Abstract :
The Parable of Joseph, a religious story has been rewritten by different people in various ways over the course of centuries. This exemplary story of the Prophet Yusuf is rich in love, hope, jealously, hate and betrayal. In the field of literature being based upon the Holy Books, this story, also entitled, Kıssa-yı Yusuf, Mathnawi of Yusuf, Yusuf and Zuleyha, Yûsuf u Zelîha was retold for centuries. This story, found also in the Old Testament and Bible due to its complex of religious, ethical and philosophical dimensions, was worthy of consideration as “the best story” in the Holy Qur’an and there are fine examples in both Western and Eastern literatures. From the 13th century, when the first example in Turkish literature was written, many examples of the Parable of Joseph were written in both verse and prose. This article addresses the 3485 couplet poem of the Parable of Joseph written by Muhammed bin Hüseyin within the context of Medieval Anatolian Turkish and it’s linguistic properties.
