- Abstract
The first products of Turkish Literature developed in Anatolia are literary works originating from religion. These literary works, which are very important elements in the Turkification and Islamization of Anatolia, provided for the Turks to adopt Anatolia as homeland. In the beginning, the service that had started with translation and commentary of Koran and the sections of the Koran continued with the religious, sufistic and moral poetic works. One of the periods that these poetic works are mostly seemed is XIV. century. In this century literary works that are appealing to the religious, moral and Islamic heroism feelings of folk have been written in the form of short masnavis like Deer, Limbless Head, Pigeon, Dragon. The authors of these works are mostly unknown. In some of them, the issue that the name which appeared in the works is whether belong to the author or the narrator is ambiguous. Kirdeci Ali is one of these poets who is assummed to have lived in the XIV. century. Kirdeci Ali has the well-known three short masnavi in the history of literature, which are the Epic of Limbless Head, the Epic of Pigeon and the Epic of Dragon. Except for these, there are some epics, which are ascribed to Kirdeci Ali, like the Hikâye-i Delletü'l-muhtel and the Legend of Deer. But it is doubtful whether these epics are belong to Kirdeci Ali. This article focuses on the Kirdeci Ali's short and unknown masnavi, called as Dâstân-ı Ömer İbni Hattâb, including fifteen verses and written in the form of "fâ'ilâtün fâ'ilâtün fâ'ilün". The subject of this masnavi is the story between Omar and a Jewish person. The short mathnawi tells the apostasy of a Jewish society to the Islam by the providence of God and through the Omar's acts.
