Abstract

There are two known people who used Ilâhî pseudonym in the Anatolian commentary literature of the 15th century. One of them is Abdullah Ilâhî and the other is Ahmed Ilâhî. Both are commentaries and naqxi. There are many works attributed to both in the sources. The works named Rûşenî-nâme (878/1473-74) and Müşkil-güşâ (884/1479- 1480) that we have were also attributed to someone with Ilâhî pseudonym according to the library records. However, the works to be discussed in our study are not among the works of other known Ilâhî's. This suggests the existence of a different person. In our study, it was concluded that this person, whose life was not found in the sources, was probably someone who was attached to Dede Omer Rûşenî or who followed his path, by trying to reveal who he was by looking at his works. In this study, the prose parts of the two works of Ilâhî that we have are compared. Thus, we tried to determine whether both works belong to the same person. When the poetic parts of the works discussed in this study are also examined, it is seen that the similarity in the prose parts is also in these parts. As a result, with this study, we tried to reveal the existence of a third Ilâhî who lived in the 15th century and who was different from Abdullah Ilâhî and Ahmed Ilâhî, to prove that the works named Rûşenî-name and Müşkil-güşâ belong to the same author and that this author is Ilâhî.
