Özet:

Yūnus Emre, one of the representatives of Turkish sufism culture, has an important place in Turkish literature in terms of the intellectual quality of his works. Risāletü’n-Nusḥiyye is one of these works. Among the Dı̇̄wāns of Yūnus Emre, which includes the Risāletü’n-Nusḥiyye; there are copies of Süleymaniye Library Fatih Department, Karaman, Yahya Efendi, Nuruosmaniye, Bursa, Austria (Vienna) and Murad Molla Library. Many studies have been carried out on the aforementioned copies. In addition to these, The Vatican copy that creates the subject of this study, whose existence is first mentioned with Vat. Turco 226 imprint information in 1953 by Ettore Rossi, also includes Risāletü’n-Nusḥiyye. The Vatican copy consists of the Risāletü’n-Nusḥiyye of 563 couplets, after the preamble of 31 couplets. The work was completed in Hijri 1038 (Gregorian January/February 1629). In the seizin record of the work, there is the name of Yūsuf bi-Ḥekı̇̄mbaşızāde and also the name of ʿAbdu’l-faḳı̇̄r es-Seyyid Muḥammed Maʿṣūm ʿAlı̇̄zāde is mentioned as a corrector. In the faint part in the middle, it is written Muḥyiddı̇̄n [es-]Seyyid ʿAbdülḳādirü’l-Geylānı̇̄. In this study, the differences and defects of the Risāletü’n-Nusḥiyye in the Vatican copy, in terms of language and spelling, were mainly compared with the Fatih copy. In cases where a word that is not in the Fatih copy or that we have studied in the Vatican copy does not have a similar equivalent in the Fatih copy, other copies were used. Where examples from other copies are given, the equivalent of the relevant couplet in the Fatih copy is also included. As a result of the investigations; It was detected that in some words and word phrases have different writing in 39 items, also in some words and word phrases have with a vowel point differently in 14 items. In 10 items, in long vowels were saved in some Arabic words, and sound changes were observed in the beginning and ultima of some words.
