This analysis has been conducted on 13 tales that were transferred to the written environment before 1928. Some of the works in this content are manuscripts, some of them are printed by a method called lithography, and some of them are printed with printing press letters. Since the first part of the tale is missing, the works whose title cannot seen are not included in analysis. Titles of the tale often given in descriptive terms and explanatory expressions. The term which is used commonly in the titles is tale. Over and above this, it is found the terms of book, parable, anecdote, epic in the tale titles. The fact that the title of one of the two copies of the Book of Dede Korkut begins with “kitab-ı” and the other begins with “ hikayet-i” clearly shows the influence of the minstrel-style tale tradition that emerged as an extension of this narrative genre. The obvious difference manuscripts than printed works in the nomenclature which is emphasis by copyists on the fact that they actually lived in the past and that they believe in the spiritual personalities of the heroes of the tales. It is seen that this understanding has moved away in the printed works which are printed with lithography and printing press letters. It is noted that these tales were widely read famous narratives, especially printed works between 1911- 1928.
