THE MANUSCRIPTS RELATED TO ALEVISM AND BEKTASHISIM IN THE LIBRARY OF KONYA KOYUNOGLU

The city, Konya is culturally as well as historically one of the most important cities in Turkey. This ancient capital city has five important manuscript libraries; the Konya Regional Directorate of Manuscripts, Mevlana Museum Manuscript Library, Mevlana Museum Abdulbaki Golpinarli Library Yusuf Aga Library and Konya Metropolitan Municipality Izzet Koyunoglu Museum and Manuscript Library. But unfortunately, the last one Izzet Koyunoglu Manuscripts Library is not known sufficiently by the interested researchers. This library has many manuscripts related to Alevism and Bektashism. Izzet Koyunoglu as a collector had gathered the documents from all over Turkey. The aim of this bibliographic article is to draw attention of the researchers to this library, and on the other hand to introduce over one hundred manuscripts which are related to Alevism and Bektashism.
