An exceptionally rare and comprehensive academic monograph on the aesthetics and structure of Ottoman Turkish literature, authored by the eminent Georgian Turkologist and academician Elizbar Javelidze (b. 1938). This substantial 430-page work provides a deep dive into the complex world of Divan poetry, Sufi mysticism, and the philosophical underpinnings of Middle Eastern literary traditions during the classical period. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources, Javelidze systematically analyzes the dominant genres, metrical systems (Aruz), and the intricate symbolic language of Turkish poetics. Published in Tbilisi in 1988, at the very twilight of the Soviet era, the book was issued in a microscopic print run of only 1,000 copies, ensuring its immediate absorption into specialized academic libraries and rendering it practically unobtainable on the Western antiquarian market today. This specific copy is elevated to a museum-quality artifact by a warm, handwritten presentation inscription from the author to "Shalva"—a colleague within the elite circle of Georgian orientalists. Pristinely preserved in its original hardcover, it is an essential acquisition for institutional collections and bibliophiles specializing in Near Eastern studies, Turkology, and Sufi literature.
