Abstract:

According to the Turkish History of Literature, the first study of the Turks in the copyright area was carried out by Veysî in the 16th century. The works before Veysi were translations from Arabic and Farsi. Nâbî tried to complete the Dürretü't-Tâc fî-Sîreti that was left uncompleted after the death of Veysi with two postcripts, but he did not live long enough to finish the work. Nazmî-zâde Murtazâ succeeded to complete this work in  17th century and so that first Turkish copyright ouvre appeared. As Veysi and Nabi’s works were popular and valued by public, Nevi-zade Atai, Tıfli Ahmed Çelebi, Koçhisari-zade Süleyman Talib, Bosnalı Adulkerim Sami Efendi, Zehrimarzade Seyyid Mehmed Rıza and Koca Ragıp Pasha as well as Nazmizade Murtaza wrote postscripts for these works. As a result of catalog researches 13 in the country and 2 abroad 15 copies were reached. This study is important as it breaks a new ground in terms of Turkish literature and history. This work is not a translated work like the ones written before but it is a complementary and first example of “Copyright Turkish Prophetic Biography” with the works of Veysi and Nabi.   With this work, the first Copyrighted Prophetic Biography will be completed as well as the scientific world for the History of İslam will have a credible work.
