Abstract

One of the poets of 18. century Vehbî of Kahramanmaraş is best known by his Persian and Arabic dictionaries. Other than his Divan, one of his works is Münşeat which we don’t have the whole of it. Only a few of the letters in his Münşeat –which was said it was lost in a fire- are recorded in various works. Totally 12 letters of the poet in his Dîvân, Letâif-i İnşâ and Münşeât-ı Aziziye were found and examined by us. It is possible to get some information about life of Vehbi in these proses which were recorded with the names: Tezkire, Arîza, Kâime, Mektûb. Some of his letters are short, express a situation and have the character of tezkire and some of them are long and have literary content. The short poems by various poets, idioms and expressions in the letters show the literary character of the texts. In this paper it will be talked about the contents of the letters, examples will be given about their style, some proses of his work which is known as lost will be presented and will be brought to light.
