Nirxandina Kurteçîrokên Mela Mehmûdê Bazîdîyî yên bi Navê Durru'l-Mecalîsê

Abstract

The topic of this study is some of the short stories written by Mela Mehmûdê Bazidî in Kurdish (kurmanji dialect) are registered as Durru’l-Mecalis in the Jaba’s collection. In this article, after the presentation of the stories we try to evaluate them from the view point of sources as well as topic. Also, the information about the life and work of Mela Mehmûd was given and evaluated according to the available sources. Although Bazidi has placed Persian texts alongside Kurdish translated texts, it appears from the entire text that he collected some of these stories from the people of the Kurdish madrasas and recorded them there. As can be seen from the texts of Durru’l-Mecalis written by Mela Musa Hakari and from the stories told by mollas among people, these Bazidi stories are also closely related to folk tales. Bazidi does not even name any Persian source. Because the teachers of the Kurmanji madrasas have given importance to the Persian language and literature, in this study Bazidi also wrote the short stories in both Persian and Kurdish (Kurmanji idalect).
