One of them is the Vatikan Sample byepics that have been transferred up today. One of them is the Vatikan Sample byEttori Rossi and the other one the Dresden Sample by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez.Ettori Rossi and the other one the Dresden Sample by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez.Ettori Rossi and the other one the Dresden Sample by Heinrich Friedrich von Diez.Following H. O. Fleischer’s discovery of the due sample in the Dresden Royal Library, Diez was the first person doing the first detailed job in taking the sampleto the Berlin Library and translating Cyclop into German. Diez published twobooks he called folio. In the first of the books (1811) that of which consists ofabout one thousand pages each, there is a writing that can he translated as “TheBook of Oghuz” placed on page 157 of chapter IX of the book “Buch des Oghuz”.The due book consists of 49 pages, in which information is given in the first ninepages and 200 sayings placed on the remaining pages. There are two manuscriptsplaced in the second book of his that was publisched in 1815. The first of them is"Buch des Oghuz von Dede Korkut" that can be translated as “Book of the Oghuzby Dede Korkut” and is placed on pages 288-331 of chapter 7.In the same bookon pages 399-457 of chapter 14 a writing takes place “Der neuendeckteoghuzische Cyklop verglichen mit dem Homerischen” that can be translated as“The Comparison of the newly found Oghuz Cyklop with that of Homer”. There aretwo important identifications made in this work translated by us. One of them isthe identification of the era in which Dede Korkut might have lived and the otheris the fact that the Greek Cyclop was inspired by the Cyclop of the Oghuz. Incomparing the Cyclop taking place in the Greek Mythology, that is comparing theGreek Cyclop and the Cyclop of the Oghuz, this work reveals the fact that theGreek Cyclop was inspired by the Cyclop of the Oghuz and thus comes to theconclusion that it was copied from this original. From this reason the translationof the due manuscript is of utmost importance concerning our nation. This workthat has a value as a historical script is also putting forward the claim that theCyclop was born out of our own culture, that it is original and that it has to becalled our own
