Abstract

Anatoly is the area which has been welcoming to the numerous groups of Iranian as emigrant during history; so that the Persian language and literature could be developed by these emigrant groups. During Timurid time and the beginning of Safavid, the political changes of Iran as well as the ground provided by the Othmanid sultans to attract scientists and artists toward Istanbul led to the increase of the trend of migration of Iranians to Anatoly. Consequently, a large group of Iranian scholars, poets and artists were to migrate to Istanbul and the other cities of Anatoly. They took the Persian literature works to Anatoly and made effort to duplicate and write down the Persian books in this area. Some of them having entered the court of Othmanid sultans did their best toward more development of Persian language and literature works. Each of these emigrants were considered as the outstanding figures of their time in terms of writing, duplication, illustration of the books, teaching and writing scientific books concerning mathematics, astrology, poem, Persian literature, philosophy, music and medication.  This writing has investigated the role of this group of emigrants in the development of Persian literature works in Anatoly
