- Abstract
Åsafî is a poet statesman who lived in the sixteenth century. He started his career in the state as a scribe during the reign of Sultan Murad the third, and later continued as a combatant soldier, and eventually he advanced in the rank of grand seignior. Beside his successful service in the state, he was known with his only work Şecâat-nâme masnavi. The theme of Şecâat-nâme, which is one of the important examples of gazavatname, is the Ottoman's travel to the Orient between the years 1578-1585. Şecâat-nâme, which has a considerable place among the works containing Islamic features in the Turkish war literature, is a remarkable masterpiece since it has many historical documentary and literary significance. In this study, Şecâat-nâme masnavi is examined from literary perspective, and information is given on Åsafî's life and his literary characteristics are evaluated through his work.
