Özet:

Babur-nama begins in 899 AH, when Zahīr al-Dīn Muhammad Babur came to the throne of Fergana at the age of twelve, and ends sixteen months before Babur's death. Babur's work was written in a very honest and sincere tone of voice, covering every aspect of his life. Babur-nama is a source work that provides well-documented historical, geographical, and socio-cultural knowledge of the time, as well as political and military operations in Afghanistan and India throughout the 15th and 16th century. The work, which is rather extensive, frequently includes introductory material about the intellectual, literary, and aesthetic figures of the era. Babur-nama, which is categorised as an autobiographical work, occasionally takes on the characteristics of a biographical work in this regard. In this article, literary figures within Babur-nama are identified. The chapters concerning literary characters in Babur-nama are comparable to works that were published in Eastern Turkish, such as Mecalis al-nefayis and Mecmaʿuʾl-havas, according to material and style. The literary figures identified in Babur-nama were divided into three distinct groups: statesman-poet, military figure-poet and poet. In addition, information about literary figures addressed in Babur-nama has been translated into Turkish.
