Özet:

Sultan II. Mustafa, who was enthroned in the Ottoman Empire, which was in the period of stagnation, could not change this situation despite all his efforts and even took it backwards. During his reign, Sultan II. Mustafa made three great expeditions to Austria at the head of the army. Although he was victorious in two of these expeditions, he could not prevent the Ottoman Empire from entering the period of decline. Mustafa Nedim, who has no information about his life in biographical sources, also participated in the I. Austrian Expedition organized by Sultan Mustafa as a secret clerk. Mustafa Nedim, who wrote this expedition concisely in verse from the beginning to the end, created the work called Zafer-nâme. The only identified copy of the work, which started with the title "Zafer-nâme-i Gazi Sultan Mustafa Hân bin Ebu Feth-i Sânî Gâzî Sultan Mehemmed Hân-ı Râbiʽ", is registered at the Nation Library Ali Emiri Manzum number 1343. In this study, the work that has not been studied until now has been introduced. One of the remarkable features of Zafer-name is that the names of all the ranges where the army passed and stayed on the way to and from the expedition were written. The current names and locations of these ranges are determined and indicated in the footnotes. In the introduction part of our study, the events of the Sultan II. Mustafa period are briefly mentioned. Then, introductory general information about Zafer-name is given. After that, the information obtained from Zafer-nâme about the author of the work was shared, and the reason for writing the work and the date of its writing were given. Afterwards, the work was evaluated in terms of form and content. Finally, the study was concluded by giving the transcriptioned text of the work.
