A Distinctive Hilya (Hilye-i Şerife) In Terms Of Both Design And Text

Abstract


Hilya (Hilye-i Şerîfe) denote sheets (levha), where The Prophet Muhammed (sav) is described in writing. Many threnodies, qasides, poetry, mawlid and hilya were written in order to praise beloved Prophet Muhammed (sav) and to present his humanistic and moral properties throughout history. These texts, devoted to Prophet Muhammed (sav), were written in the finest calligraphy of all: “Hüsn-i Hat”.


The first examples of Hilya sheets were most probably written during Ottoman period. The classical design, known today, was first seen in Calligrapher Hâfız Osman’s work of art. The phases undergone until the ultimate form of design, are not yet studied thoroughly. The Hilya, which is claimed to be the first, is indecisive in terms of dating process. 


Owing to the love of The Prophet Muhammed (sav), Ottoman calligraphers wrote Hilya sheets with a passion of divine service. As a result of this love, many different and unique designs were devised and written.


Varieties in the text are observed depending on different designs. Basmala, Hilya text, an Ayah related to the Prophet Muhammed (sav) and names of the four caliphs of Islam are available in the classical design of Hilya sheets.


The printed “Hilye-i Şerîfe”, examined in this study, includes fifty two selected couplets written in Ta’lik letters, from “Hilye-i Hâkânî”, apart from the classical text. “Hilye-i Hâkânî” was written by Hâkânî Mehmed Efendi and it exceeds 710 couplets originally. Consequently, a distinctive “Hilye-i Şerîfe” in terms of both design and text comes into the picture. 

In this study, the differences in the text with respect to the Hilye-i Hâkânî are discussed in the footnotes, besides from the characteristics of the “Hilye-i Şerîfe”.
