Besides poetry, Classical Turkish literature is also very rich inprose. Although the prose seems secondary in this literary tradition, theworks produced have a considerable amount. While esthetic is seenpreliminary in poetry, the purposes such as pointing a moral,acknowledgement, and didactic quality are seen to have a broad scope inprose. Prose stories in Classical Turkish literature with the purpose ofpointing a moral can be translation of compilation. These stories can befound such as those consisting of ten volumes while there are also verybrief ones. Cevâmiu’l-Hikâyât and Levâmiu’r-Rivâyât originally written byMuhammed Avfî is a voluminous corpus of stories divided into four partsand each part including twenty-five parts. Besides the translations doneby Ibni Arabşah and Necâtî, the best known and the most comprehensiveone is Celalzade Salih Çelebi's translation. Besides, there are also brieftranslations of this voluminous corpus. The work written by thetranslator named Ahmed in 17 leaves can be found in Millet library AliEmiri number 186. This work which is a single copy was named asAdlnâme by Ahmed and presented to Sultan Murad III. Twenty storieswere translated in the work divided into six parts. The content of thesestories are often on Sultans and important statesmen's forgiveness andtheir admirable habits. As it can be understood in Adlnâme, translatorsare requesting for forgiveness from the Sultan because of an error. InClassical Turkish literature, one way to ask for forgiveness from the greatsultan or an important statesman is to present a work of compilation ortranslation to Sultan. Adlnâme is a brief translation of story written withthis purpose.
