This study aims to determine the common references of Alevi tradition. Recognizing the fundamental transformation that the Alevi Identity has been experiencing during the last half a century, the theoretical framework, within which this project operates, presumes that traditional Alevilik and modern Alevilik must be studied separately. The research subject of the current project is traditional Alevilik. In order to determine traditional Alevilik, whose main body has been preserved and transmitted via oral tradition, we conducted a comprehensive field research, which is limited by Amasya-Tokat-Çorum-Sivas area. As a central part of the field research, we have conducted face-to-face, in-depth, unstructured interviews with those people who are remained more or less intact to modernity and hence deemed carriers of traditional Alevilik. While choosing information sources we looked for the parameters such as knowing about the tradition, preserving village character, being closed to modern ideologies, and being illiterate if possible. These video recordings were later deciphered, worked and classified in a systematical manner; and finally similar data were brought together so that the main components of the living Alevilik in the region were reconstructed. Meanwhile, an annotated catalogue of manuscripts that were discovered during the fieldwork has been drafted. By this catalogue, the written sources of traditional Alevilik, hence its written references, are determined within the inner hierarchy of the tradition.
