Derviş 'Ali Yazıcıoğlu's work titled "Mantiku't-tayr"(Introduction-analysis-text-index)

Mantıku't-tayr is the name of the mystical work written in masnavi verse by the Iranian poet Ferîdüddin Attâr at the end of the 12th century. This work, which is very important in Iranian literature, has been very influential in the Islamic world and Turkish literature both in the period it was written and in the following periods. In Turkish literature, both verse translations of Mantıku't-tayr were made and works were written under its influence. Mantıku't-tayr, which is the subject of this study, is not a verse translation of Attâr's work into Turkish. Derviş 'Alî wrote a mystical work by describing the belief in the unity of existence like Attâr. However, Derviş 'Alî followed a different path from Attâr in terms of handling, handling, text editing and form in his work. There is no information about the date of writing in the work, which consists of 178 leaves and is entirely in verse. The information obtained from the text shows the end of the 17th century as the writing date of the work. The work, which was written in a language with predominantly Old Anatolian Turkish features during the Ottoman period, is also important in this respect. In this study, the transcribed text, language analysis and grammatical index of the work called Mantıku't-tayr, which was written by an author named Derviş 'Alî (Yazıcıoğlu) and registered with the place number Yz. A 4301, were prepared.
