Abstract According to the existing information, at least since Homer the troubadour tradition exists in the world. At the time of Alexander the Great this tradition was widespread among the Irish, the Celts and the galls, and among the Bretons. Among the Kurds, too this art is well known and the Kurdish troubadours have produced remarkable works. Many studies have been carried out on the life and works of the Kurdish troubadours, but on the other hand the art of construction of these works and the peculiarities of the bardic art of the Kurdish troubadours have not been the subject of research. This shows that there is a lack in this area. In order to draw attention to this lack, we have discussed in this study the peculiarities of the bardic art of Kurdish troubadours, through the analysis of their works as examples. The study consists of two parts. In the first part, we discuss the bardic tradition in the world and among the Kurds. Then we quickly analyze the situation of the studies concerning the Kurdish troubadours and their bardic art. So, we have tried to see which aspects of Kurdish bardic art are more analyzed in these studies. In the second part of the work, we analyzed in particular the art of eulogy and description in Kurdish bardic works. Within this framework, themes such as tragedy, bravery, the power of the hero, the art of combat, sacrifice, generosity, honor and beauty have been analyzed. Through the analysis of these themes we have tried to demonstrate the peculiarities of the art of the Kurdish bards.
