Abstract

The translation of Kitabu't-ta'bir belongs to Ahmed-i Dai, who was one of the authors of Old Anatolian Turkish Period. The work has not been published. This work, also known as Tabir-name-i Turki, is about dream interpretations, and it is originally Arabic. Ebu Bekr bin Abdullah El-Vasiti is mentioned as the author of the original Arabic work. The work was translated from Arabic to Persian. The translation of Kitabu't-ta'bir was translated from Persian to Turkish by Ahmed-i Dai on behalf of II. Yakub Germiyan Bey. This work which includes a eulogy written for II. Yakub the Sultan Germiyan Bey is an important source in that it displays morphological and phonological features of Old Anatolian Turkish Period and it includes words from various areas in terms of content due to its quality of explaining objects seen in dreams increases its importance. With this study, we aim to introduce the work in detail.
