dc.description.abstractMuayyad Jandi was a student of Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi, one of the representatives of Sufi thought in Anatolia. Jandi's Qasida al-Lamiyya, considered one of the important texts of Islamic literature, consists of 171 verses and deals with the themes of religion, morality, and Sufism. The first commentary on this qasida was written by Jandi himself. Jandi commented on his qasida in Persian so that his colleagues in Persia could benefit from it. The only Turkish commentary identified so far is by `Abd al-Majid Sivasi, known by the pen name & Scedil;eyhi. Abd al-Majid Sivasi's commentary is in verse form and is found within the manuscript collection Garrett 418Y, numbered 78b-106b, at Princeton University Library. Sivasi's commentary, written in the mef & amacr;ilun fe'il & amacr;tun mef & amacr;'ilun fe'ilun meter, consists of 781 verses. Of these, 772 are translations and commentaries of Jandi's 171-verse qasida. Nine are translations and commentaries of the Arabic verse added to the end of Jandi's qasida by Sivasi. `Abd al-Majid Sivasi's Sharh Qasida al-Lamiyya, completed on May 9, 1636, is a mystical commentary adhering closely to the content of the source text. This work contains advice for Sufi travelers on the path of spiritual journey (sayr u sul & umacr;k). There has not been any research conducted on this work to date. This study first provides brief information about Muayyad Jandi, the author of the qasida and `Abd al-Majid Sivasi, the commentator of the qasida. Then, the copy of the manuscript was introduced and the work evaluated in terms of aruz prosody. Finally, it is focused on the commentary method of the work and its content.
