The influence of Ali Şir Nevai on divan literature of western of Turkish language (until the end of XVI. century)

It is as known fact for a Song time that Classical Turkish Literature or Divan Literature of XV. And XVI. Centuries of Anatolia had been in interaction with Persian and Chagatay Literatures. As it is known, within this period there were sovereignity of Timurians in Central Asia and Ottoman's sovereignity in Anatolia. In this period, to only name remembered about Central Asian Literature is Ali Şîr Nevâî. In fact, another name of this dialect, which was developed in Central Asia, was "Nevâî Language" or "Nevâî Dialect" The main purpose of this dissertation was to find out the influence of Ali Şîr Nevâî on the XV. And XVI. Centuries Turkish Literature. However, when we specialiced on this study, we saw that Ali Şîr Nevâî gets his full meaning together with his surroundings. His region was Herat of XV. Century. According to Westerners, this city was the centre of "Turkish Renaissance" of XV. Century. At the end of study, we had found that the influence of culture of Herat and Nevâî were stronger than we expected on the Ottoman culture and literature of within this period of time. The influences of Herat School and Nevâî on the Turkish art and literature of XVI. Century Anatolia have been mentioned frequently by the Tezkires of the time, by Gelibolulu Alî, the outher of Menâkıb-I Hünerverân, and by the study of Fuad Köprülü, Ali Nihad Tarlan, Mehmet Çavuşoğlu, Osman F. Sertkaya and Mustafa isen who recently paid much attention on this subject. This thesis, which was prepared to find out this reciprocal influence, consists of on Introduction and Tw© Main Parts.890 The Introduction part gives information about cultural life of Central Asia in the XV. Century, Chagatay Dialect, tie importance of Nevâî within Turkish Literature, political and culture! relations between Ottomans and Timurians. As it is found out from the sourches that there was a strong interrelation between Herat and Istanbul on art, science and literature. Herat, which was the host of Eastern-Islam culture before Istanbul, gradually transformed its inheritance to Istanbul. In the First Part, we compared the poems of Nevâî and those of Anatolian Poets and witnessed that beginning from his youth, Nevâî had been known in Anatolia. As it is detected from Tezkires, periodicals and Divans, in the last quarter of XV. Century and throughout XVI. Century, Anatolian poets had appropriated the Nevâî style and imitated his poems. Within this perid of time, Turkish poets had tried to resemble Nevâî and their target was to write similar to "Nevâî Style" Most of all, Ahmed Paşa and Fuzuli and others; Cafer çelebi, Lamiî Çelebi, Muhyî, Ibn Kemal, Muhibbî, etc. had been influenced by poets of Nevâî and they had written nazires. In the Second Part, first of all Nevâî's Tezkire called Mecâlisü'n-Nefâis on tezkires of Herat School were examined in terms of planning style, biographic content, model preference and evaluations of poem and poet. Then they were compared with XVI. Century Tezkires written in Anatolia. At the end of this comparison, it was seen that there were great similarities between Tezkires of Anatolia and Herat School. Especially about seventy percent of terminology of critique of Anatolian Tezkires had been originated from Herat. tgg,^ us*0*
