Özet:

Written by Ahmet Mithat Efendi (1844-1912) and chosen to be taught in schools by Maarif-i Umumiye Nezareti during the Tanzimat period, Hâ- ce-i Evvel is an important work often mentioned in the Turkish education and literature history. The name of the work was later adjusted to ken-dis as a title as an indicator of the didactic/ancyclopedic direction of Ahmet Mithat Efendi. The first two printings of Hâce-i Evvel were made in 1287 in the province matba in which Governor Mithat Pasha founded in Baghdad, and this date corresponds to the miladi of 1870-1871 in which Ahmet Mithat Efendi was in Baghdad. The work in the Basque is in a single book. After the return of Ahmet Mithat Efendi to Istanbul in 1871, the work was repeatedly printed, distributed and read as a curriculum that deals with contemporary science subjects in schools. In this study, which we have revealed in order to solve the lack in this matter, since there has not been a specific study/research on the previous time, the importance of education and literature in terms of history is focused on the analysis of the subject. Hâce-i Evvel's print that is based on our work is the Hicri 1287 Istanbul nishah printed in the matbaad of Ahmet Mithat Efendi who was established by himself.

Özet:

Hâce-i Evvel (The First Teacher), written by Ahmet Mithat Efendi (1844-1912) and selected as a textbook to be taught to children by the Ministry of Education during the Ottoman Empire’s Tanzimat period, is a leading work whose name is frequent- ly mentioned in the history of Turkish education and literature. The title of the work was given to Ahmet Mithat Efendi as a title as an indicator of his didactic / encyclopedic aspect. The first two editions of the Hâce-i Evvel were made in the Province Printing House established by the Governor Mithat Pasha in Baghdad in 1870-1871 when Ahmet Mithat Efendi was there. The Baghdad edition of the work is in the form of a single book and it is extremely insufficient in terms of book quality. After Ahmet Mithat Efendi’s return to Istanbul in 1871, the work was published and distributed in eight parts with many repetitions and was used as a basic textbook on contemporary science subjects in schools. So far, there has not been an independent study / research on Hâce-i Evvel. In this study, which we have put forward in order compensate the deficiency in this matter, content analysis of the work is done and its importance in terms of education and literature history is emphasized. The edition of Hâce-i Evvel that we deal with in our study is the Istan- bul copy of Hijri dated 1287 (Gregorian dated 1870-1871), printed in the printing house established by Ahmet Mithat Efendi.
