Özet:

 The manuscript of Kasgarlı Mahmud, Divanu Lugatit Turk, is not only the first dictionary of Turkish but also important for containing many concepts within the history of Turkish culture. Due to this importance, it has been the subject of many studies from the first quarter of the 20th century when it was discovered to the present day. The work, which contains many concepts ranging from the linguistic features of Turkish tribes to the names of cities, towns, villages, rivers, lakes, and mountains in the 11th-century Turkish world, as well as personal names; from folk literature to traditions; from folk medicine to Turkish military terminology, is a bedside book that can be evaluated from a very broad perspective. It is not just a repository of words recorded with their meanings, but rather, it appears as a composite vessel that combines centuries of Turkish cultural ecology under the roof of terminological integrity, given in a cinematographic narrative style. In this context, in our study where we present many words, concepts, and examples of a comprehensive military terminology within the 11th-century Turkish military tradition, ranging from a fully-equipped army structure to military strategy and practices, using a cinematographic style; the Turkish concept of war is examined through the war scenes in the Divanu Lugatit Türk, and the 11th-century Turkish art of war is revealed by following the chronological method of before, during, and after the war. As a result of the study, it is seen that the political and military success of the Turkish nation, which is at the forefront of the art and philosophy of war in the construction of culture and civilization in world history, is not accidental, based on the concepts related to the military organization mechanism of the 11th century.

 Kaşgarlı Mahmudun Dîvânu Lugâtit Türk adlı eseri, Türkçenin ilk sözlüğü olmasının yanında, Türk kültür tarihi içerisinde birçok kavramı barındırması hususunda da önem arz etmektedir. Bu öneme binaen, keşfedildiği 20. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinden günümüze kadar birçok çalışmaya konu olmuştur. Türk dilinin söz varlığı içerisinde; Türk boylarının ağız özelliklerinden Türk boy ve alt boylarına; 11. yy. Türk dünyası şehir, kasaba, köy, akarsu, göl ve dağ adlarından kişi adlarına; halk edebiyatı ürünlerinden gelenek ve göreneklere; halk hekimliğinden Türk savaş terminolojisine kadar birçok kavramı ihtiva eden eser, çok geniş perspektiften değerlendirilebilecek bir başucu kitabı mahiyetindedir. Kelimelerin anlamlarıyla birlikte kayıt altına alındığı salt kelime deposu değil, aksine terminolojik bütünlüğün sinematografik bir anlatım üslubuyla verilmesi hususunda yüzyılları Türk kültür ekolojisi çatısı altında bağdaştıran bir bileşke kabı görünümündedir. Bu bağlamda; 11. yy. Türk harp geleneği içerisinde büyük bir askerî terminolojinin mevcudiyetini, tam teşekküllü ordu yapılanmasından askerî strateji ve uygulamalara kadar birçok kelime, kavram ve örneği sinematografik bir üslupla ortaya koyduğumuz çalışmada; Dîvânu Lugâtit Türkte yer alan savaş sahnelerinden hareketle Türk harp tasavvuru incelenmiş; harp öncesi, harp sırası ve harp sonrası olmak üzere kronoloji yöntemi izlenerek 11. yy. Türk savaş sanatı ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak çalışmada, 11. yy. askerî teşkilat mekanizmasına ait tasavvurlardan hareketle dünya tarihinde kültür ve medeniyetin inşası bağlamında harp sanatı ve felsefesinin başında gelen Türk milletinin siyasi ve askerî başarısının tesadüfi olmadığı görülmüştür.
