Künûzî And His Sehrengiz Of Kasa
The sehrengizs which cover a city’s beautifuls and beauties are among the authentic literal types of the classical Turkish literature in terms of their form and content. The most explicit features of the works which are accommodated in such type are that most of them are written in the mesnevi verse form and about the settlements within Ottoman geography for a certain period. The sehrengizs have an important place in terms of the literal aspect and the information that they have about the geographical, architectural and cultural history of the cities where they are written.
The sehrengiz constitutes the axis of our study that it is for the city which was named as Kaşa by Ottoman people is named as Kosiçe connected to Slovakia today, and which was written in the first half of 17th century.
