Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The tradition of classical Turkish literature has a structure that includes many cultural elements. One of these is Judaism. Founded by Fadlallah Astarabadi in Persia at the end of the 14th century, Hurufism is a thought that is based on Islam but also includes interpretations of the Torah and the Bible. One of the concepts that originates from the Torah and is not mentioned in the Quran but is encountered in texts related to Hurufism is Tabernacle. Fadlallah Astarabadi, who placed twenty-eight letters of the Arabic alphabet and thirty-two letters of the Persian alphabet as the basis of his thought, claims that Tabernacle is a symbol of Adam. Hurufis use literature as a tool to express and spread their thoughts. For this reason, Fadlallah Astarabadi's teachings have been extensively explained by Hurufi poets in some masnavis and divans. Thus, Astarabadi's interpretation of Tabernacle entered classical Turkish literature. The main subject of this study is the effect of the concept of Tabernacle, which came from Judaism and entered classical Turkish literature through Hurufism, on Hurufi-Bektashi Turkish poets. What is the meaning of Tabernacle in literary works? Has the concept of Tabernacle remained only at the level of doctrine in the poems, or has it gained an artistic quality in line with the aesthetics of classical Turkish literature? Did only Hurufi poets use this concept, or did other non-Hurufi poets also include this concept in their works? Answers to these questions will be sought in the study.
