SEĞİR-NĀME -A COPY IN RICCARDIANA LIBRARY, FLORENCE-
Abstract
Within the course of time, a broad ring of literary
genre of fortune-telling type has been formed around the futurology having
developed within the scope of human beings’ beliefs, considerations and
curiosities. One of these types is that of seğirname including interpretations
developed based on slightly wiggling, moving and shaking of muscles in some
organs of human body.
It is observed that seğirnâmes, whose past dates back to the first written texts of Turks, provide important psychological, sociological and folkloric data about Turkish people’s beliefs, value judgments and behavior patterns. With this characteristic of theirs, seğirnâmes are a significant resource for both old Turkish literature and Turkish folklore studies.
Starting from this thought, it has
been long known by those concerned that considerable scientific studies were
made in relation to the determination of seğirnâme copies. However, at the
point which we have reached today, it is certain that there are seğirnâme
manuscripts still waiting to be brought to light both in Turkey and abroad. One
of the seğirnâme copies, whose names have not been mentioned in the related
literature until today, is recorded in 201 in Riccardiana Library, Florence, Italy.
In this article, the mentioned copy which we reached during our investigations
for manuscripts in the libraries in Italy will be introduced and its text will
be included with the aim of making a contribution to comparative studies on seğirnâme
type of works.
