Textual Analysis of the Abdurauf Fitrat's Work “Oldest Turkic Literature Samples”

Abstract

Abduraf Fitrat, one of the great representatives of Uzbek literature, has studied almost all aspects of Turkic literature. His research on this path is reflected in several articles and works. Fitrat's "Oldest Turkic Literature Samples" and "Uzbek Literature Samples" are the first complexes in Uzbek literature. At the beginning of the 20th century, when printing and publishing began to spread, classic works were only available in several copies, not in one copy. The two complexes of Abdurauf Fitrat have emerged as the scientific application of these works. Studying the work of Mahmoud Koshgari's "Divan Lugat at-Turk" creates a lot of valuable information such as the language, literature, culture of Turkic peoples. The classification of the fragments in the "Divan" was studied by Fitrat and contemporary scientists. Such as A.Samoylovich, Steblova, Radlov, Brokellman, F.Koprulu, N.Osim. However, their research was part of a certain part of “Divan”. Fitrat created a special work dedicated to the Divan study. The "Oldest Turkic Literature Samples" is a collection dedicated to the fragment of the book "Divan Lugat at-Turk", founded in 1927. Scientist presented the fragmentary poetry fragments of “Devan”, combined with the rhythmic nature of the poem, as a monumental work. The complex consists of 3 parts, part 1 consists of quarters, part 2 binary, part 3 is a special dictionary. The article examines the composition of the "Oldest Turkic Literature Sample", the specific style of the science of the poetic fragment, the textual study of the fragments.
