Historical comparison of the vocabulary found only in the Kastamonu copy of the work Bulgatu'l-muştak fi lugati't-turk ve'l-Kıfçak

The work titled Bulgatu'l-mustak fi lugati't-Turk ve'l-Kıfçak, which was written by Imam Cemalu'd-din ebu Muhammed Abdullah et-Turki during the Mamluk State period, approximately between the 14th and 15th centuries, was recently found and published in the War of War. The Kastamonu copy, published by Karagözlü and Musa Salan in 2022 under the title Kitābu Bulġatu'l-Muştāḳ fi Luġāti't-Turk ve'l-Ḳifçāḳ - Kastamonu Copy, constitutes the focus of the study. The copy in question contains 745 lexical units that are not found in the Paris copy, which is the first known copy of the work. In the publication of Karagözlü and Salan (2022), the vocabulary of the copy was not subjected to historical comparison. The vocabulary of the Paris copy was subjected to historical comparison partially by A. Zajączkowski (1954, 1958) and later in detail by Gülhan Al-Türk (except for Old Anatolian and Chagatai Turkic). At this point, there is a gap in the historical testimony of 749 words that are found in the Kastamonu copy but not in the Paris copy, and this thesis study aims to fill this gap. The general perspective of historical comparison is formed as Old Turkic (8th-12th century), Middle Turkic (13th-15th century, Mamluk, Khwarezm and Old Anatolian Turkish) and New Turkish (Chagatai and Ottoman Turkish), and it is based on these historical periods. A historical comparison was made by scanning published dictionaries and basic studies. Our study basically consists of three parts: The introduction section, which contains basic information about the method, scope, work and copy; The historical comparison section, which constitutes the main part of the study, and the conclusion section, which includes the findings obtained from the comparison. In addition, an index has been added to the study for ease of use.
