The Suleymaniye Library? there are no sources except few articles concerning
the Poems Ornamentation and they samples find out in the Suleymaniye Library,
therefore this work is aiming to do a little contribution to this subject.
Together with the Poems of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, Kuran and books
explaining and interpreting Islamism, for the first time literature book is
gilded in this kind of monumental manner, magnificently, glamorous style.
Among the Poems found in Suleymaniye Library, in this study specified in a
chronological way, and taken into the evaluation in the catalogue section,
containing from each century samples, is tried to come towards the aimed
results.
Starting from the first gilded Poem in the period of Selcuk?s State and
Anatolian Principalities, trough following a systematical program is seen
that changes are noticed in every books section pages ornamentation of the
Poem applied in paraphrases, starter, headgear, title, epilogs in an
accordance to the periods characteristics. In the Poems that are issued with
purpose to be presented for showing off purposes rather than to be read, more
richer ornamentations are seen, the Poems that are issued for reading
purpose, they ornaments are rather simple ones and can be thought that these
Poems are issued for the Mesnevians (Poets).
In first sample writings writing area was established with four columns,
later on samples can be found with texts that two and three columns were
added. After the investigations is find out another characteristics that is
the Kuran rose ornamentation as a tradition in the Kuran ornamentations, this
is applied in the most oldest Poem. This is so especially in the works of
Mevlana and his son, like a special application arrangements in Anatolia.
This specification ornamentation of Poems is given up in the latest works.
After the investigation of many Poems is find out that there can not be seen
usage of this specific ornament. Although sometimes were seen in the starter
pages in between the test and in the upper parts, sometimes in different
stopping places as well.
