Özet:

Fazilet-nâmes, which appear in Turkish-Islamic literature with their wide writing area and many examples, are generally works that describe the virtues of cities. These works contain legends about cities that are important for Islamic civilization. Hayru'l-Buldan Tractate (Osh Tractate), which is one of the examples of such works written in Chagatai, also describes the virtues of the city of Osh, which is located in the southwest of Kyrgyzstan and is the second largest city in the country today. In addition to being an ancient civilization center, Osh is also geographically important because it is a transition point between East Turkestan and West Turkistan and the Fergana Valley is the starting point in the east. Hayru'l-Buldan (Osh) Tractate, which is a work belonging to the Chagatai period, has 26 sheets and 6 lines on each page. The work is 12.5x7.5 cm in diameter. The author of the work is Molla Omer (Omar) Uzak, however, there is no information in the text about when it was written. In our study, the translation of the work was made and the work was examined in terms of sound and form. Thus the language features in the work have been tried to be revealed, and some language features that will shed light on the Turkish dialects have been especially emphasized. When the text is examined in terms of content, it is clear that there are narrations from many prophets in order to emphasize the religious importance of Osh, and even there are narrations about the city as hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad. With this study, the manuscript has been presented to the benefit of all researchers who work/will work on Turkish language and history, primarily those who work on Chagatai.
