point that drew attention in the documents was related to “edicts declaring tax exemption” and “edicts declaring fiefdomlands.” These documents have passed from the Golden Horde diplomatics to the Crimean Khanate. In the documents, "edicts declaring tax exemption" are called altun nişānlıġ al tamġalıġ yarlıġ in the official documents of the 15th century, while in the 16th century, kök mührlüg al nişānlıġ tarḫān-nāme-i yarlıġ. “Edicts declaring fiefdomlands” are called yüzük nişānlıġ yarlıġ, al nişānlıġ kök mührlig mülk-nāme-i şer̄if, mülk-nāme-i yarlıġ and kök mührlig al nişānlıġ yarlıġ in the documents of the 16th century.&nbsp;The Ottoman diplomatic influence on terminology continued to increase in Crimean official correspondence in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the documents, fermān and noun phrases, such as fermān-ı şer̄if, yarlıġ-ı şer̄if, yarlıġ-ı şer̄if-i ḫāḳān̄i, iʿlām-ı yarlıġ-ı şer̄if-i ḫān̄i, iʿlām-ı yarlıġ-ı muḥabbet-fercām, iʿlām-ı yarlıġ-ı şer̄if-i muḥabbet, iʿlām-ı tevḳ̄i -i ref̄iʿ ḫān̄i, iʿlām-ı yarlıġ-ı bel̄iġ-i muḥabbet-encām, münhā-yı ḫān̄i were also used along with the term yarlıġ (Golden Horde origin). The term bitig (Golden Horde origin) was not used in Crimean diplomatics after the 15th century. Instead, the terms ḫaṭṭ, ḫaṭṭ-ı şer̄if, mektūb, nāme, nāme-i hümāyūn, nāme-i şer̄if, rukʿa and varaḳa were used in the documents due to Ottoman influence.

The Evolution of Diplomatic Practices in the Crimean Khanate

Melancholia is extensively studied and discussed in medicine and psychology. In clinical descriptions, melancholia is usually described as a state of "pessimism" and "low" mood characterized by profound sadness, hopelessness and loss of energy. This mental state affects both the daily functioning and the quality of life of the individual. Melancholy results from a complex interplay of psychological and biological factors and profoundly affect a person's inner world. In the literature, melancholy is often explored as a profound theme. It serves as a powerful means of expressing the inner conflicts, profound sadness and characters’ despair. Melancholic themes allow individuals to formulate existential questions and explore the meaning of life and the inevitability of death through words. In this context, melancholy functions as a description of a mood in literature and a philosophical tool that penetrates the depths of human experience. Güzide Sabri Aygün, who is considered an important figure in Turkish literature because she emphasizes the voices and feelings of women, provides impressive examples of the literary representation of melancholy in her early novels Münevver (1901) and Ölmüş Bir Kadının Evrak-ı Metrukesi (1905). In both novels, the characters’ deep emotional conflicts and unrequited love serve as literary reflections of melancholic states. This study aims to analyze the aforementioned novels using Freud’s theories of melancholy and grief and to decipher the psychological and emotional experiences of the characters. Such a theoretical framework allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of the themes of love, loss and melancholy in the novels. It provides a new and original perspective on the intersection of literature and psychology. Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory has profoundly influenced the understanding and analysis of the human inner world. In particular, concepts, such as grief and melancholy, play an important role in understanding and explaining the individual’s emotional world. Evaluating the themes addressed in Güzide Sabri’s novels within a psychoanalytical framework allows for a comprehensive analysis of the characters’ inner conflicts and emotional richness. In examining the concept of melancholy in the texts studied, the focus is on its physical and emotional dimensions. Homer's approach to the relationship between mind and body makes it possible to view melancholy not only as a mental illness but also as a condition that affects the unity of mind and body. Münevver’s tuberculosis and Fikret’s heart condition illustrate how physical illness can deepen melancholy or how melancholy can exacerbate physical illness. The physical dimension of melancholy reflects the deep distress and conflict in a person's inner world. Furthermore, the examination of the relationship between melancholy and death shows that characters, such as Münevver and Fikret long for death and contemplate suicide, due to their deep attachment to the lost object. Their suicide attempts and longing for death reflect the profound pain and conflicts of melancholy. In addition, the characters attempt to alleviate their inner turmoil through spatial and spiritual escape. However, these escapes offer no lasting solution and deepen the characters’ inner loneliness. The preconditions of melancholy, such as loss of object, ambivalence and the regression of the libido to the ego, provide clues for understanding the psychological states of Münevver, Şefik, Fikret and Nejat. The loss of objects begins with the characters internalizing the losses they value, which leads to a feeling of emptiness. This loss deeply shakes their self-perception and emotional balance. Ambivalence explains the characters' contradictory feelings towards the lost person or ideal and the inner conflicts these feelings provoke. The couples long for their lost lovers and, at the same time, avoid them, which leads to emotional turmoil. The regression of libido to the ego illustrates the processes that lead the characters to feel worthless and guilty. Münevver, Şefik, Fikret and Nejat, who feel guilty and worthless in place of the lost object or ideal, exercise deep self-criticism by directing their complex emotions towards their egos. The interplay of these three elements reveals the psychodynamic structure of melancholy.

A Psychoanalytic Analysis of Melancholy in the Early Novels of Güzide Sabri

As an alternative to the Anthropocene modelled on binarized words/images, mind/body, symbolic/semiotic, human/nonhuman categorical divides, Deniz Gezgin’s YerKuşAğı presents a post-anthropocentric universe. The subjects of the novel, marginalized for not conforming to the exclusionary ideals of the humanist discourse and denied a unique voice for being taken as a threat to the operation of modernity’s binary mode of thinking, find a way to express themselves outside the trap of modernity with their journey to nowhere, a space implied to be remaining still uncharted or uninvaded by the Anthropos. On the journey they take by plunging into salt, which acts as a kind of purification from all the dualistic teachings of the dominant humanist discourse or as a kind of therapeutization from the traumas of being exiled to a civilized (!) land of binary codes based on epistemic demarcations and sterilized from the pre-Platonic, the peripheral characters of the novel who are stigmatized due to their deviation from the idea of a linear subject favored by humanism discover who they are outside the self/ Other dialectics. One of these characters, a little girl Moy, is depicted at the very beginning of the novel as lying on a death-bed in a room surrounded by walls and as suffering from the gaze of various stuffed animals hanged on these walls as the masterworks (!) of her hunter father, Asil Derbentçi. Considered an invalid, Moy is ignored even by her family let alone being excluded from the outer society thinking her as a source of disquiet for spoiling the smooth model of perfectibility proposed by humanism for the subject. Reduced to the state of a sick body and a dysfunctional mind, thus, she is equated with a trash to be discarded for reasons of hygiene, so much so that her existence is considered as futile by her father. A bird other, wounded bird Şuri, shares the same trauma with Moy. In the same way as Moy is condemned to bed and detached from the songs of childhood innocence heard in the imaginary-like garden of nature, Şuri is separated from the melodies of nature due to its oil-coated wings. As if reacting against its mobility or free-flying in the sky by remaining ignorant of any epistemic borders or illusionary linear structures, oil deprives Moy of its freedom or freezes it in a certain structure, which can be thought, I would argue, as an attempt for turning what is considered as the unknowable for its free-flight into the knowable or silencing its agency. In addition to Moy and Şuri, Hagrin and Cice are stigmatized as the inferiors of the Human due to their ambivalence: while Hagrin stands at animal-plant-human intersection, Cice stands at deer-dog&nbsp; intersection and with their such state of inbetweenness that does not fit into either/or divide, they are overlooked or discursively murdered. Denied a voice in the dominant discourse of humanism as its child, animal, or plant others, Moy, Şuri, Hagrin, and Cice are pushed to the space of the irrational and reduced to the state of the non-existent for the threat they pose to the rationalizing or Platonizing attitudes of modernity. However, the journey they take on by being reborn to their pre-symbolic selves through delving into salt as if delving into Lethe river through which all of the memories of the past are erased enable them to make their voices heard outside the words of the Other. Blurring all the boundaries and evading all the categorical definitions assigned to them within the discourse of modernity through this journey, implied to be at life-death intersection, they metamorphose into each other. In this way, with their attempt for Becoming, the characters who are codified as the imaginary others by the anthropocentric narrative due to their difference unravel from the discourse overlooking them and make visible infinite possibilities in life. In this vein, the study that takes the unravelling of the characters on the path of nowhere and the processes of their regeneration as the portrayal of human-nature continuum or relationality, consults such theoretical concepts as Rosi Braidotti’s concept of becoming-imperceptible which is traced to posthuman theory of death and Stacy Alaimo’s concept of transcorporeality.

Nahj al-Farādīs, written by Mahmūd bin ‘Alī al-Sarayī al-Kardarī in the middle of the 14th century, before 1358, is considered one of the texts that best reflects the characteristics of the Khwarezmian Turkish period. The work was probably written in the capital of the Golden Horde, Saray, and its manuscript copies soon spread over a wide geographical area, including Anatolia and Egypt. However, the Volga region was the region where it spread the most and was most influential.Eckmann intended to publish the critical text of this significant source of the Turkish language based on the Yeni Cami copy and by comparing it with the Paris copy. However, he died before he could publish his work. Eckmann’s work was later published with some corrections by Tezcan and Zülfikar, and Ata prepared the index of the Nahj al-Farādīs based on this edition. Some scholars proposed many corrections to the transcribed text after the edition was published. This study will not repeat the suggestions for re-reading made in these studies unless necessary. The present study aims to offer suggestions for the correction of copying, reading and interpretation errors which may lead to misunderstandings of the text, ghost words or meanings, incorrect interpretations in terms of the phonetic and morphological characteristics of the period. These issues may arise due to errors in reading, misinterpretations, or mistakes made by the copyist. This study provides recommendations for re-reading (→) or re-interpreting some words and for adding meanings to some words in the index (+):aḳ- ‘to raid,’ ammā + ‘as for,’ apra → asra, arıġ + ‘exempt; holy; halal,’ arıġlıḳ + ‘exemption,’ baġır +‘stomach,’ bastur- ‘to cause to trample,’ baştın ‘from the beginning, again,’ bel-ḫōd ‘on the contrary,’ bildür- + ‘to make someone rule something,’ bol- + ‘indicative declension; copula,’ bolmasa ‘whereupon,’ büken → bögen ‘tripe,’ bütünlükin ‘surely,’ çoġla- ‘to cry out, shot; to scold,’ edeb ḳıl- ‘to chastise; to correct,’ e ͡gek ‘chin,’ er- + ‘to exist,’ erklen- ‘to be in charge,’ eye → aya ‘palm of the hand,’ eymen → im̄in ‘secure,’ ezil- ‘to be made wet,’ ḥāl + ‘time present,’ ḫoca → ḫv āca-sarāy ‘eunuch,’ illā ‘except, only,’ i ͡gen + ‘yes, of course,’ ḳabūl ḳıl- + ‘to promise to give a ley,’ ḳadersiz → ḳadrsız ‘worthless,’ ḳaḳ- ‘to knock (on the door),’ ḳanġusuz ‘insatiable (to look at),’ ḳatı → vaḳtı (vaḳtı ḫoş bol- ‘to be happy’), ḳatıl- ‘to infere,’ ḳatın- → ḳaltın-, ḳavurtlıġ → ḳavurtsıġ, ḳayġı → katıġ ‘something eaten with one's bread,’ kir- + ‘to come into someone’s presence,’ ḳonuḳluḳ ḳıl- ‘to prepare a feast,’ ḳop- → ḳuvvatını (kö ͡gül ḳuvvatı: tranquility, peace of reassurance), ḳoy- → ḳuy- ‘to pour,’ köre → kör- ‘to follow, to obey,’ körüşgülüg ‘farseeing,’ mu ͡gluġ ‘needer,’ mu ͡gsuz ‘not in need,’ mühür → mehr ‘a widows share for life of her husband’s estate,’ öçek → üçek ‘roof,’ ölügse → ölüg, örge- → ürge- ‘to dwell, tarry,’ öz → or, öz ḳur- → arḳur- ‘to encounter,’ öz andām	→ ud andām ‘genitals,’ saḳsıḳ ‘a material made by firing clay, ceramic,’ sekit- ‘to scold,’ sıltaġ → tıltaġ, taḳıl- ‘to disperse,’ tap → tın ‘halter,’ tayan- → tıyan- ‘to quiet down, take a rest, stop,’ tek ḳal- + ‘take a rest, stop,’ tėmür-tiken ‘thistle,’ tobra ‘nosebag,’ tuynaḳ → tunyaḳ, tünek ‘bedroom,’ urluḳ ‘seed,’ uza- ‘to become long drawn out,’ uzaḳ ‘long,’ vafātı bol- ‘to die,’ bir yansı bol- ‘to stay aside, to go away,’ bir yansı ḳıl- ‘to rotate in another direction,’ yauḳ ‘close,’ yėldür- ‘to be defeated,’ yırt- + ‘to savage,’ yigit → bitig, yupula- → yobula- ‘to mock, ridicule,’ yolçı ‘guide,’ yöne- → yun- ‘to perform ablution,’ yul- ‘to buy,’ zehr → zehre ‘audacity’.

Köprülüzade Esad Pasha was a statesman who lived in the last quarter of the 17th century and the first quarter of the 18th. He was the youngest son of Grand Vizier Fazıl Mustafa Pasha and a poet, writing under the pen name Hasim. Although his name is mentioned in the 18th-century biographies, very little is actually known about him. The information given in tezkireh (biographic) sources is brief and is as follows: Hasim, one of the poets of the age, is the son of Fazıl Mustafa Pasha, one of the grand viziers of the Köprülü family, and the brother of Numan Pasha. He had a good educational life. He served with the rank of vizier in several sanjaks of the Ottoman Empire and retired from his final position, choosing a solitary life. He wrote very beautiful poems and was of admirable character.There is no study other than a master’s thesis and a published book about Hasim’s only known work, his divan, which consists of three odes and 159 ghazals (Ustaömer, 2010; Zavotçu &amp; Ustaömer, 2022).A manuscript discovered in the Köprülü Library prompted further research on Hasim, enriching the existing historical and literary knowledge about him. The manuscript contains an elegy written by Esad Pasha (Hasim) for his elder brother Numan Pasha, who died in 1719.To obtain more information about the literary and historical personality of Esad Pasha,18th- century chronicles and histories were carefully examined. Among the sources that provide insights into Esad Pasha are Silahdar Mehmed Aga’s Nusretname and Vakanüvis (chronicler), Rashid Mehmed Efendi and Celebizade Asım Efendi’s Tarih-i Raşid ve Zeyli.Significant new information on Esad Pasha was uncovered through these sources. More details have been obtained about his date of birth, years of appointment, term of office, date of retirement, life, death, personality, artistry, areas of interest, and sources of influence – all of which were previously missing or ambiguous in the literature. This information will be useful in filling the gaps about his life and art in 18th-century literature history.The research begins by discussing the place and importance of the Köprülü family throughout history. It then introduces Numan Pasha, the recipient of the elegy and the most senior member of the family during the 18th century. In the section dedicated to Numan Pasha’s life and character, attention is given to the aspects of his life that inspired the elegy. In the next section Esad Pasha’s biography is presented, and then his literary persona is discussed. A deeper understanding of Esad Pasha provided valuable insights into Hasim and his poetry. Through this new perspective, his literary personality and works are evaluated in terms of meaning, form, content, language, and style.The final section of the research focuses on the elegy to his elder brother and former grand vizier Numan Pasha, who died in 1719. This elegy, which resides in the Köprülü Library, is composed of 18 parts and is an incomplete yet voluminous section of the Divan. The research provides information on the physical conditions and catalog records of the elegy. After conducting historical and literary evaluations, the elegy was presented as a critical text though the research. The elegy can be considered a valuable literary work due to its impressive emotional depth, language and stylistic features.This study has resulted in a new and updated biography of Esad Pasha by comparatively evaluating the historical information and tezkireh texts as well as the themes expressed by the poet, which are reflected in the Divan. The study also while provides new insights into Esad Pasha and his Divan, offering a comprehensive perspective on his life, personality, and art.

The Tanzimat Period emerges as an intriguing era in the Ottoman Empire concerning the nature of the relationship between literature and politics. This period is considered the milestone of modern Turkish literature and the beginning of literature breaking free from the auspices and dominance of politics. When questioning who the intellectual and literary “master” of the Tanzimat Period is, there seems to be a broad consensus around İbrahim Şinasi. Şinasi’s influence on the intellectual atmosphere of the Tanzimat Period is so significant that the literature of this era is also referred to as the “Şinasi literary school.” Şinasi, seen as the pioneer of the political literature of this period, is regarded by some Turkish literary historians as the first Turkish literary figure to break the tradition of literature being tied to the palace and the Sublime Porte. This study focuses on the nature of Şinasi’s relationship with the thirty-first Ottoman Sultan, Abdülmecid Efendi, aiming to question the truth of the role attributed to him and enhance our understanding of the structure of the relationship between literature and politics in that period. The research method was document analysis. In this context, archival documents, primary sources, research and reviews were utilized. The relations between İbrahim Şinasi and Sultan Abdülmecid began with Şinasi’s acceptance into Abdülmecid’s presence in his early twenties when he was still working as a clerk at the Tophane-i Amire Müşiriyeti. When exploring the details of these relationships, it was apparent that Şinasi composed panegyrics, devised chronograms, and even authored and composed a march influenced by these connections. In the panegyrics, chronograms, and march, the praise of Sultan Abdulmecid was at the forefront. Furthermore, it was understood that Şinasi and Abdülmecid’s interactions gave rise to Şair Evlenmesi (The Marriage of the Poet), considered the first play in modern Turkish theater because Şinasi wrote the play in question in accordance with the special request of Sultan Abdülmecid. Consequently, a significant discrepancy was observed between the role assigned to Şinasi by Turkish literary historians and the nature of Şinasi’s relationship with Sultan Abdülmecid and the works derived from this relationship. In return for the Sultan’s compliments and favors, Şinasi was seen praising and exalting Abdülmecid’s glory through his works as a literary figure and artist. This situation suggests that the role attributed to Şinasi in political and literary terms has no reality. Thus, the literature of the Tanzimat Period, like classical Ottoman literature, needs the patronage of politics. However, this conclusion does not mean that there is an absolute continuity between the literature of the Tanzimat Period and classical Ottoman literature in terms of their relations with politics. Instead, it means there is a similarity between the two literatures regarding needing the patronage of politics.&nbsp;On the other hand, it is essential to note that Şinasi’s critiques in his works against the Ottoman Sultan and statesmen were not aimed at liberating Turkish literature from political influence. Instead, they stemmed from his desire to defend Reşid Pasha, whom he politically supported the internal political conflicts among the actors of the Tanzimat Period. In other words, in the background of these criticisms, Şinasi’s preference to side with Reşid Pasha against the faction of Âli and Fuad Pasha appears to have had a decisive effect.Finally, it should be noted that judging Şinasi based on these panegyrics, chronograms, and march has been neither justified nor necessary. This is because this conclusion does not make the value of Şinasi’s personality and the works he produced a matter of debate. Instead, it makes the reality of the role attributed to Şinasi by some historians of Turkish literature, which has been summarized above, questionable and needs further research.

Most of the terms in classical Turkish poetry are not clearly defined by contemporary sources. Instead, these terms are indirectly identified and uncovered by contemporary researchers based on sentences recorded in works in the form of dīvān, mathnavī and tadhkirah. One of these terms, which appears in the texts of poetry and tadhkirahs and is considered to be in need of detailed research in terms of its definition and function, is the term ḥusniyyāt or ḥasen shiʿr. In fact, this term, especially its expression in the form of ḥusniyyāt, has previously attracted the attention of other scholars. Thus, an accurate explanation of the term has been provided in the aforementioned publications. This study aims to fill in the missing aspects of the subject based on the attention of the aforementioned publications because these publications were limited to the word ḥusniyyāt based on a limited number of examples and did not mention the singular form of the same concept, ḥasen shiʿr. This study sets out to reveal that ḥusniyyāt refers to the totality of the works that are singularly described as ḥasen shi‘r. Therefore, both terms are literary terms for the same concept, with the attestation of a possible and sufficient number of works, and the following conclusions have been reached: In the tadhkirahs, the word ḥusniyyāt is used in almost every context in which it is used to denote a specific type of poetry. On the other hand, in poems are used in a way that can be understood in one or both of its dictionary and terminological meanings. In the texts of tadhkirah and poetry in which the word ḥusniyyāt is used in its literal sense, the sense in which the word is used is not specified. However, it is clearly stated that the texts considered within the scope of elāhī (hymn), na‘ṭ (a poem in praise of prophet Muhammad), hecv (satire), hazal (fun), and foḥsheyyāt (obscene texts) are not considered ḥusniyyāt. The texts presented under the name of ḥusniyyāt in tadhkirahs and dīvāns are love poems written with a focus on the beauty of the beloved. The term ḥusniyyāt is also used in tadhkirahs and poetry examples to denote the dīvān containing love poems written with a focus on the beauty of the beloved or the relevant section containing verses of the aforementioned nature. In this respect, an appropriate dīvān, majmu'a, or chapter can be called a dīvān/majmu‘a/chapter of ḥusniyyāt. Although it is understood that no definite form limitation was made for this style based on the poems recorded as examples of ḥusniyyāt in the texts, it was determined that the ghazal form came to the forefront in terms of constituting the overwhelming majority of the attested texts.The phrases uslūb-i ḥasen, naẓm-i ḥasen, shiʿr-i ḥasen and ṭarz-i ḥasen, which have almost no examples in the tadhkirahs but are frequently found in poetry, are explicitly used in many couplets in a terminological function as the name of a special style in the sense of “praising the beautiful” or “poetry sung in praise of the beautiful,” that is, love poetry centred on beauty. It has been evaluated that it would be possible and valuable to express the compositions uslūb-i ḥasen, naẓm-i ḥasen, shiʿr-i ḥasen and ṭarz-i ḥasen, which are all used as literary terms with the same meaning, under a single name and a standard term, ḥasen shiʿr. While poets often used the singular phrase ḥasen shiʿr deliberately for the verse it was used in, tadkirah writers used the plural form ḥusniyyāt to express the totality of the same type of texts. It has been concluded that the terms ḥasen shiʿr and ḥusniyyāt are identical terms expressing the same style of poetry. While poems on the subject of beauty and love are called ḥusniyyāt and ḥasen shiʿr in classical Turkish poetry, the fact that the same type of poems is classified as “güzelleme” in Turkish folk literature is evaluated as the result of a possible adaptation and the need for an independent research on the subject is emphasized.

In this study, two poems from Giacomo Leopardi’s Canti, namely A se stesso and All’Italia, are examined within the framework established by Ayfer Altay regarding the “untranslatable characteristics of poetry.” The poems were initially introduced into the Turkish cultural and literary system through Mehmet Rauf’s work titled İtalyan Tarih-i Edebiyatı (History of Italian Literature). Mehmet Rauf translated certain excerpts from these two poems into Ottoman Turkish in 1329 [1913]. Indeed, Rauf’s work holds particular significance as the first Turkish literary piece about the history of Italian literature, further emphasizing its importance in Turkish culture. One of the most debated issues in translation studies is the translatability/intranslatability of poetry. As Ayfer Altay points out, poetry translations are generally the most contentious and intricate literary translations. In her article titled “Untranslatables in poetry translation,” Altay systematically addresses the issue of the untranslatability of poetry, providing clarity through concrete examples. She summarizes the untranslatable characteristics of poetry into six main categories: deviations, repetitions, puns, use of proper names, short and elliptical expressions, rhythm, and meter. Altay has addressed the category of “deviations” under four subcategories: “lexical deviations,” “formal syntactic deviations,” “tonal deviations,” and “semantic deviations.” She has conducted a thorough analysis of the category of “repetitions,” breaking it down into five distinct subcategories: “rhyme,” “sound repetitions,” “duplication,” “additional repetitions” and “pun.” Altay’s methodical categorization of untranslatable elements clarifies the challenges involved in translating poetry, thus making it easier to understand. Mehmet Rauf’s History of Italian Literature is a unique work in Turkish literature, as it is the first literary piece to focus on Italian literature. It serves as an essential source of information on Leopardi and his works. Mehmet Rauf’s work consists of drawing upon four diverse sources and utilizing refined language to discuss Leopardi’s life and works briefly. Additionally, he translated selected verses from the poems All’Italia and A se stesso into Ottoman Turkish. Upon examining the sources utilized by Mehmet Rauf, a notable aspect emerges when considering Alessandro Manzoni’s seminal work, The Betrothed, an eminent novel in the history of Italian literature. Mehmet Rauf’s presentation of the title not in its original Italian form, I Promessi Sposi, but rather as Fiancés, indicates an intermediate language translation, particularly from French. This choice underscores the implication that the translations were&nbsp;conducted using French as an intermediate language. The sections of the aforementioned poems translated into Ottoman Turkish are included in the study in both the Arabic-scripted text and its Latinized version. With the advent of the nineteenth century, the Turkish cultural and literary framework began to be influenced by Western culture, redirecting its orientation towards the West. With the official introduction of the Tanzimat era, Turkish cultural and literary structure overtly embraced Western influence and many works from Western languages, especially French, were incorporated into our language. Intensive translation activities from Western languages to Ottoman Turkish were observed at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. The initial 20 lines of the poem titled All’Italia by Giacomo Leopardi, one of the prominent figures in Italian literary history, and the translation of the poem titled A se stesso into Ottoman Turkish represent the first instances of Leopardi’s poems in Turkish. The first 20 verses of the lengthy poem titled All’Italia are translated into the target text entitled İtalya’ya (To Italy). On the other hand, the poem A se stesso is a short poem translated into Ottoman Turkish under the title of Kendime (To Myself). While the translation of the poem titled All’Italia lacks any specific meter, the poem A se stesso, composed in “endecasillabi” (eleven-syllable verses), is rendered into Ottoman Turkish using the pattern “fâilâtün fâilâtün fâilin (feilün)” in aruz rhythm. Both the source and target texts share a common characteristic: Due to the antiquity of the language employed in both texts, comprehending them without being transferred into contemporary Italian/Turkish through intralingual translation is challenging. In the process of transferring source texts to target texts, especially in the case of poetry, it is natural for some losses to occur, both semantically and formally. In Mehmet Rauf’s translations of Leopardi’s poetry, the inevitability of certain losses underscores the complexity of the translational process, yet this intrinsic aspect also yields valuable insights.

During the Uyghur period, the Turks translated the terms relating to Manichaeism and Buddhism into Turkish. Similarly, during the Karakhanid period, after accepting Islam, they also translated many Islamic phrases into Turkish. The core of the language, specifically the conventional techniques employed throughout the Uyghur era to generate religious terminology, constituted the main source of Turkish religious terms at that time. Various methods started with God’s names, and Turkish terms associated with concepts like worship, prayer, and the afterlife emerged. Indeed, the literature has conducted numerous studies to determine religious term vocabulary. A closer examination of this research reveals that it primarily concerns the identification of religious terminology, yet it lacks detailed insights into the processes by which these terms are created. The objective of the study is to address the existing knowledge gap in the subject by examining the techniques applied to the development of Turkish religious vocabulary through the analysis of Quran translations. Within this particular framework, in order to examine the translations of Karakhanid Turkish, an ancient dialect that influenced Eastern Turkish, as well as Uzbek Turkish, a modern dialect spoken by its current representatives, the document analyzis methodology, a qualitative research approach, was employed. The academics acknowledged TIEM 73 as the initial Quran translation, whereas Muhammed Sadk and Alaaddin Mansur authored two Quran exegesis in Uzbek Turkish. Abdullah Kök and Suat Ünlü were used as the basis for TIEM 73. We identified the surah name and verse number of the terms from the Uzbek Turkish exegesis and established them next to the samples. In these translations, we compare and discuss the formation methods for religious terminology. This reveals the methods used to establish religious terms during Eastern Turkish formation, the extent to which these methods persisted in Uzbek Turkish centuries later, and the addition of new ones. The present study does not include all of the religious phrases that have been identified in previous research. Instead, the article focuses on elucidating a select number of instances wherein these terms were formed an examining the techniques employed by the Turks to develop them. Our study reveals that both Karakhanid Turkish, a historical dialect, and Uzbek Turkish, a contemporary dialect, utilize identical processes of term derivation when forming religious phrases. The works employ ellipsis, semantic transfer, derivation, compounding, reduplication, onomatopoeia, and lexicalization methods to form religious terms. The findings of the study are presented as follows:The most frequently used term formation method in TIEM 73 and in Quran exegesis written in Uzbek Turkish is ellipsis. This method often forms elliptic structures from adjective clauses formed with participles. Upon examining the religious terminology employed through ellipsis in TIEM, it is striking that the translator uses all the suffixes that he thinks will best correspond to the word in the Quran, rather than certain suffixes, in the formation of both religious concepts and words expressing the creator. We observe that the translator primarily employs the ellipsis method in instances where the noun precedes the adjective element. We have determined that these examples primarily serve to define the attributes of God. Semantic transfer creates religious terms by attributing a religious meaning to an existing concept in the language, particularly in accordance with the least-effort principle. The widespread use of this method in work hinders terminology. The derivation method established religious terms using different suffixes. We have determined that both dialects formed religious terms with the same meaning by adding different suffixes to the same base. This demonstrates that Turkish is not only a suitable language for the formation of terms, but it also has the capacity to prevent confusion regarding terminology. The auxiliary verbs utilized in compounding might differ in both dialects. For example, boyun ber- (TIEM 73); bo’ysun-~bo’yinsun- (OT). The inability to express the term with a single word indicates that the terminology has not yet been. It is also noteworthy that religious terms formed by compounding have high semantic permeability. One could argue that the authors of these terms benefit from concretization as it helps them visualize their intended term in the reader's mind.The methods of onomatopoeia and lexicalization are rarely used in the formation of religious terms. The religious term created by lexicalization is not identified in TIEM 73, but only one example is found in exegesis in Uzbek Turkish. Methods that can be replicated with different additions to the same term are valuable in revealing the richness of the Turkish language in speech production. These methods include finding different responses to the same term, adding additional diversity, adding new meanings to already existing words in the language, and utilizing all the possibilities of the language. However, this richness also raises a significant challenge in terms of incompleteness and termination barriers. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a common dictionary of religious terms in the Turkish world.

The fact that Kutadgu Bilig has a wide vocabulary besides his literary and intellectual power that has been going on for ages has led to numerous studies that have taken the work from various points in one and a half century. In this study, we will focus on the properties of the two words commonly used in the work, which are the words ‘kılık’ and ‘kılınç’. The words kılık and kılınç, both based on the verb kıl-, are first found in Uighur texts. The word kılık rarely seenused in this period means “creation, temperament” The word kılınç is frequently used in Uighur texts and has the meaning of “work, action, deeds” in Kutadgu Bilig, it is seen that the superiority in terms of frequency changes in favor of the word kılık (kılk) in contrast to Uighur texts. At the same time, the two words have converged in terms of meaning and the fact that both words are used together from time to time, as seen in examples (1) ↔ (2) and (3) ↔ (4) below, are similar in Kutadgu Bilig III Index.: kılık “kılık, huy, gidiş, tavır” (Arat, 1979, p. 248) ve kılk “huy, gidiş, tavır” (Arat, 1979, p. 250) and kılınç “work, behavior, temperament” (Arat, 1979, p. 249). However, as can be seen in the examples (5) - (7) below, the difference between the meanings of two words cannot be felt clearly from time to time clearly. Similarly, as shown in examples (8) and (9) below, the consecutive use of both words has increased the uncertainty. In this case, it can be thought that the two words that derive from the same root was converging in terms of meaning in time and that the Karakhanid is a stage of the shift from kılınç to kılık. In this paper, approximately 450 couplets in which the words kılık and kılınç are mentioned will be examined and the usage characteristics of these words will be examined and the reasons for the selection of the word in the relevant couplet will be emphasized considering the different features and necessities such as rhyme, meter and association usage.(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;yigit erdi oglan kılınçı amul “He was a young man, of quiet demeanor, uḳuşlug biliglig hem öglüg köŋül 463 intelligent and wise of heart”(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;örüg hem silig ol ne kılkı amul “It is calm and clear and peaceful in its conduct, ḳamug teprenürke bagırsak köŋül 1852 and compassionate toward all living things”(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;ukuşnuŋ eŋ aşnu kılıkı oŋay “First, his behavior and speech are moral and könilik bile ol yorıkı yıl ay KB 1865 upright, from month to month and year and year&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;kimiŋ aslı eḍgü kılınçı oŋay “A man deeds are witness to his nobility, isiz aslıŋa kendü kılkı tanuk KB 5811 his character bespeaks a noble ancestry”(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;ürüŋ süt bile kirse eḍgü kılık “If good character enters a man with his ölüm tutmagınça enürmez yorık 881 mother’s milk, it does not depart until death takes hold”(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;tadu birle katlıp törümiş kılınç “A trait that emerges from one’s natural humor ölüm buzmagınça buzulmaz erinç 882 cannot be destroyed except with death”&nbsp;(7)&nbsp;&nbsp;karında törümiş kılınç ögretig “A virtue born in the womb dies only in the yagız yėr katında kiter ay tetig 883 grave”(8)&nbsp;&nbsp;yüzi körki kılkı kılınçı özi “Noticing that his appearance and his manner ḳamug yakşı kördi tili uz sözi 531 were agreeable, and that his tongue was skilled”(9)&nbsp;&nbsp;küḍezsü iḍim tutsu köŋlüm tüze “May god support me, may He keep my heart ne kılkım kılınçım könilik üze 5820 straight, and my deeds upright”

This study examines Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s monograph Yahya Kemal, published shortly after the poet Yahya Kemal’s death in 1958. It focuses on Tanpınar’s attempt to discuss Yahya Kemal’s personality, character, worldview, and poetic aesthetics, and to position him in the history of Turkish literature. In order to analyze the political, cultural and literary implications of Tanpınar’s work, it explores how Tanpınar approaches Yahya Kemal’s life and work, in order to show the singularity of his self-identity and poetic aesthetics in the period of transition from Ottoman Empire to the Turkish nation-state in the early twentieth century. More specifically, relying on the concept of the monograph, this article investigates Tanpınar’s evaluation of Yahya Kemal’s ideas, by comparing them with modern intellectual and philosophical debates in the history of Western European modern thought. It also considers Yahya Kemal’s poetic production in relation to world literatures, in order to show the uniqueness of his personality and literary productions in relation to other Turkish authors from both his own and the previous generation. The study contends that in directly locating Yahya Kemal at the center of the Turkish nation-building process and modern Turkish poetry, Tanpınar attempts to underline the poet’s exceptional skill in the appropriation and domestification of Western ideas and cultures, according to the needs of the modern Turkish nation, by engaging with recent intellectual and literary movements in Europe. In this way, Tanpınar transforms his monograph into a narrative that invents Yahya Kemal as the poet of the nation-building process by reconnecting the current literature of the Turkish nation through effective negotiation with classical Ottoman poetry. In examining the complex nature of this monograph, the article provides a close reading of its opening pages, in which Tanpınar describes his first encounter with Yahya Kemal when he was a college student at the University of Istanbul during the Turkish War of National Independence. Carefully analyzing the narrative techniques, vocabulary, and details used by the author in the portrayal of Yahya Kemal, the article shows how this rendering serves for Tanpınar to challenge the thematic and structural conventions of the classic monograph, generally devoted to a single author’s life and his/her work. In this first scene, the monograph successfully intertwines both the narrative techniques of autobiography and prose fiction in his portrayal of Yahya Kemal, thus creating an aesthetic enchantment, as defined Rita Felski, on the reader. This shows how even in the opening passages Tanpınar transgresses the established thematic and formal conventions of the classic monograph. The opening passage also lays the groundwork for the complex and multilayered composition and theme of Tanpınar’s monograph that simultaneously incorporates various literary genres and scholarly methods. This unusual approach greatly contributes to the layering, pluralization, and complexity of Tanpınar’s book in terms of its narration, composition, theme, and discourse, thus essentially transforming it into a network of multiple narratives and artistic genres. In addition, the article critically examines the political, literary and discursive implications of Tanpınar’s monograph. It argues that he wrote this monograph to underline the singularity of Yahya Kemal’s individual self-identity and poetic creation by locating his life and work in the context of the Turkish nation-building process between 1912 and 1922. In this regard, Tanpınar focuses especially on Yahya Kemal’s ability to engage with Europe and the Ottoman past. This helped Yahya Kemal appropriate and localize modern European intellectual and philosophical movements, and also revitalize Ottoman poetry in a new Turkish context. It also contributed to his imagination of a modern Turkish identity, based upon the premises of a united Turkish language, culture, and literature produced in Anatolia and the Balkans since the arrival of the Turks in the eleventh century. According to Tanpınar, Yahya Kemal thematically and linguistically reconnected the new Turkish literature with classical Ottoman poetry, that had been separated from one another following the rapid literary changes in the Ottoman Empire from the mid-nineteenth century. Yahya Kemal achieved this by producing poetry in the traditional Ottoman aruz meter, while using a common Turkish language by means of creative communication with classical Ottoman poetry. The article concludes that Tanpınar’s book on Yahya Kemal often challenges the thematic scope and formal conventions of the traditional monograph, while also showing how Yahya Kemal essentially renovated Turkish poetry during the nation-building period in Turkey.

The nineteenth century encompasses a period of modernization in the political, economic and cultural realms of the Ottoman Empire. The changes, which were based on traditional foundations, had a distinctive role, not only in the political structure, but also in the restructuring of the society. In this context, “femininity” and “female identity”, which were the important symbols of modernization, formed the basis of the current debates and were problematized by both men and women. After this change, women used their opportunities to “express” and “represent” the space offered by the authorship, and created a vast body of literature. In this period, the most effective role was the press. The problems and expectations of women were included in the newspapers and periodicals published during this period. Continuing its publication life between 1895 and 1908, Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete appears as a tool in which women’s voices are announced through the experiences of authorship in the changing social life of the Ottoman society. Adopting the mission of spreading the ideal of “good mother”, “good wife”, “good Muslim” woman, Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete is an important resource for the educated women writers of the period to announce their works and thoughts to other women living in Ottoman society in particular. It was seen that the periodical reached a wide range of readers with its articles and news published on various subjects ranging from education to family, home administration, raising children, from hygiene to health, from entertainment to fashion, from literature to culture and art. The literary activity in the magazine, along with other fields, continued intensively from the first issues. Women writers such as Fatma Aliye, Emine Semiye, Poet Nigar, Makbule Leman, whose names are often heard today, published their first works in this periodical. Researches about the Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete, analysis of women’s issues in general, emphasizing the importance of the press as a means of increasing the effectiveness of Ottoman women in society, II. Abdulhamid period and reforms through the reading of women’s periodicals emerged as studies. In this article, Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete will be examined in the context of the stories published. In this rich literary activity in Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete, it was found that the most published genre was story. The first works of writers such as Emine Semiye and Makbule Leman, whose names are often heard today, were the stories published in Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete. A total of 161 stories, including copyrighted and translated, were published in the journal. 102 of these stories were copyrighted and 17 were serialized, and the rest were published in a single issue. However, since these stories were not published or transferred to Latin letters, they were not included in the modern Turkish literary history. In fact, most of the texts produced by the women writers of the period, which are significant due to their guiding nature, could not take their places in the literary works, except for the ones that were published. Because they had to be translated into Latin letters and required an extensive archive work. In this context, the focus of the studies on the nineteenth-century Ottoman women’s literature in recent years is the idea of reintroducing women’s texts into the history of literature, which are not included in academic studies and literature. The first step of&nbsp;the research for this article is to turn to the primary sources in terms of reliability. Therefore, this study aims to reveal both the first works of the authors we know, and the women writers whose names are forgotten in time at the moment but who shared their writing experiences with the Ottoman readers through the periodicals. In these stories, which can be located somewhere between Tanzimat and Servet-i Fünun storytelling, the education mission comes to the forefront in parallel with the publication policy of the magazine. In the stories published in the magazine, love and marriage are among the themes frequently studied. The stories of young girls living in a mansion or a mansion at the center of the plot tell the stories of young lovers; sometimes advice is given to the families and sometimes to young people. In brief, the stories in Hanımlara Mahsus Gazete, which aimed to appeal to a wide audience during its publication period, chose a leading role for herself and opened an active writing space for women, emphasized the tendencies of women writers of the period and the differences in the fiction of literary works constructed after the Tanzimat period. İt is remarkable in terms of showing similarities.

The Turkic languages and dialects are spoken across a vast area from Pacific to the Baltic Sea, and from the Arctic Ocean to the Persian Gulf. The modern Turkic peoples descend from an ancient grouping of tribes who, through conquest, interaction and assimilation, extended its language and elements of its culture across Eurasia. In addition to the inherited items, the Turkic languages have numerous lexical items which have been copied from non-Turkic languages. There are several proverbs and many idioms in the Orkhon Inscriptions. Proverbs are also found in the Turkic literature of the periods after the Orkhon inscriptions. The Dīwān Luγāt at-Turk from the Karakhanid state contains many proverbs. One of them is birin birin miŋ bolur tama tama köl bolur “One by one becomes a thousand, drop by drop becomes a pond.” This proverb is found in Ottoman Turkish as follows: Damlaya damlaya göl olur – dušman gözü kör olur “изъ капель образуется озеро, глаза врага слѣпы – aus vielen Tropfen bildet sich der See, die Augen des Feindes sind blind.” olur kör gözi düšmen olur göl damla Damla طمله طمله كول اولور دوشمن كوزى كور اولور “Goutte à goutte le lac se remplit; peu à peu l’oeil de l’ennemi s’affaiblit / Tropfen warden zum See; auch das Auge des Feindes mit der Zeit blind.” This proverb and its related forms in modern Turkic languages are treated in the present paper. As a result of this study, it was possible to find the following points: 1. The proverb Tama tama köl bolur is found in the same or slightly different form in many of the modern Turkic languages like Turkish, Gagauz, Azerbaijani, Turkmen, Salar, Uzbek, Uyghur, Crimean Tatar, Urum, Karaim (Crimean dial.), Karachay-Balkar, Kazakh, Karakalpak, Tatar, Bashkir, Kyrgyz, Khakas, and Chuvash. 2. The proverb Tama tama köl bolur is not found in a few languages like Kumyk, Nogay, Tuvan, and Yakut. 3. Some forms are common to the languages spoken near each other. 4. Some forms are common to the languages spoken far away from each other. 5. Some forms are found only in one language. The proverb Tama tama köl bolur can be compared to the following proverbs of other languages: Per. شود دریا وانگهی گردد جمع قطره قطره Qaṭra qaṭra ǰamʿ gardad wa āngahī daryā šawad “Drops accumulate and then become a river.” Chin. 滴水成河 dīshuǐ chéng hé “Falling water drops become a river.” Rus. Капля за каплей – получается озеро; без единой капли – пустыня “Durch beständiges Tropfen entsteht ein See, ohne einen einzigen Tropfen [entsteht] eine Wüste.” Ger. Aus Tropfen wird ein großer Fluß, aus Flüssen ein See “Out of drops becomes a great river, from rivers a lake.” Mong. Дуслыг хураавал далай, Дуулсныг хураавал эрдэм “Ocean comes from collecting drops; Knowledge comes from collecting what you learn.” (Raymond 2014: 99)

It is a known fact that poets cannot be considered separately from the environment they are in, that relations are established between artists and various circles, and that this situation is reflected in art pieces. Additionally, these relationships can be seen in various tighter forms in diwan literature. On the other hand, diwan poets made evaluations and detections on the environment through their poems. However, as Harun Tolasa stated, the relationship poets establish with their environment is an arts-based relationship. Poets’ evaluations allow us to learn about the environment while the identification of environment’s praise and critiques about the poet, identification of the personal artistic traits of poets, an artist’s criticism of their era/environment and revealing the impacts of the artist on their contemporaries are important in terms of providing materials for literature history. However, evaluations on the perceptions of the environment on poetry and poets are limited to what poets see or think. Poets of the 15th century included statements of complaints and grievances, satisfaction and gratitude in artworks such as eulogies, odes, and mesnevi. In our study, departing from these statements of poets, a general description of the poetry and the poet’s environment in the 15th century is provided. Additionally, characteristics of people and types that constitute this environment, the perceptions of the environment on the poet and their poetry, the intended audience, other artists, the impact of poets on the environment, and expectations from the readers are also addressed. Admiration and appreciation of poets’ own poems, writing poems that are desired and wanted, the impact of the poem and poets are considered as an important measure in terms of their talent. Being admired, being in demand is a common desire of every artist in any period. Therefore, poets have stated similar thoughts on how the environment approached them and their poems, and their poems are in demand, admired and complemented. These evaluations emphasize the superiority of the poet and their work. Additionally, the fact that poems and poets are complimented shows that the environment understands and appreciates poetry. The impact of poems or poets on environment is also evaluated. These impacts are stated as a gain for readers, listeners, and the environment in general. Poems, according to poets’ statements, would be able to eliminate troubles in soul, cheer up readers, provide relief, make them lose themselves and even fall in love, cause tears, provide a muse, make people poets of eulogy or silence them completely, make them incapable, emit beautiful smells by adorning the universe, make them forget about other poems and poets and cause jealousy. Most of the time, poets did not hesitate to express their expectations of the environment and their readers clearly with words spoken with the purpose of warning or advise or complain. Improvement of poets and creating valuable artwork is only possible through encouragement and incentives from the environment because what causes poets to write poems is the convenience provided by power, wealth, that statesmen have, and generousity. Thus, poets expect people to listen to and even memorize their words with sincerity, to understand the&nbsp;value of words and elegance, to approach it as truth, to be able to distinguish between what s valuable and vile, to be well-informed and have taste, to be mature and humorous, to desire poetry and to put efforts in pursuing poetry. If a reader circle or respondent cannot be found, poetry will not be appreciated and as a result, the poet would regret and first lose their motivation and then their creativity and finally will löse their interest in writing poems. On the other hand, those who do not understand art, who do not appreciate beauty, who cannot distinguish the valuable from the vile, those who are enemies of poetry are ambiguous people that poets complain about. Poets took caution and avoided presenting poems to this type of people. Poets shared their opinions on the artistic environment in their pieces through various means and purposes. First, famous masters of words from Iran such as Sa‘dî, Firdevsî, Nizâmî, Selmân, Kâtibî, Kemâl-i İsfahânî and Câmî, and secondly a group including Necâtî, Şeyhî, Ahmet Paşa, Ahmedî and Cem Sultan were mentioned in poems. This way, poets expressed their admiration and appreciation and felt closer to these names and even considered them as masters by following their path and thus were influenced by them. In some examples, poets of 15th century claimed that their poems or poetry skills are superior to others and they stated they left them behind and even asserted that these famous poets are jealous of them. Or, they stated that certain poets of their time are incompetent, that they did not like them and critized them. Frequent appeal of poets to their environment and readership shows that environment is of crucial importance to them. As a result of this approach of poets, it is possible to access admiration and criticism of the environment towards poetry and poets as well as information related to this environment.

Perspectives of Diwan Poets on Social Environment (15th Century)

One of the significant personal traits of Yahya Kemal in the history of Turkish literature is his perfectionism and the fact that he did not publish any books while he was alive. Yahya Kemal, who frequently reflected upon and edited his writings , especially his poems, even continued to work on his finished works. Before he passed away at the age of 74, Yahya Kemal increased his studies on his books towards the end of his life, having been persuaded by his friends, followers and readers to publish books throughout his life. He even made three poetry books ready for publication with his friends namely Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar and Nihad Sami Banarlı. It is also well known that he even brought special papers from Europe for those books. However, it was not possible to publish the books. The Yahya Kemal Institute, which was established following his death under the Istanbul Conquest Society, signed an agreement with the legal heirs of the poet and began publishing the books one after the other. The first book, Kendi Gök Kubbemiz, was published in 1962. Those books, four of which are poetry and eight are prose, consist of poems and articles published by Yahya Kemal in magazines, newspapers or anthologies and also include his handwritten manuscripts. The authorities and employees of the Institute examined the magazines and newspapers he wrote until 1958, the year of his death, and his poems and writings were classified according to their subjects and then published in book form. However, the fact that dozens or even hundreds of magazines and newspapers were published between these years made it difficult or even impossible to form a complete list. Because Yahya Kemal, especially during the National Struggle, concentrated on prose, he published dozens of articles on history, politics, culture and literature. In fact, some of them were not published in his own name but under pseudonyms or nicknames due to the strict censorship of the occupation forces. In short, it is not possible to form a comprehensive collection even of the writings published by Yahya Kemal under his own name. In addition, the necessity of determining whether some writings belong to Yahya Kemal or not poses separate problems. Despite all the well-intentioned efforts and the use of opportunities provided by technology, and even taking into account the various collections and catalogs that have been available for access, nonetheless a comprehensive catalog of the author’s periodical publications has not yet been put together in Turkey. Some collections are also quite old and incomplete. Therefore, a complete list of the works of many poets and writers such as Yahya Kemal cannot be made. Throughout all the years that have passed, the fact that many archives, both individual and institutional, have been brought to light and opened to access has enabled many a deficiency to be eliminated. Large collections such as the Atatürk Library and Hakkı Tarık Us Library’s&nbsp;Newspaper and Magazine Catalog have been opened on-line. In addition, it is a great benefit that the archive of Taha Toros, a researcher, has been digitized and shared by Şehir University. In this way, the documents that have been entered into the Taha Toros Archive at various times and in various ways are made available to the public. 18 writings and notes of Yahya Kemal, which the reader will see in their transcribed versions in this article, have been made available from the Taha Toros Archive. Those writings, written by the poet at various times in different cities and even in different countries, are mainly about politicians, poets and writers whom he had the chance to meet. Yahya Kemal’s observations on the political characteristics of the Young Turks, whom he knew about when he was in Paris between 1903 and 1912, provide valuable data for today’s researchers studying the period in question. Some of those 18 writings include the findings and evaluations of Yahya Kemal, whose historical knowledge is extremely advanced. The historical events and personalities that the poet thinks of while passing by the Prut Plain particularly provide us with very original perspectives. Some of these writings provide vivid lines directly about Yahya Kemal’s personal development in poetry and literature. Yahya Kemal studied politics and history in Paris, but in those years he was more interested in poetry and literature than perhaps his subjects. During those 9 years, Yahya Kemal benefited from one of the largest libraries in Paris. He studied important sources of Turkish history and literature and acquired a very deep and original background. He soon shared them with the Turkish public. These articles contain important clues about Yahya Kemal’s poetic career. In addition, it is possible to observe where a young poet candidate sought poetry and how he formed his own poetry universe. In these articles, published for the first time in this study, it is revealed who Yahya Kemal reads, which art and literary circles he is part of in Paris and in which European schools of poetry and art he is interested.

Some Memoirs and Notes of Yahya Kemal Previously Unrevealed on Recent Turkish Politics and Literature

Büşra

Cahit Zarifoglu is one of the leading authors of modern Turkish literature. He wrote in many genres of literature such as poetry, short story, diary, novel and fairy tale. When we talk about Zarifoglu’s storytelling, we are generally contemplating İns, his short story book. However, aside from İns, the author has a few other stories and the short story titled “Eksik Yol” is one of these. Throughout his life, Zarifoglu observed the society in which he breathed with a special interest. He was closely interested in the modernization process of Turkey. He was aware of the twinges and dilemmas of Turkish people. Due to these reasons he managed to represent the difficulties encountered in this modernization process impressively. In this respect, it is necessary to evaluate “Eksik Yol” considering this characteristic of the author. We can learn much more about the background of this literary text by reading the diaries of the author, called Yaşamak. According to this book, the artist experienced an interesting event while he was looking for a flat for his family in Ankara in 1977. Zarifoglu felt disappointed when he saw the very small flats which made up the sixteen storey apartment blocks. Meanwhile, he determined that in modern cities, apartmentization had devastated the deeply rooted TurkishIslamic traditions. According to him there is a parallelism between being left of traditional Turkish architecture and the fragmentation of the family. Small homes located in modern apartment buildings have caused the extended family to disappear and leave the individual alone. And so he ineluctably faces psychological problems. Modernity promises a free hand to people. The modern individual believes that he can live without needing others. He feels more self-sufficient and independent than ever before. Furthermore it is very difficult to observe sincere and well-intentioned relationships in the modern city which has lost its traditional pattern. People are egoistic and self-seeking. All these factors isolate the individual increasingly. Loneliness of the individual has become an inevitable fact. Moreover these are harmful for him and cause him to become estranged from his surroundings, even to himself. In addition to all of this, the multistorey, concrete buildings which encircle cities contribute to the process of the alienation of the human being. In this type of construction which resembles modern jails, every apartment flat represents a different world. Nobody knows anything about the other residents. The basic characteristics of traditional neighborhoods like solidarity and cooperation are rarely observed in apartment life. The author wrote this short story from this point of view. “Eksik Yol” focuses on the isolation and estrangement of the modern individual caused by the modernization and urbanization process. This text realistically represents the characteristics of the modern individual who is a product of this modernity. The character in “Eksik Yol” lives alone in a ten storey apartment. He is a twenty-five year old young man who is a very silent and introverted person. He has no close friends or relatives. Moreover, he has not yet met with his neighbours - although he has lived in the same apartment for many years. He consciously doesn’t want to spend time with others because he&nbsp;has paranoid doubts about everbody. Also, he believes that the people around him might hurt him at any moment. In other words, ‘the other’ is a source of fear for him that threatens his existence and so he cannot feel safe. These feelings of fear and concerns have taken over his life. For this reason, he becomes panicked when he encounters his neighbours. In contrast, experiencing great sorrow he realised that he is alone in the vast crowded. He feels like an isolated prisoner in this apartment and he hopes to change this irritating condition. He desires to be included in the lively and colorful life outside. As a consequence, he wishes that others will notice him and start a healthy relationship. He has many original opinions about life and wants to explain all these to other people. This attitude may seem like a contradiction at the first reading. However, the human being is an interactive and social creature more than a biological creature. At every stage of history, human beings have felt the need to “socialize” and the main character of this short story needs to as well. He wants to leave his dark and isolated world. In other words, modernization and urbanization leave terrible effects on an individual’s soul. The aim of this study is to present how “Eksik “Yol” reflects all these changes.

For a manuscript to be published, the language quality must meet a standard of sufficient quality. This must be documented with a certificate by non-native English-speaking authors; a certificate is optional for native English-speaking or proficient English-language authors.  Below are some examples of editing service providers; it is expected, but not limited to this list, that the editing certificate is obtained from a professional service provider with a quality standard in editing. The editing certificate will be requested by the editors after the peer review process is completed.AJE<a href="https://www.aje.com/" target="_blank">https://www.aje.com/</a>  Best Edit &amp; Proof<a href="https://besteditproof.com/tr" target="_blank">https://besteditproof.com/tr</a>Editage<a href="https://www.editage.com/tr/editing-services/manuscript-editing.html" target="_blank">https://www.editage.com/tr/editing-services/manuscript-editing.html</a>Ejear Editing<a href="https://ejearedit.com/en/about/certificate.html" target="_blank">https://ejearedit.com/en/about/certificate.html</a>Enago<a href="https://www.enago.com.tr/" target="_blank">https://www.enago.com.tr/</a>English Go<a href="https://englishgo.net/services/english-editing/" target="_blank">https://englishgo.net/services/english-editing/</a>First Editing<a href="https://www.firstediting.com/technical-editing-services/" target="_blank">https://www.firstediting.com/technical-editing-services/</a>Kalite Akademik Tercüme<a href="https://kaliteakademik.com/en/native-speaker-editing.html" target="_blank">https://kaliteakademik.com/en/native-speaker-editing.html</a>PaperTrue<a href="https://www.papertrue.com/" target="_blank">https://www.papertrue.com/</a>Proofo<a href="https://proofo.net/" target="_blank">https://proofo.net/</a>Proof-Reading-Service<a href="https://www.proof-reading-service.com/" target="_blank">https://www.proof-reading-service.com</a>Scribbr<a href="https://www.scribbr.com/proofreading-editing/academic/" target="_blank">https://www.scribbr.com/proofreading-editing/academic/</a>Wordvice<a href="https://wordvice.com.tr/editing-journal-manuscripts/" target="_blank">https://wordvice.com.tr/editing-journal-manuscripts/</a>
