DĪWĀN LUGHĀT AL-TURK – UNIQUE ENCYCLOPEDIC HERITAGE

Abstract

This article discusses the fact that Mahmud Kashgari also completed his book “Diwan lugat at turk” in 1075, which he had created for many years. In other words, Kashgari is an encyclopedic scholar, and Diwan is an encyclopedic intellectual product of the Renaissance. During his lifetime, the Samanids were replaced by the Qarakhanid dynasty in Movarounnahr, and the Turkic literary language became a widespread tradition in the region.
