The Divan of Sheikh Ahmed Hüsami Efendi (Analysis-text)

Sheikh Ahmed Hüsami is a mystic who was connected to the Uşşakilik's Khalwatiyya arm. In the Divan of Sheikh Ahmed Hüsami Efendi, the religious approach of the religious order to which the author is attached is decisive with regard to processing of subjects and contents. In this respect, rather than literary, the didactic objectives come to the fore. The transcription of the Divan and its examination in the form of a poem from the language of Halveti Uşşaki who lived in the 18th century is presented to the use of today's researchers and readers. The thesis study contains the examination of the Divan in terms of transcription and mystical elements. In this study, the Divan of Seyh Ahmed Hüsamî Efendi was transcribed adhering to copy of Divan which is recorded in the National Library under the archive number 06 Mil Yz FB 327. Since Divan is one of the exemplary texts of the religious doctrine and approach of Halveti-Uşşaki, it is thought that this study will contribute to the academic studies on 18th century Sufi literature.
