MUSTAFA DARIR AND HIS IMPRESSIONS ON OUR LITERATURE AND CULTURE

I explained the short life of Darir from Erzurum who was a master of fifteenth-century writers, wrote about Turkish language, literature and culture and I introduced his books in this article. Mainly I emphasized his impressions on language, literature and culture and writers who followed him. He was the first writer who wrote the life of Prophet Muhammed in form of poems and prose. Especially he was also the first poet who portrayed the birthday and life of Prophet Muhammed. I tried to show his impression on Suleyman celebi who was the writer of famous poem about birthday and life of Prophet Muhammed. He was the first writer who brought the tradition of "selected hadith form" from Arabic literature to Turkish literature.I also explained his impressions on following writers and especially Hatiboglu who was the writer of Farah name which is a forty selected hadith collection. I focused on his worthy contributions to our language.This modest writer is a very rich source and a model for our literature and culture. He also established a bond between Anatolian Turkish and Memluk Turkish.
