Zeyneb Hatun, a fifteenth-century woman poet of the divan tradition: her life, literary character and the poems that survive in the sources, each with its original text, translation and commentary.

The lost divan presented to Mehmed II, the Amasya-Kastamonu debate, the verdicts of the biographers and the surviving poems of the fifteenth-century poet Zeyneb Hatun.

The ghazal with the refrain "it" quoted in every anthology that gives Zeyneb Hatun an entry: a response to Şeyhî, a prayer couplet, Khidr and Alexander, and a debated close.

Zeyneb Hatun's two-couplet kıt‘a preserved only by Sehî: the beloved's face as a verse of the Sura of Joseph, with beauty and love, cruelty and patience growing without end.

The only surviving Persian couplet by Zeyneb Hatun: the long hair lays its head at the beloved's feet because it loves the beloved's stature, in its forms in Latîfî and Âlî.
