Özet:

Nasreddin Hoca has become a universal symbol of Turkish people's wit and genius sense of humor with his humorous anecdotes. Turks took Turkish public humor along with them to the places out of Anatolia through new conquers thanks to the anecdotes of Nasreddin Hoca. Today, we can find a number of his anecdotes which have been transferred from oral tradition to written sources in a large area from Anatolia to Europe and Asia. During the spread of his anecdotes, Nasreddin Hoca's historical personality as well as the question about which of the humorous anecdotes belonged to him became disputable. As a result, it is undoubtedly impossible to give accurate information about him or come to conclusions about his total anecdotes without accurately finding out his manuscripts which have reached today as reliable sources and historical records. Based on this, a great number of studies have been carried out on finding out the manuscripts including information about Nasreddin Hoca and keeping the records of his anecdotes and their scientific publications for many years. However, it is still possible to come across the manuscripts of Nasreddin Hoca which are waiting to be brought to light at home and abroad. One of his manuscripts which has not been mentioned in the relevant literature so far is kept in Riccardiana Library of Florence, Italy numbered 204. In this article, the copy of this manuscript which we found during our research in Italian libraries will be presented in detail; the anecdotes in this copy will be compared with the scientific works on the determination of Nasreddin Hoca's anecdotes; and finally the different aspects of anecdotes in these works will be mentioned.
