ORD. V. A. GORDLEVSKİY, “HOCA AHMED YESEVİ”
Abstract
This study is based on the title "Hodja Ahmed Yesevi" of Vladimir Alexandrovich Gordlevski (1876-1956), a Soviet orientalist-Turkologist, Turkish language, literature, folklore and Turkish history expert, who has an important place in terms of recognizing the history, culture and spirituality of the Central Asian and Turkic peoples. It consists of a translation of the article. V.A. Gordlevskiy is the author of nearly three hundred works on Turkish language, history, ethnography, folklore and Turkish literature, which he started to study during his many trips to Turkey. Most of the author's articles have not yet been published, although they are of scientific value. The translated article consists of the information Gordlevski gained during his journey to Turkestan, his observations about Ahmet Yesevi, the mosque, the lodge and the private halvethane, and the information in the literature. According to the author, his writings are incomplete and disjointed due to the narrow time and lack of information.
