Journals, which hold a significant place in classical Turkish literature, played a crucial role in the identification and analysis of literary texts. Although the compilers and dates of most journals are unknown, they are of great value in reflecting the literary taste of the period. Journals contain not only the works of famous poets but also poems by poets whose names are not mentioned in biography and literary histories. In this respect, they hold a significant place among the fundamental sources of Turkish literary history, along with divans and biography. Our study consists of four main parts.The first section addresses the concept of a journal and then provides general information about the place and importance of poetry journals in literary history. The second section introduces the journal under study, assessing its general and physical characteristics, content, compiler, information about the period in which it was compiled, the poetic staff, the verse forms of the poems, and the aruz patterns used. The third section presents a tabular arrangement of the poems based on MESTAP (The Project for the Systematic Classification of Journals. This seven-column table includes headings for "leaf number, poet's pseudonym, matla couplet or verse, makta couplet or verse, verse form/unit, meter, and explanations." The fourth section includes the translated texts of the poems in pages 56-126 (55b-124b) of the collection. These poems are compared with the poets' divans, and poems not found in the divans are also noted. Keywords: Classical Turkish Literature, Journal, MESTAP, Nazire Journal
