Four different Kelile and Dimne copies of the Mamluk period the composition order of the pictures and the artistic productions

In general, in the content of the thesis, the history of the miniature was discussed until the Mamluk period and the illustrated manuscripts belonging to this period were determined. The Turkish painting art of the Mamluk period has not been discussed much within the scope of the research. For this reason, this study is important in terms of contributing to the elimination of the mentioned deficiency, since our knowledge about the Turkish painting art after the Great Seljuk is limited. "Risalet al-Davet el Tibba (made around 1273), with miniatures known during the Mamluk period, Makamat (Vienna National Library A.F.9; Oxford, Bodleian Library (Marsh 458), British Museum (Add, 21.114), London-British Museum (Or.9718) ); Kelile and Dimne (Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, Paris, National Library (Arab 3467), Oxford, Bodleian Library (Pocock 400), Munich (Arab 616); Kitab al-Hayvan (Milan, Biblioteka Ambrosiana Ar.

It is limited to the four illustrated Kelile and Dimne "Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, Paris, National Library (Arab 3467), Oxford, Bodlean Library (Pocock 400), Münich (Arab 616)" copies belonging to the Mamluk period. The work of Kelile and Dimne, written by Beydaba and translated into many languages, is a type of fable, and many different subjects such as politics, virtue and education are discussed and illustrated as the main theme in his stories. There are a total of 320 themed miniatures in four copies. In this way, the paintings in each copy of the four different Keliles and Dimnas belonging to the Mamluk period were analyzed separately, evaluated in terms of compositional order, and compared.
