Özet:

Sweden’s relations with the Turkish world have continued until today through multilateral diplomatic ties that Sweden established with the Ottoman Empire and Crimean Tatars as of the sixteenth century. These extensive contacts have led to an academic interest in Turkish languages in Sweden in the course of time. One of the centers where there is academic concern is Uppsala University, and another one is Lund University. There is a collection of manuscripts written in Uzbek Turkish, Chagatai Turkish, and Uyghur Turkish in the University of Lund which previously had a special place in Turcology studies. In the collection, most of which was bought by Turcholog Gunnar Jarring, some of which was sold, and donated to the library by Swedish missioners, or some of which was bought by the university library, there are manuscripts on Islamic subjects, legal and historical documents, medical books, books on trade and sufism, and a lot of documents in which Swedish missionary activities are told in Eastern Turkistan. Copies of the works of Ali Sir Nevai written in Uigur language in Eastern Turkistan, their contents, and how they were brought to Sweden are studied in this article.
