Abstract (English): It is important to recognise that literary works possess a distinctive quality that sets them apart from the fundamental works of history, sociology, psychology and even social history. Primarily, a literary work is a work of art, reflecting the imagination of its author in a manner that is more pronounced than in any other genre. In this regard, literary works are analogous to the purpose and capacity for expression inherent to the arts, such as painting and music. It can be argued that a literary work attains greater artistic value to the extent that aesthetic elements are successfully deployed. Conversely, given that Shuara tezkires are biographical works, they are assessed according to their capacity to present the life stories of individuals and the comprehensive characteristics of the societies in which they lived, in a manner that is as realistic as possible. In the context of Turkish literature, Meşâirü'ş-şuarâ represents a pinnacle of biographical works, exemplifying the highest standards of reflection on various a spects of community life, personal b iographies, a nd a esthetic stylistic features. One aspect of the entertainment life, which is a vivid and colourful manifestation of social life, is presented in this work in the most vivid pictures: namely, the promenade and tavern life. This article presents a compilation of Âşık Çelebi's accounts of social life, which encompass both first-hand experiences and observations, as well as documented a ccounts from reliable sources. It delves into the subject matter of excursions, conversations, ayş ü işret, sciences, and literature discussions, as well as muashakas, in the promenades and taverns of Istanbul during the 16th century.

Abstract (Turkish): Edebî eserler; tarih, sosyoloji, psikoloji, hatta sosyal tarih sahalarının temel eserlerinden bütünüyle ayrı bir özelliğe sahiptir. Çünkü her şeyden önce edebî eser, bir sanat eseridir ve müellifinin hayal dünyasını hepsinden daha net yansıtır. Bu yönüyle edebî eserler, resim ve musiki gibi sanatların amacına ve anlatım kudretine daha yakın bir karakter arz ederler. Hatta denilebilir ki bir edebî eser, estetik unsurların başarıyla kullanılması ölçüsünde daha büyük bir sanat kıymeti kazanır. Şuara tezkireleri ise biyografik eserler olmaları nedeniyle kişilerin hayat hikâyeleri ve ait oldukları cemiyetin her devirde ve bölgedeki bütüncül hususiyetlerini en gerçekçi mikyasta verebilmeleriyle değerlendirilirler. Edebiyat tarihimizde Meşâirü'ş-şuarâ, kişisel biyografiler kadar cemiyet hayatının türlü vechelerini yansıtması ve taşıdığı estetik üslup hususiyetleri ile bu ölçütleri en yüksek mertebede sunan bir biyografi eseridir. Sosyal hayatın canlı ve renkli bir tezahürü olan eğlence hayatının bir yönünü, mesire ve meyhane yaşamını bu eserde canlı tablolar hâlinde görmek mümkündür. Âşık Çelebi'nin, bir kısmını bizzat yaşadığı yahut kimine şahit olduğu, bazısını güvenilir kaynaklardan okuyup not ettiği, kimisini ise yine muteber sözlü mehazlardan dinleyerek kaydettiği sosyal hayat anlatımlarından bir kısmını derleyen bu makalede, 16. asırda İstanbul mesireleri ve meyhanelerinde yapılan gezinti, sohbet, ayş ü işret, ilim ve edebiyat musahabeleri ve muaşakalar ele alınmış, kahvehaneler başta olmak üzere diğer sosyal mekânlar kapsam dışı bırakılmış, sadece devrin mesire ve meyhane kültürünün tespitine katkı sunmak amaçlanmıştır.
