Abstract:
Entering the process of fundamental social change following the acceptance ofIslam as religion, Turkish society reflected the effects of this change to all aspects ofsocial life. This Islamic effect, being reflected into the Turkish literature in the courseof time, laid the ground for a new type of literature to come into existence, and alongwith this process gazavatname came into the scene as a new type.Gazavatname type of literary works have an important place among the Turkishwar literature products with Islamic quality. Besides their including a lot ofinformation belonging to different disciplines, these types of works, each of which is acultural treasure with their literary importance, fill an important gap in our culturalhistory. To be considered within this frame, one of the important gazavatnameexamples of our literature is Secaatname of Asafi's. Secaatname, treating of Ottomaneastern campaigns between 1578-1585 during the period of Sultan Murad HI, andcomposed of 6982 couplets, is a work penned using masnawi verse form. Dealing withSecaatname, not having been evaluated from a literary point of view yet until today, inthis context will definitely contribute to the studies on old Turkish literature.Considering this, with this work that we took under investigation, it was aimed toevaluate the life and literary figure of its author, examine the work from a literarypoint of view, and reveal its text in all its originality under the light of two handwrittencopies now available.In the wake of our examinations; Secaatname was penned by a poet who wascognizant of poetry and science and had lived personally the events that he treated of.Asafi, in accordance with the literary identity he exhibited in his work, makes a pointwith his simple and fluent language, mastery over prosody, skill at using discourse artsand harmony possibilities of Turkish language, and dominating style.
