Mahmud Qırımlı
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mahmud Qırımlı (also known as Mahmud Qırımiy; Ukrainian: Махмуд Киримли, Turkish: Mahmud Kırımlı) was a late twelfth- to early thirteenth-century Crimean Tatar poet. He is thought to have been the author of the dastan Hikayet-i Yusuf ve Zuleyha ("Poem about Yusuf and Zulaykha"), which is considered the first literary work in the Crimean Tatar language. The biography of Mahmud himself is little researched: most studies focus on his poem.[1]
