Dear Scholars,
New Publication: Nazmî-zâde’s Zeyl-i Siyer of Veysî and Nâbî, Vols. I & II
Main Languages: Ottoman Turkish and modern Turkish
Building upon the earlier efforts of Veysî and Nâbî, the Ottoman scholar Nazmî-zâde Murtazâ (fl. ca. late 17th to early 18th century AD) wrote his Zeyl-i Siyer, which is an account of the early Islamic community led by the prophet Muhammad. Nazmî-zâde's work, written in a high-register Ottoman Turkish prose supplemented with verses in Persian and Arabic, lends a window into Ottoman understanding of early Islamic history and literary means of narrating that history. Vol. I includes relevant research and critical edition (in Latin transcription) by Dr. Mehmet Büküm, and Vol. II is a colored facsimile of a manuscript.
