SUMMARY KÂSIMZÂDE ES-SEYYİD MUHAMMED EL-BURSEVİ'S COLLECTION (DÎVÂN) WITH THE TRANSCRIBED TEXT KEYWORDS: Kâsımzâde, Dîvân (Collection), Sufism, Halwati, Dervish Order Our subject work of art is an 18th century book that belongs to the collection (divan) of Kâsımzâde es-Seyyid Muhammed el-Bursevi. The work is recorded as item no 744 in Bursa Handwritten Works Library. It is a handwritten verse in 166 pages in Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The work was not written exactly according to a specific collection scheme (divan). However, it has a fluent style. The work, which reflects the author's Sufi perspective towards life, also has verses defining the Halwati life style. Moreover, love for the twelve imams and the prophet's family is clearly expressed. We see that there are several mistakes in spelling and meter. Besides phrases in Arabic and Persian, there are also poems written in a simple, pure language. In the collection, which has the Hikemi poetry style, Sufi themes are profusely used. Besides reflecting the Halwati life style to the collection, Kâsımzâde es Seyyid Muhammed el-Bursevi wrote verses expressing that he was influenced by Yunus Emre, the great poet, when writing his poems and used a simple language due to the contemporary trend, which led us to a pleasurable and elaborate analysis. The purpose of our thesis was to introduce an original handwritten work of art, which has not been analyzed before, to the world of literature. The work was translated from the Ottoman alphabet to the Latin alphabet and a transcribed text was produced. The resultant text was evaluated in terms of language, style and content. VI
