Fahriye and Humility in Şeyhülislâm Yahyâ Divan


It is one of the basic needs of mankind that think about himself, make evaluations, make inferences and as a result appreciate, like and criticize himself. It is usual for the poet this need, because his world of emotion is much richer and more intense than an ordinary person. It is possible to see the poets’ manifestations of these analyzes about themselves in their works. It is easier to identify these manifestations in Divan poems than other period poems. Because especially it is allowed and even encouraged by tradition to make ‘ fahriye, poets have been able to boast about themselves without hesitation.In Divan poetry, the aspect of the fahriye encouraged by the tradition is shaped by the tradition, which is related to the poet’s pencil, verse, prose and talent. Although these topics are generally mentioned in Divan poetry, it is possible to come across more personal boasting reasons. Although there are relatively few samples vice versa fahriye, the opposite of the poet’s humility is a situation that can be encountered in Divan poetry. In this study, one of the important representatives of 17th Century Divan Poetry, Şeyhülislam Yahya Divan is discussed. Fahriye and humility couplets were studied in the poet’s Divan and as a result both humility and fahriye couplets were seen in many samples. Another subject that attracts attention in these samples is that both fahriye and humility couplets form various associations of meaning, I mean they are used in specific contexts. These meaning associations are classified and evaluated with sample couplets.
