14. Yüzy lda Musiki Tasavvuru: Hasan Ka an ’nin “Kenzü’t-Tuhaf” Adl Eseri (expresPerception of Music in the Fourteenth Century: Hasan Ka an ’s “Kenzu’t-Tuhaf”)

Our knowledge of the musical vision of the fourteenth century in the Islamic world is very insufficient because of the lack of sources and relevant research. However, this century is a very important period in which the musical system of Safiyyüdd n was discussed and annotated, and so it prepared the ground for the coming of an important scholar such as Merag . In addition, the names of the tones (desat n) appear for the first time in a source. In this article, I have analyzed the understanding of music, music theory, and musical instruments of the fourteenth century, deriving information from a Persian treatise named Kenzü’t-Tuhaf written by Hasan Ka an in the fourteenth century.
