Dualar ve Şerhler Kitabı (Metin-Yazı Çevrimi-Söz Yapımı-Dizin)

Abstract

Turkish literature has produced many works over the centuries. Some of these works have been studied and introduced to the scientific world, while others have not yet been studied. These untouched manuscripts, which make a great contribution to researchers, add a rich vocabulary to the Turkish language. For this reason, the introduction of these works is of great importance. One of these manuscripts, which is the subject of this thesis, is the book "Dualar ve Şerhler" (Prayers and Commentaries), which is thought to date back to the 16th century or earlier, and which contains many prayers written in Arabic and their commentaries written in old Anatolian Turkish, and consists of 159 varays. Since the author did not give a specific name to the book, it was deemed appropriate to call the book "Book of Prayers and Commentaries" due to the many prayers written in Arabic and their commentaries. The aim of the thesis is to translate some Arabic prayers and their commentaries written in Old Anatolian Turkish, to prepare an index of the words and to look at the word structure. In this respect, the study basically consists of three parts. The first part, the review section, includes word construction. The text section includes the translation of the work in question. The last part is the index. As a result of the examination made in line with the research, when the whole manuscript is examined, the date of writing coincides with the last periods of the Old Anatolian Turkish of the Turkish language. In this respect, the manuscript will provide important data to the world of science. Many archaic words found in writing reveal the importance of writing.
