Almost all the examples of tazkira genre after a certain period of classical Turkish literature continued with “zayl”, therefore it is necessary to examine this tradition to see the development of the genre. In this article, biographies of poets from the Ottoman literary culture will be evaluated by focusing on “zayl” tradition, its contribution to Ottoman literary heritage in general and as a genre in particular.
