Yusuf ve Züleyha - يوسف و زليحا
- Scope & Content:
-
This volume contains the story of Yusuf and Züleyha, as recounted by Jāmī and paraphrased in verse by Hamdi.
Hamdullah, whose mahlas was Hamdi, was the youngest son of the celebrated Şeyh Ak Şemseddin. He lived under Bayezit II and died in 909 AH (1503-04 CE). His Yusuf ve Züleyha, among the most popular of the corpus of Ottoman Turkish mesneviler, was first dedicated to Bayezit, but the poet, seeing that it did not meet with the expected acknowledgment, subsequently suppressed the dedication. Besides the present poem, he left, according to Kınalızade and to the Şakaik, a Leyla Mecnun, a Mevlid poem entitled Mevlid-i cismani ve mevrid-i cani (or mevlid-i ruhani), and a Kiyafetname.
The date of composition of this work, 897 AH (1491-92 CE), which is not found in the present copy, is conveyed in two verses at the end of Add MS 19364. The manuscript is wanting a few single leaves, probably abstracted for the sake of illustrations.
The text contains a single unvan.
This manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century by Derviş Gidayi min fukara-yı Şeyh Ahmet İbn-i Gülşeni.
