Abstract: Hodja Rahmî Efendi is one of the most important poems of Harput (Elazığ) in the 19th century. He was born in 1217/1802 in Hoğu (Yurtbaşı), one of the central villages of Harput, and died there in 1303/1886. After his madrasa education in Harput, Antep and Kayseri, he returned to his village and worked there as a mudarris, and he was busy with science and poetry until his death. There are two works of Rahmî: Divan and Şerh-i Bostan. When he was about to die, he edited his Divan and handed it over to his friends for publication. The death of Rahmî Efendi coincided with the printing of the Divan. This work was published separately as two separate publications with the addition of several poems. While I was working on the collection of books belonging to the Harputlu Efendigil family in the Library of Ankara University Faculty of Theology, I found a copy of Rahmi Efendi's manuscript divan. In this manuscript I have seen some of his poems that have not been published so far. I added some of the his poems that I came across when I was scanning the newspaper Mamuretülaziz and made them ready for publication with this article.
