Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmet KARTAL |

Alî Þîr Nevâî is one of the greatest poets of not only
Cagatay literature but also of all fields of Turkish literature.
Nevai wrote many verse and prose works, proving that Turkish
was superior to Persian from many perspectives in a period
when Persian literature was in its apex through the works
of Molla Cami. However, he composed a Divan of Persian
verses he wrote upon the demand of his friends Molla Cami
and Hüseyin Baykara. In this study those Persian verses
will be dealt with. |
