TEBRİZ MİLLİ KÜTÜPHANESİNDE BULUNAN TÜRKÇE EL YAZMALARINA EK

Turkish and Persian cultures are two major neighboring civilizations that have influenced and fed each other for centuries not only in geographical sense but also in the context of exchange and coexistence of literary values. Especially after Turks' adoption of Islam, Turkish dynasties like Ghaznavids ruled ov er Iran for a long period. As a natural result of this sovereignty process, in Iran today, hundreds of manuscripts written in Turkish are available in most libraries. One of the significant libraries in Iran where Turkish manuscripts are plentiful is the Tabriz National Library. Today, there are Turkish manuscripts in the Tabriz National Library both from Ottoman geo-cultural territory which were brought to Iran in that era. These manuscripts, when they are thought in view of Turkish language, have considerable significance as they were written in Ottoman, Azeri and Cagatay. Şadi Aydın conducted cataloque study before concerning the Turkish manuscripts that are in the Tabriz National Library; yet, existence of the manuscripts which escape from notice and those which have never been published and the manuscripts demonstrating difference in terms of their names to do with their content and revelation of manuscripts without any kind of selection applied to them lay the foundations of making this research.
