Summary
Hasan Zijai Mostarac (died 1584), is the first Bosniac to appear as the author of a complete diwan, is one of the most important classical poets of Bosnia, the Ottoman lobby of Europe. Zijai, as any other Rumelian poet, writes his poetry in a simple, honest and understandable language, and in his works, he gives space to new expressions and original utterances. In his extensive and sorted diwan and mesnevi Kıssa-i Şeyh Abdürrezzâk, in which he speaks tells an important story on Shaikh San’an, Zijai stresses that his works are valuable, that he speaks to people of acquired taste, and that not everybody can understand his works, and that through his poetry he expresses his own perception of art and esthetics. According to Zijai, a literary work should be valorized according to the cultural level of the reader, his art viewpoints and profession. An educated person, a person who acquired knowledge and gained cognition, will understand and interpret Zijai’s poetry differently from an uneducated, intellectually incomplete person. A literary work described as a rose garden by people who acquired intellectual and spiritual fullness will be understood by uneducated people as the fire of Nemrud. Poetry that arifs (they who experience The Truth) see as an ocean might be experienced completely different by a blacksmith, shepherd or farmer. This idea contemplated by Zijai in so many ways creates an image of esthetic understanding of diwan poetry and of the way the reader values the work. In this work, through esthetic reception phenomenon, we will valorize the literary work, and through an insight into poems of a Rumelian poet Zijai Mostarac, we will interpret various understandings of literary work in both quality, culturally built readers as well as readers on a lower cultural level.
