The period covering the 15th-16th centuries is one of the important stages in the history of Azerbaijan literature. In this century, while we witness the growth of social-philosophical and religious-tasawwuf (Sufi, mystic) views in Azerbaijan, as well as the development of the literature in mother tongue, still the influence of Gazi Burhanaddin and Imadaddin Nasimi’s creative traditions of on the art of word. Before Muhammad Fuzuli, the genius poet, stepped on the arena of Azerbaijan poetry in the 16th century, artists like Hagigi, Badr Shirvani, Habibi, Khalili, Hamidi, Shah Gasim Anvar, Gulshani, Hidayat and Kishvari had been creating in the art scene. They had created rich word-pearls in mother tongue, also in Arabic and Persian language. In its turn, this necessitated to investigate their literary heritage. In the Period of the Soviet regime Hamid Arasli, Akram Jafar, Jahangir Gahramanov, Rustam Aliyev, Azada Rustamova, and little later Rafael Huseynov, Imamverdi Hamidov, Aida Gasimova, Saadat Shikhiyeva, Nasib Goyushov, Lalazar Alizadeh, and other researchers undersigned very important works in the direction of studying our spiritual heritage. After regaining liberty in 1991 a favourable condition was established in our Republic for comprehensive analysis of historical, cultural and literary heritage and some works have started to be done in the direction of researching hundreds and thousands of manuscripts, which had been kept behind the closed doors and were waiting for the researchers and for those, who will turn over the pages of those manuscripts and reveal the secrets they preserved. The numbers of research works on Medieval Period of Azerbaijan literature have increased. “The 17th Century Azerbaijan Lyrics in Mother Tongue” by Karimov Pasha Ali1, “The Poetics of the Azerbaijan Literature Written in Mother Tongue (the 13-14th centuries)” by Babayev Yagub 1 Karimov, P. A. The 17th Century Azerbaijani Lyrics Written in Mother Tongue: / Dissertation abstract of the Doctor of Science in Philology. / – Baku: 2012, – 47 p. 3 Maharram”2, “The World of Art and Sensitivity of Fuzuli” by Goyuşov Nasib Jumshud 3, “Philological Analysis of “Divan” of Mirza Muslum Gudsi’s” by Ahmadov Shamsi Panah4, “Allegory in Classic Works of Azerbaijan Literature (the 12-16th centuries)” by Alizada Lalazar Ikram5 and other defended research works continue the efforts taken in this direction, however there is still a need to carry out research on the manuscripts of the classic literature. There are a considerable amount of unattended manuscripts that increases the necessity of studies in this area. Although researches have increased on works written in Azerbaijani Turkish language these days, we may observe our heritage that written in Arabic and Persian languages, has been little kept in a shadow. The copies of the works of literature, history, culture and science that preserved in the manuscript and book funds of the World and Azerbaijan, should be found and informed about and should be involved in research. The equal opportunity for research should be provided and promoted, in spite of the language of those manuscripts. In addition, measures should be taken for the translation our literature into Azerbaijani, which had written in foreign languages, also for publishing and popularizing of them. In addition, it is relevant and necessary that the manuscripts, which have been studied and printed to date, should be reviewed from modern scientific-critical viewpoint and presented compatible to our national spirit. From this perspective, the work “Idea-Thematic and Artistic- Stylistic Features of Nematullah Kishvari’s Persian “Divan”” is specifically relevant in several ways: 2 Babayev, Y. M.

Allegory in Classic Works of Azerbaijan Literature (the 12-16th centuries): / Dissertation abstract of the Doctor of Science in Philology./ – Bakı, 2017, – 51 p. 4 In this research work, Nematullah Kishvari Dilmagani’s creative work in Persian language has been brought to investigation for the first time in the background of learning our literary heritage from the manuscripts. The research was carried out directly on two manuscript copies of the Persian “Divan”. The information about the tendencies and literary environment of poet’s epoch was given in the flow of analysis of the his works. The research covers the ambience of Azerbaijan, the Ottoman and the Chagatai literatures of the 15-16th centuries. The first information about Nematullah Kishvari was presented in “Tazkire-yi Sami”6 of Sam Mirza. The poet’s “Divan” in Azerbaijani Turkish language was involved to research by many scholars. In the modern history of literature, the first information about him was given in the book “The History of Azerbaijan Literature” by Ismayil Hikmat in 1928.7 Mahammadali Tarbiyat in “Daneshmandani – Azerbaijan” (the first information about the manuscript copy of the “Divan”, which includes Persian poems, also, was given in this work) 8, Hamid Arasli in his article “Kishvari as one of the Predecessors of Fuzuli” in 1946 9, Panahi Makulu in “In the Table of Literary Information” in 1960 10, and Jahangir Gahramanov in 1976 gave the description of the manuscript copy of the Kishvari’s Turkish “Divan” which is preserved in Baku.11 According to Mahammadali Huseyni, in 1977 information about this manuscript was given in the catalogue of manuscripts of the Library of صفوی، سام. م. تحفۀ سامی.– تهران: ارمغان.– ١٣١۴ص 6 7 Hikmat, I.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.

  • A History of Ottoman Poetry
    151 equal we must come down to modern times when the al- tered state of social matters renders it comparatively so much more easy for a Turkish woman to develop and express what intellectual gifts she may possess. The article on Fitnet Khanim in Fati'n Efendi's Tezkire is as usual of the slightest, and later writers such as Zihni Efendi the author of 'Famous Women', and Ahmed Mukh- tcir Efendi, who has compiled a little book entitled 'Our Poetesses,' have been able to add but little to his meagre details. This poetess, whose personal name was Zubeyde, belonged to a talented and distinguished family, her father, Mehemmed Es^ad Efendi, being Sheykh-ul-Islam under Mah- mud I, and her brother, Mehemmed Sherif Efendi, holding the same high office under '^Abd-ul-Hamid I. The father is said to have been skilled in music, an extraordinary accom- pHshmcnt in a member of the 'ulcma, while both he and his son were gifted, though in far less measure than his daughter, with poetic talent. Fitnet was unfortunate in her marriage, her husband, Dervish Efendi, who became a Qadi- ^Askcr of Rumelia under Seli'm III, being a man without ability and utterly unwortiiy of iiis brilliant wife. When it is added that I'itnct died in the year i 194 (1780), all that is known concerning her life-story has been told.

  • The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: a Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran
    The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Professor Muhammad Siddiq Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2013 Abstract The Poetics of Commitment in Modern Persian: A Case of Three Revolutionary Poets in Iran by Samad Josef Alavi Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Shahwali Ahmadi, Chair Modern Persian literary histories generally characterize the decades leading up to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a single episode of accumulating political anxieties in Persian poetics, as in other areas of cultural production. According to the dominant literary-historical narrative, calls for “committed poetry” (she‘r-e mota‘ahhed) grew louder over the course of the radical 1970s, crescendoed with the monarch’s ouster, and then faded shortly thereafter as the consolidation of the Islamic Republic shattered any hopes among the once-influential Iranian Left for a secular, socio-economically equitable political order. Such a narrative has proven useful for locating general trends in poetic discourses of the last five decades, but it does not account for the complex and often divergent ways in which poets and critics have reconciled their political and aesthetic commitments. This dissertation begins with the historical assumption that in Iran a question of how poetry must serve society and vice versa did in fact acquire a heightened sense of urgency sometime during the ideologically-charged years surrounding the revolution.

The Seljuks of Anatolia: An Epigraphic Study Abstract This is a study of the monumental epigraphy of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate, also known as the Sultanate of Rum, which emerged in Anatolia following the Great Seljuk victory in Manzikert against the Byzantine Empire in the year 1071.It was heavily weakened in the Battle of Köse Dağ in 1243 against the Mongols but lasted until the end of the thirteenth century. The history of this sultanate which survived many wars, the Crusades and the Mongol invasion is analyzed through their epigraphy with regard to the influence of political and cultural shifts. The identity of the sultanate and its sultans is examined with the use of their titles in their monumental inscriptions with an emphasis on the use of the language and vocabulary, and with the purpose of assessing their strength during different periods of their realm.

  • The Poetics of Persian Music
    The Poetics of Persian Music: The Intimate Correlation between Prosody and Persian Classical Music by Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie B.A., The University of Toronto, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Farzad Amoozegar-Fassie, 2010 Abstract Throughout most historical narratives and descriptions of Persian arts, poetry has had a profound influence on the development and preservation of Persian classical music, in particularly after the emergence of Islam in Iran. A Persian poetic structure consists of two parts: the form (its fundamental rhythmic structure, or prosody) and the content (the message that a poem conveys to its audience, or theme). As the practice of using rhythmic cycles—once prominent in Iran— deteriorated, prosody took its place as the source of rhythmic organization and inspiration. The recognition and reliance on poetry was especially evident amongst Iranian musicians, who by the time of Islamic rule had been banished from the public sphere due to the sinful socio-religious outlook placed on music. As the musicians’ dependency on prosody steadily grew stronger, poetry became the preserver, and, to a great extent, the foundation of Persian music’s oral tradition. While poetry has always been a significant part of any performance of Iranian classical music, little attention has been paid to the vitality of Persian/Arabic prosody as its main rhythmic basis. Poetic prosody is the rhythmic foundation of the Persian repertoire the radif, and as such it makes possible the development, memorization, expansion, and creation of the complex rhythmic and melodic compositions during the art of improvisation.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract In this thesis I focus on the late 19th century Azerbaijani history from the perspective of intellectual history. I mainly talk about the Enlightenment Movement with an emphasize on the intellectual debates on Religion and Secularism. Intellectual influences of the newly emerged intelligentsia with a special focus on cultural and intellectual life in Baku is also one of the main focal points of the presented work. My main argument in the thesis is that, without cultural and intellectual revival of late 19th century, which became possible with Baku oil boom, establishing the first Democratic Republic in Muslim world in 1918 wouldn’t be possible. I start with Baku Oil Boom of 1870s and continue with the establishment of the first Azerbaijani newspaper, “Akinchi” and then after examining the main intellectual debates, I conclude the thesis with the two most influential Azerbaijani intellectuals of the late 19th century.
