Shehrengiz was written for the first time in the first quarter of the 16th century and continued to be written until the end of the 18th century, preserving its classical form. One of the most important proofs that classical Turkish literature -in contrast to what's thought to be- is interwoven with social life. These works, which are the subject of debate about whom or why they are written and each researcher tries to answer according to his/her own point of view, is actually a documentary in terms of Ottoman cultural historiography. Many times speculative interpretations have been made about the life of Derzi-zâde Ulvî, a poet of the 16th century. The most important reason behind this is that regardless of the poet's works and writings, only the information in the tezkires is tried to interpret without criticizing the source. Muallim-zâde Ahmed Efendi, whom Ulvi did his counseling, came to Manisa with his teacher/mentor. In this period when Selim II was the governor of Manisa city, he wrote a shehrengiz in the name of Selim in 1556. The first chapter of shehrengiz carry serguzeshtnaame feature and the poet himself tells about the advent of parting from Istanbul and coming to Manisa, and the events that followed him after he fell in love with a fairy tale in the bazaar. After giving information about shehrengiz genre in the entrance section, in the first part, the life of Derzi-zâde Ulvî, Manisa city and a few notes about Selim II will be presented, and the second part will be reviewed with the main lines of shehrengiz and the critically text will be published.
