Seyit Mehmet Ali Mesnevî-yi Ma'nevî (Between 361a-400b) (Review-text-dictionary-repinter)

Mawlana is an important figure who shaped Islamic Sufi thought and brought a new perspective. Especially his Mathnawi is the reference book of many Sufi schools. Mathnawi has been analyzed and evaluated by different scholars in every period. Many commentaries have been made in order to explain Mawlana's views. These studies continue today as well. This thesis has been prepared to introduce the commentary of Seyyid Mehmed Ali's Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi, to make a transcription and dictionary study of the text between 361a-400b varaks. Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi is a manuscript commentary of Ismâîl Rusûhî-yi Ankaravî's commentary on Mathnawi, Mecmû'atu'l-Letâyif ve Matmûratu'l-Ma'ârif, which has not yet been transcribed and transcribed. In the first chapter, information about the tradition of commentary, classification of commentary texts, translations and commentaries of mathnawi, the verse form of Mathnawi, Mevlana and Mathnawi is given. Information about Seyyid Mehmed Ali's life and literary personality is compiled; Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi is introduced. The chapter focuses on the commentary method, language features and sources of Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi. In the second part of the study, the content of the text is analyzed according to the Sufi commentary tradition. In the third part, the text is transcribed and a dictionary study of the words in the text is made. Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi is compared with Mecmû'atu'l-Letâyif and Matmûratu'l-Ma'ârif and Mathnawi-yi Ma'nawi. In addition, the reasons why Sayyid Mehmed Ali preferred to write a concise work are discussed. These examinations are based on the copy of Mecmû'atu'l-Letâyif and Matmûratu'l-Ma'ârif, which was finalized in 1039/1630 AH.
