Özet:

 Classical Turkish literature has a rich content built on a diverse and colorful cultural accumulation that has been processed for centuries in a wide geography stretching from Central Asia to Europe. At the beginning of the sources that make up this content is the religious and mythological material revealed by the ancient communities living in the Islamic geography. One of the mentioned tribes is the Jews. Different opinions have been put forward regarding the usage area and interpretation of the word Isrâîliyyât, which is used to mean the whole of the rumors originating from Jewish mythology or Israel. Superstitions and information originating from Isrâîliyyât have spread not only to the religious culture in the Islamic geography, but also to the literary culture. In the world of meaning and image of classical poets, the stories told in the Quran to show an exemplary situation have an important place. These stories, which are summarized in the Quran, have a wider range of expression in the sources of Jewish mythology, especially the Torah and Talmud. The material obtained from these sources is called Isrâîliyyât in Islamic resources. In classical Turkish literature, this material has been frequently used to enrich the meaning and imagination of poetry. In this study, the reflection of many mythological elements, theological anecdotes, cultural rituals in the divan poetry of the Jewish faith and their reflection in the Ottoman literary culture are emphasized. It has been examined by considering how Isrâîliyyât, which takes its source from Jewish mythology and the Torah, is used in Classical Turkish poetry. Our study aims to initiate extensive studies in this area.

 Klasik Türk edebiyatı Orta Asyadan Avrupaya uzanan geniş bir coğrafyada yüzyıllar boyunca işlenmiş çok çeşitli ve renkli bir kültürel birikimin üstünde inşa edilmiş zengin bir içeriğe sahiptir. İçeriği oluşturan kaynakların başında özellikle İslam coğrafyasında yaşayan kadim toplulukların ortaya koyduğu dinî ve mitolojik yapıtlar gelir. Bu yapıtların oluşumuna zemin hazırlayan kavimler arasında Yahudiler de vardır. Yahudi mitolojisi veya İsrail kaynaklı rivayetlerin bütününü kastetmekte kullanılan İsrailiyyat sözcüğünün ıstılahî manada da kullanım alanı ve yorumuna dair farklı görüşler ileri sürülmüştür. İsrailiyyat kaynaklı hurafe ve bilgiler sadece İslam coğrafyasındaki dinî kültüre değil, edebî kültüre de sirayet etmiştir. Klasik şairlerin anlam ve imge dünyasında, Kuran-ı Kerimde ibretlik bir durumu göstermek için anlatılan kıssaların önemli bir yeri vardır. Kuran-ı Kerimde özet olarak anlatılan bu kıssalar Tevrat ve Talmud başta olmak üzere Yahudi mitolojisini oluşturan kaynaklarda daha geniş bir anlatım alanına sahiptir. Bu kaynaklardan elde edilen malzeme İslamî kaynaklarda İsrailiyyat olarak adlandırılmıştır. Klasik Türk edebiyatında bu malzeme şiirin anlam ve hayal dünyasını zenginleştirmek üzere sıklıkla kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Yahudi inancındaki pek çok mitolojik ögenin, teolojik kıssaların, ekinsel ritüellerin divan şiirine yansıması ve Osmanlı edebî kültürüne aksetmesi üzerinde durulmuştur. Kaynağını Yahudi mitolojisi ve Tevrattan alan İsrailiyyatın, Klasik Türk şiirinde nasıl kullanıldığı ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmamız bu alanda yapılacak geniş çaplı incelemelere ön ayak olma amacı taşımaktadır.
