Abstract:

Journals are one of the most important manuscripts in classical Turkish literature after divans and masnavis. Journals, which have different features in terms of poetry form, content and language features, are very important. Because these journals contain some poems of poets that are not found in their divans, poems of poets whose life is not known in classical books, and some works that do not have any manuscripts. Journals are also important in terms of reflecting the taste of the period in which they were written. Since the journals are arranged according to the personal preference of the compiler, they differ in terms of content. Journals generally contain poems written in different poetic forms and genres, but there are also journals containing poems written in the same poetic form. There are 185 poems by 25 poets in this poetry journal, which is the subject of this study, registered the number Ms. Or. Oct. 3058 in the Berlin State Library. The date of writing of this 70-page journal is unknown. Since there are poems of the 15th and 16th centuries in the journal, we guess that it was written at the end of the 16th century. This journal is important because it contains poems that are not found in the divans of famous poets. The study has been prepared both to identify these poems and to contribute to the Systematic Classification of Journals Project (MESTAP).
