Danasîna Nusxeyên Destxet Ên Berhemên Feqiyê Teyran Ên Koleksîyona Alexander Jaba

Abstract

Aleksander Auguste Jaba's Kurdish manuscript collection which was prepared with the Mollah Mahmoud-i Bazidi has an important place in the history of Kurdish Studies. As it gives valuable information both on Kurds and their 19th century lives and also has saved many poems, stories, songs, epics and masnawis from being destroyed and reached them to the day. This Jaba’s collection is also important for the history of Kurdish literature because it has introduced eight classic Kurdish literary poets along with many other classic and folk literature works. Feqiyê Teyran is also named among these poets and information on his life and works is given. Moreover, in the collection itself, there are six independent copies of the works of Feqiyê Teyran beside the poems in different gildings. Two copies belong to the poem Ey av û avê, but at the end of the manuscript there is a part of Îro qewi giryê me tê poem untitled and uninterrupted. The remaining four copies are manuscripts of Sheikh Senani poetry. One of these copies is incomplete but the remaining three are complete copies. The main objective of this study is to introduce Faqiyê Teyran’s works that take part in Jaba’s collection. We hope that this work will open a way for the researchers for future studies on Feqi and make it easier for the researchers to find the works of Feqi. In this study, a short history of Jaba’s collectio has been given, followed by information about the life and works of Feqiyê Teyran. Subsequently, six independent copies of Ey Av û Avê and Sheikh Senani and two copies of Ey Av û Avê which places in different gildings are presented under a total of 27 titles.
