Kadı Burhaneddin
(1,022 words)
Kadı Burhaneddin (Qāḍī Burhān al-Dīn) (745–c.800/1345–98) was an eminent eighth/fourteenth-century Anatolian ruler, poet, and author. “Burhaneddin” is an epithet meaning “the proof of the correct ritual practice,” and the title
kadı (
qāḍī, judge) refers to his early profession. His original name was Ahmed (Aḥmed). Of Oghuz Turkic descent, Burhaneddin was born on 3 Ramazan (Ramaḍān) 745/8 January 1345 into a family of judges in the Anatolian town of Kayseri.

Nǝsimi, İmadǝddin
(1,168 words)
İmadǝddin Nǝsimi (ʿİmādǝddīn Nǝsīmī d. c.821/1418–9) is considered to be the true founder of Azerbaijani (Turkic) classical
ǝruz (ʿarūḍ) poetry; he wrote in Persian, Oghuz Turkic, and occasionally Arabic. According to some sources, including Sibṭ Ibn al-ʿAjamī (d. 818/1415), Nǝsimi’s given name was ʿAlī. The etymology of Nǝsimi, his most frequently used
makhlaṣ (pen name), is contested, but most convincingly explained as an echo of Naʿīmī, the pen name of Faḍlallāh Astarābādī (d. 796/1394). Less often, Nǝsimi also used the
makhlaṣ Ḥüseynī. Frequently, the
laqab (epithet) İmadǝd…

Qaṣīda (qəsidə) in Azerbaijani literature
(722 words)
The characteristics of the
qəsidə
(kaside)
in Azerbaijani literature resemble those of the Ottoman
kaside (qaṣīde), and therefore also of their Persian and Arabic counterparts. On the formal side, the Azerbaijani
qəsidə is guided by a set of rules similar to those used in these languages. Yet, some terminological particularities exist. For instance, the main section of the Azerbaijani
qəsidə, which contains the actual praise, is called
qǝsd. The strongest direct influence on the Azerbaijani
qəsidə came from the Persian
qaṣīda. However, many Azerbaijani poets are credited wi…

Elegy in Turkic literature
(1,468 words)
The
elegy, a poem or song bemoaning and commemorating a dead person, is generally considered to be a widespread genre of traditional
Turkic (including Ottoman and Turkish)
literature. Among the Turkic peoples, elegies may very broadly be divided into folkloristic and more literary subgenres. As for poetic form, generalizations are difficult due to the long history of the genre and the wide and culturally non-homogeneous geographical area concerned. Quite naturally given the subject, most Turkic elegies are longer than a stanza and comparable in average length to the
ghazal (traditi…
