While preparing the book, care was taken not to drown the reader in the confusion of the historical process and not to get lost in the seemingly incomprehensible world of old Turkish literature texts. For this purpose, a simple content, an understandable style and an observable method were preferred. This book, which presents the period from the foundation of the old Turkish literature to the maturation process, without rushing into quantity and exaggerating academic evaluations, has been presented to the attention of its readers.
The ghazals annotated in the book are given both in the old letters with their original alphabets and in the new letters. In addition, after each couplet, the meanings of words that are not widely known are given, then the couplet is translated into prose with today's Turkish, and finally, the commentary of the couplet is given.
