Lectures for PhD and dissertation students studying philosophy and sciences at ANAS Institute of Folklore continue. On the 29^th April in 2024 the head of the Department of Mythology Doctor of Philological Sciences, Professor Seyfeddin Rzasoy gave a lecture on the theme “Kitabi-Turkman Language Oghuzname”. It was stated in the lecture that both “The Book of Dede Gorgud” epic and the “Kitabi-Turkman Language Oghuzname” are directly written images of the oral epic “Dede Gorgud”. Most importantly, while “The Book Dede Gorgud” is an epic, “Kitabi-Turkman Language Oghuzname” is not an epic according to its functional typology, but an esoteric sacred book of Turkmen / Turkmen.

The professor analyzed the 3 versions of the manuscript “Kitabi-Turkman Language Oghuzname” published by different scholars in Turkey in a comparative manner with the epic “Dede Gorgud” and mentioned that genres such as “boy”, “soy”, “yum” are transmedial information units about the ritual-mythological semantics of lineages.

The lecture was accepted with interest by the audience and the scientist answered questions related to the topic.
