The first "Iskendername" written in Turkic brought to Azerbaijan

Doctor of Philology Pasha Kerimov, deputy director of the Institute of Manuscripts of ANAS, has received a copy of the poem "Iskendarname" by the Ottoman poet Tajeddin Ibrahim Ahmadi from the Tehran Parliament Library. This work, which is more than eight thousand beyts, is the first Turkic "Iskendername".

It should be noted that Ahmadi is one of the most prominent representatives of Nizami literary school in the osmalı literature. The poet presented this piece to Amir Suleiman, son of I Sultan Beyazid, in 1390.
