Özet:

 Mīr Sayyid Sharīf al-Jurjānī was a well-known scholar from the 14th and 15th centuries. Al-Jurjānī, who rose to prominence through his studies in fiqh, theology, philosophy, and philology, is said to have been interested in the science of music. A letter of recommendation was written for a musician named Hāfez-e Adwār under the name Mīr Sayyid al-Sharīf in some surviving collections and jönks. Although this letter of recommendation appears to have been written by al-Jurjānī, a closer examination reveals that it was not written with his pen. In this letter of recommendation, probably written by al-Jurjānīs fourth-generation grandson, a rich Shirazite was asked to patronize a musician who intended to emigrate to other countries due to financial difficulties and living conditions. This letter contains information about the music literature of the time and can be interpreted as evidence that letters of recommendation from noble families were effective in the patronage of artisans by the wealthy. This study uses new academic studies to provide information on Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Jurjānī. The letter of recommendation is then analyzed and translated into Turkish.

 Mîr Seyyid Şerîf Cürcânî, XIV. ve XV. asrın en tanınmış âlimlerinden biridir. Cürcânîden sonra torunları Şirazda yaşamış ve Şerîf ailesi, Şirazın önde gelen ailelerinden olmuştur. Asıl şöhretini fıkıh, kelam, felsefe ve filoloji çalışmalarıyla kazanan Cürcânînin mûsıkî ilmiyle de ilgili oluduğu ileri sürülmektedir. Günümüze ulaşan bazı mecmualar ve cönklerde, Mîr Seyyid Şerîf adıyla Hâfız-ı Edvâr isimli mûsıkî erbabı için yazılmış bir tavsiye mektubu bulunmaktadır. Bu tavsiye mektubu, ilk bakışta Cürcânînin yazdığı bir mektup olarak gözükse de dikkatle incelendiğinde onun kaleminden çıkmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Kuvvetle muhtemel Cürcânînin dördüncü kuşak torununun yazdığı bu tavsiye mektubunda geçim sıkıntısı ve hayat şartlarından dolayı başka memleketlere göç etmek niyetinde olan bir müzisyenin zengin bir Şirazlı tarafından himâye edilmesi talep edilmiştir. Cürcânî, durumu anlatmak için berâat-i istihlal sanatından faydalanarak müzik ıstılahlarını kullanmıştır. Bu mektup dönemin mûsıkî literatürüyle ilgili bilgiler ihtiva etmekle beraber sanat erbabının zenginler tarafından himâyesi hususunda soylu ailelerin tavsiye mektuplarının etkili olduğunun bir göstergesi olarak değerlendirilebilmektedir. Ayrıca metnin edebî değerinden dolayı sonraki asırlarda mecmualar içinde kopyalarının bulunması dikkat çekicidir. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle yeni akademik çalışmalar ışığında Seyyid Şerîf Cürcânî ile ilgili bilgi verilmiştir. Akabinde, Cürcânînin dördüncü kuşak torunu olan Mîr Seyyid Şerîfin kaleminden çıktığı düşünülen tavsiye mektubu incelenmiş ve Türkçeye aktarılmıştır.
