With their rich content, poem collections are one of the important literary works constituting a source for classical Turkish literature. These literary works, the majority of which are not known when or by whom they were compiled, are important not only because they reflect the literary taste and accumulation of the period they were written, but also because they involve the poems of the poets who could not compile divan while they were alive or poets of whom did not reach the present time. Misali from Edirne, one of the 16th century poets, were eulogized by biographers, is one of the poets known to have compiled divan while he was alive. Like many poets, he has many poems recorded in various poem collections to constitute divanche although there is no copy of his Divan yet. The fact that his poems are recorded in many different poem collections shows that the poems he wrote were liked by experts of the profession. In this study, a divanche was formed by bringing together 197 poems belonging to the lost Misalî Divan, based on journals. In addition, these poems were subjected to analysis in terms of shape and content, and their translated written texts were included.
