Nasîhatnâme (singular: Nasîhat, from Arabic ''nasiha'', meaning ''the advice'') were a type of guidance letter for Ottoman sultans, similar to mirrors for princes. They draw on a variety of historical and religious sources, and were influenced by the governance of previous empires such as the Sassanids or the Mongols, as well as by Muslim history and by contemporary events. ==History== Nasîhatnâme became common in the sixteenth century but built on earlier works such as the Kutadgu Bilig (''Knowledge of Prosperity''), written in 1070 by Yusuf Has Hacip. Early influences include inşa literature from Persia, so nasîhatnâme are influenced by the workings of Sassanid and Mongol government; some even refer to Alexander the Great. However, nasîhatnâme are different from Byzantine ''Chronographia'', and were written for a different audience. Nasîhatnâme were even commissioned by aspirants to Ottoman government - including, in one case, by the Phanariot Alexandros Skarlatou Kallimaki, the probable father of Skarlatos Voyvodas Alexandrou Kallimaki. By the 17th century, a sense of imperial decline began to affect the content of these texts; more than just advocating a return to some golden age (i.e. Suleyman the Magnificent) they highlighted specific systemic problems in the empire - including nepotism, revolts, military defeat, and corrupt Janissaries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nasîhat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
