Abstract

A new manuscript, classified and transcribed in the collage style of Korkut Ata's narratives, has emerged. To whom does this manuscript belong? Fundamen­tal issues such as the characteristics of the resulting manuscript and its structure will be examined. This article will also examine and review the opinions and findings contained in previous manuscript studies and publications. In addition to the textual characteristics of the new manuscript, this article will also examine the paper and ink characteristics it was written on, the type of paper, and the possible location where it may have been produced. This article will attempt to elucidate the collage nature of this manuscript and the identity of its classifier. The spelling flaws observed in this collage manuscript are also evident in all of Khojali Molla's transcriptions or manuscripts. This article will attempt to answer these questions and clarify the identity of the classifier of the collage text.
