IERONIM MEGIZERNING “TURKIY TIL NEGIZLARI” ASARI VA UNDAGI MAQOLLARNING IFODALANISHI

Abstract

The article is dedicated to analyzing a work published four centuries ago in
Leipzig, printed using the press, and authored by Hieronymus Megiser. The book is focused on
teaching European readers the Turkic languages, offering a grammar of Turkic languages, an
overview of the culture, political relations, and literary genres of Turkic peoples. Notably, it
includes examples of proverbs from the vernacular language of the 17th century. This work is
highlighted as a significant innovation for Turkology. The publication plays a crucial role as a
primary source in the study of Turkic heritage from the medieval period, including inscriptions,
lithographs, and early Turkic printed books. It is of great value in comparing the results of ancient
and contemporary research.
