The speaker introduces Object A: Hayretü’l-Ebrâr (The Wonder of the Pious), the opening philosophical and moral mathnawi of Ali Shir Nava'i's Khamsa.
Codicological inspection reveals a ~133-page manuscript copied around 1485 CE in Herat, featuring a small Nasta'liq hand, decorative borders, fabric-covered binding, and 4 imperial Timurid miniature paintings.
The speaker analyzes the iconographic and ideological function of the miniatures within Timurid manuscript culture, connecting them to the artistic patronage of the Herat court.

PUBLICATION / WEB ARTICLE
Hayretü’l-Ebrâr: 428. Bölüm ve Bodleian Kütüphanesi Nüshası ile Nevâî’nin Ahlâkî Mesnevisi
Türk dili ve edebiyatının en büyük nazım ustalarından biri olan Ali Şîr Nevâî’nin kaleme aldığı Hamse, sadece edebi bir başyapıt değil, aynı zamanda Timur Rönesansı’nın estetik ve felsefi zirvesidir. Bu büyük külliyatın ilk mesnevisi olan Hayretü’l-Ebrâr (İyilerin Hayreti), ahlâk, tasavvuf ve insanî erdemler üzerine yazılmış abidevi bir eserdir.
bölümde, Oxford Üniversitesi Bodleian Kütüphanesi’nde muhafaza edilen ve 1485 yılında Herat’ta istinsah edilen Hayretü’l-Ebrâr nüshası mercek altına alınmıştır. Oturumun giriş kısmında, kütüphane katalog verileri (1485 telif/istinsah yılı, Çağatay Türkçesi tasnifi), eserin küçük Nasta'liq hattı, kumaş kaplı cildi ve içerdiği 4 adet orijinal Timurî minyatür detaylı bir şekilde tahlil edilmiştir.
Oturumda ayrıca, eserin hazırlandığı son Timurî dönemi Herat saray muhiti, Sultan Hüseyn Bayqıra ve oğlu Sultan Badi' al-Zaman Mirza’nın sanatsal himayesi ile 1507 yılında Şeybânî Han’ın Herat’ı fethiyle kapanan Timurî egemenlik dönemi tarihsel bağlamıyla ele alınmıştır.
Bu yönüyle oturum, hem Timurî minyatür sanatı hem de Çağatay ahlâk edebiyatı açısından mühim bir çalışma olmuştur.
