Cantiques d'Abandon et d'Adoration
Quatorze chants extraits du Divan de Younous Émrè
bilingual Turkish Seljuk-French
Translation: Rémy Dor
To preserve the flavor, richness and beauty of the poetry of Yunus Émrè, Rémy Dor chose to render it in the Middle French of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The reader will find a transcription of the Turkish text on the left hand page, accompanied by notes and scholia, and the text in Middle French on the right hand page, together with an informative and literal translation in modern French. A play with colours allows the reader to distinguish between the Turkish base and Arabic and Persian loan words. Of the 205 poems in the Divan, Rémy Dor has selected 14 for their formal perfection and spiritual intensity. This initiatory journey covers seven days and nights, in reference to the fateful date of 707 (when Yunus Émrè became a dervish), the seven songs of dusk and seven dawn carols separated by the neutral element of midnight, at 0 hours.
buyCONTRIBUTORS' BIOGRAPHIES
Younous Émeré
Younous Émrè, a 14th century poet, is considered the first great Turkish humanist. His poetry combines the founding values of Islam with the folklore tradition of Anatolia. Animated by a mystical vocation, he puts - in a time of turmoil and violence - his genius at the service of the afflicted and brings consolation to those who no longer have hope. His aura is still immense in Turkey.

He is a professor at Inalco.
