Hamza-nâme 53rd volume (Transcribed text-spelling-contextual index and functional dictionary)

It is the first work that tells the heroism of Hz Hamza, who was the uncle and milk brother of Hz Muhammad (pbuh), through mythical stories. This work, which became widespread among the Arabs after the martyrdom of Hz. Hamza, is known as Sîretü Ḥamza, Esmârü'l-Ḥamza in Arabs; Kıṣṣa-i Emîr Ḥamza, Kitâb-ı Rümûz-ı Ḥamza, Dâstân-ı Emîr Ḥamza in Iranians; Hamzanâme in Turks. The written historical development of Turkey Turkish starts from the XIIIth century in Anatolia. This period, called Old Anatolian Turkish, Old Turkish or Old Oghuz Turkish, is the written language that Oghuz Turks established and developed according to their own dialectal characteristics in the XIIIth and XVth centuries. Hamzanâme, which was first written by Hamzavî and is one of the works of the period when Old Anatolian Turkish showed the feature of being a written language, is an important source for Old Anatolian Turkish period studies. We have identified three copies of the fifty-third volume of Hamzanâme, the first of which is Hamzanâme (volume 53), Istanbul University Central Library, Department of Antiquities, no: 1110, 220 folios, 1142 (1726). Hamzanâme (53rd volume), Istanbul Fatih Millet Library, Ali Emiri Ef. Books, Nu: 104, 225 varaks, 1268 (1852). The third copy is the 53rd volume of Hamzanâme, which is registered in the Rare Works Library of Istanbul University Faculty of Literature.
