Özet:

In general, verse silsile-names are texts in which the sheikhs of a sect are told in at least one couplet, in order of ratification. In our literature, this tradition has found popularity especially among Halveti poets. The subject of this study is two verse sect silsile-names in which the sheikhs of the Uşşâkî sect, which is another branch of Halvetism, are listed. These two poetic Uşşâkî silsile-names, which had been overlooked before, belong to Yemez-zâde Süleyman Rüşdî (1770-1834), one of the sheikhs of the aforementioned order in the Aydın region. The reason why these silsile-names are not known until today; This is due to the fact that the poet's diwan was published based on a single copy and other copies were not taken into account. In the two copies of Rüşdî’s Dîvân, which were found in the Ankara National Library and the Istanbul University Rare Works Library, it was understood that the poet had two more silsile-names. In Rüşdîs two odes with long aruz patterns and without redifs, a chronological list of 44 sheikhs in total, ranging from the Hz. Prophet to himself, is given. In our article, after giving information about silsile-name, Uşşâkî silsile-names and Rüşdî, the form and content of two silsile-names will be analyzed. Then, transcription of the texts from Arabic letters to Latin alphabet will be made and facsimiles will be included. It is expected that the unearthing of these two new texts will contribute to the genre literature and new studies on Rüşdî.
