@article{2019,title={PARISIAN COPY OF SALSAL-NĀME FROM OGHUZ TURKISH TEXTS},abstractNode={The Oghuzs, who founded the Ottoman Empire as well as the Great Seljuk State and the Anatolian Seljuk State, developed literary languages which are called Old Turkey Turkish, Old Oghuz Turkish or the Old Anatolian Turkish based on their own dialects since the 13th century. They gained experience by producing important literary works in Khwarazm, Maveraü’n-river and Khorasan regions as well as being widely used in these regions before it became a written language in Anatolia. Although they came to Anatolia in 11th century, there were no literary output of Oghuz’s from the 11th and 12th centuries. The existence of some works that are said to belong to the 13th century but have not survived are mentioned in various sources. The Salsal-nâme is mentioned in the sources of various researchers as “one of the first works of Oguz which is not reached today” but the Parisian copy of it which is said to be reintroduced by İbni Yusuf in 1571, shows that it has survived. The Parisian copy of the work in the National Biblioteque is 49 leaf and is completed on page 97a leaf, which has been added to a missing Hafız Divan numbered 73b in the Suppliment Turc 1207. It is stated in Aldo Galota's article in Turcica (Galotta, 1991: 179) about the Parisian copy of the National Biblioteque that the story was not reintroduced by Ibn Yusuf in 1571. At the beginning of the work in 73b, the name of the work is recorded as follows and the couplets which show that the name of Allah has been started by chanting are given below.
