Up to this time all Ottoman writings had been more or le rugged and unpolished; but in the reign of Selim's son, Suleyman I. (1520-1566), a new era began. Two great poets, Fuzuli and Baki, make their appearance about the same time: the one in the east, the other in the west, of the now far-extending empire. Fuzuli of Baghdad, one of the four great poets of the old Turkish school, is the first writer of real eminence who rose in the Ottoman dominions. None of his predece ors in any way approaches him; and although his work is in the Persian style and taste, he is no servile copier; on the contrary, he struck out for himself a new path, one hitherto untrodden by either Turk or Persian. His chief characteristic is an intense and pa ionate earnestne , which sometimes betrays him into extravagances; and although few Turkish poets are in one way more artificial than he, few seem to speak more directly from the heart. His best-known works consist of his "Divan," or collection of ghazels, and a poem on the loves of Leyli and Mejnun; he has besides some prose writings, which are hardly inferior to his verse.
