The aim of this thesis was to examine Divan of Sabûhî, a poet from 16th century, in terms of its form and content with transcription letters and intralingual translation and to give information about the life and literary personality of the poet. In this direction, the most recent information about his life was aimed to be formed by utilizing the information given by the Tezkires and the poet himself. Accordingly, the poet whose real name is Abdullah is from Karaman and is famously known as Abdî-i Zarîf. According to the information obtained from sources, his only known work is Divan, which he created in the name of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. The literary personality of the poet was reviewed by considering his comments on his own poems. The structural and content features of Divan were evaluated in terms of its structural and content features under the subtitles of verse, rhythm, rhyme, redif, and language and expression. The content features were examined in detail under the subtitles of religious elements, historical, mythical, and mythological figures, locations, nature, social life, and the subjects treated in his poems. In the conclusion part, the deductions were presented about the life, works, literary personality of Sabûhî, and his Divan were given. The information about the copies of the writing from Medina and France used to prepare the critical text was given in the last section and it was explained how the critical text was formed from the copies. Finally, the writing was arranged and presented where the text written with Latin alphabet corresponds to the linguistic translation of the text.
