The episode concludes with warm closing blessings.

Oxford Bodleian Kütüphanesi Nüshası Yusuf ü Züleyha ve Hızır Meddah Tahlili: 481. Bölüm Tahlili
Türk-İslam edebiyatında Yusuf ile Züleyha kıssasını işleyen mesneviler, hem tasavvufi hem de lirik anlatımın en güzel örneklerindendir.
bölümde, Oxford Üniversitesi Bodleian Kütüphanesi’nin Özel Koleksiyonları’nda muhafaza edilen (~236 sayfalık) Yusuf ü Züleyha (Yusuf və Züleyxa) yazma nüshası mercek altına alınmıştır. Oturumun giriş kısmında nüshanın fizikî durumu (eksik ilk varaklar, kelime üstü harekeler/i‘râb, beyit sonlarındaki ayraç noktaları ve su lekeleri) tahlil edilmiştir.
Oturumda ayrıca, eserin muhtevasından manzum mesnevi örnekleri okunmuş; eserin sonunda yer alan hatime ve kolofonda eserin müellifi/kâtibi olarak Hızır meddah’ın zikredildiği (“Bu Hızır meddahı veli bi-hüner...”) ve nüshanın “Təmmet bi-hamdillahi ve hüsn-i tevfiqihî” ibaresiyle tamamlandığı tespit edilmiştir.
Bu yönüyle oturum, hem Yusuf ü Züleyha mesnevi geleneği hem de Oxford Bodleian Kütüphanesi yazma eser proveniansı açısından mühim bir çalışma olmuştur.
