Abstract

Turks have been interested in astronomy for centuries. They trained many astronomers and opened observatories. One of these astronomers is Abdurrahman Es Sufi. Sufi's work is Suver Al-Qawakip, one of the oldest works written in the field of Astronomy during the Anadolu Selcuklu period. Today we have Sufi copies of various dates. It is also important in that the work is the oldest dated writing that can be a source for astral figures in Turkish Art. The fact that it is so different from the works written in the field of astronomy made it special. Sufi influenced the modern age according to the researchers in his era by studying fixed stars and creating a cosmographic catalogue. The current Sufi manuscripts XI. and XIII. it is among the yys. This work, which has been translated into different languages at different dates with miniatures reflecting period features both in his own period and later, is also important in terms of being the oldest dated writing that can be the source for the astral vetch in Turkish Art
