Abstract:

Judge, one of the 18th-century historians, in his History he has written out for explaining the events occurred in 1752-1766, included poem citations sometimes in order to support and reinforce his view in his narrative, sometimes in order to influence the reader by using the power of the poetry and the musicality it evoked. In his History, Judge, who was mentioned in the collection of biographies of poems as one of the prominent names of the 18th century with his poetry and especially his history poems, included many historical poems, the majority of which belonged to him. As one of the prominent characteristics of the prose style of Judge, his frequent inclusion of history poems, which are not included in his collected poems, compared to other historians is a certainty that he distinguished his History from other historical stories in terms of contribution to literary heritage. In this article, the history poems in Hakim's History will be examined. In our study, first of all, the information will be given about Judge and chronogram. Then, 75 history poems will be examined in terms of belonging, language, shape, genre, centroid, and content. Based on these poems, although Hakim's History is a history book, it will be tried to raise awareness of its position in the discipline of literature.
