Abstract

Commentaries were written for master texts of Turkish Classical Literature (including Turkish Sufi poetry) with various forms and genres such as Mathnawi and Qasida-i Burda, Arabic and Persian poetry with styles of ghazal, qasida, mathnawi and other poetic forms, lughzes, especially Diwans of Persian poets such as Hafiz, Shevket-i Bukhari, 'Orfi-i Shirazi. In addition, the problems and contested aspects of the genre of commentary especially in the 19th century and afterwards are scientifically examined. In this context, the literary work with its author's unique language and style examined in this article sheds light on the predominant actor, the commentator and his/her style by using al-Busiri's na'at titled Qasida-i Burda that was repeatedly commented and translated.
