Bedruddîn b. Malik’in el-Misbâh Fî İhtisâri’l-Miftâh Eserinin Dîbâcesi Özelinde Berâ‘atu’l-İstihlâl Sanatı İncelemesi
An Analysis of the Art of Barā’at al-Istihlāl in the context of Badr al-Dīn b. Mālik's Al-Misbāh Fī İhtisar al-Miftāh Work

Summary/Abstract: Badr al-Dīn b. Mālik (d. 686/1286) summarized (talkhīṣ) Abū Yaʿqūb al-Sakkākī's (d. 626/1229) book called Miftāḥ al-ʿulūm in his work named al-Miṣbāḥ fī ikhtiṣār al-Miftāḥ. This study, by being among the common basic sources of the period, achieved an exceptional position in the field of rhetoric. This summary not only has a distinguished place in its field, but also has an eloquent and aesthetic dībāje. In the dībājes, which constitute the introductory parts of the studies, information is given about subjects such as the subject, purpose, content and method. The author carefully chose the words he used in the dībāje of the summary work, and tried to make the rhetoric, which is its content, speak with artistic concepts. In this context, it has been seen that he attaches particular importance to the art of barāat al-istihlāl (ingenuity of initiation). Barāat al-istihlāl (ingenuity of initiation), handled under the badī (science of embellishment) section of Arabic rhetoric, is the art of making an introduction in a remarkable and beautiful way by means of words and phrases that refer to the purpose and content. In this manner, the author made subtle references to the names of important works written in the field of rhetoric before him. In this regard, this study aims to analyze the dībāje of the talkhīṣ named al-Miṣbāḥ fī ikhtiṣār al-Miftāḥ and explain the art of barāat al-istihlāl, as well as provide the necessary information about the sources used. The art of barāat al-istihlāl is generally included in the dîbâces, which are the introductory parts of the works. For this reason, necessary information about dībāje is also given. Since it is one of the first sources written in the field of Arabic Language and Rhetoric and the names of important rhetorical sources written before are skillfully mentioned in its dībāja with the art of berā'at al-istihlâl, Bedr al-Dīn b. Mālik's dībāja was preferred as the subject of the study. It has been brought to the attention of the academic community that the bibliographies of some classical works can be learned with this method.
