Anatolia region of Turkish literature is very rich in terms of mathnawis or mesnevîs. Religious, sufistic and moral mesnevîs that are very related to each other have a great place among the mesnevî genre. This article focuses on the difficulty of distinguishing moral mesnevis from other mesnevîs and of classifying them within themselves. We will analyze eighty-two mesnevîs, which were written between XIIIrd and XXth centuries, according to their written dates, number of verses, and forms and contents. You will find a bibliography at the end of the article.
