Tezkire (Arabic: تذکرة), from Arabic tadhkirah meaning "something that causes one to remember" or "memorandum",[1] is a form of bibliographical dictionary or bibliographical compendium which flourished in the 16th-century Ottoman Empire.[2] The most widely known are the tezkires of poets, but the books also focused on the works of government officials and artists in general.[3] First seen in early Arab literature before the 10th century,[4] they then made their way into Persian literature and later Ottoman literature.[3]
One of the most famous Persian tezkires is the Tazkirat al-Awliya of Fariduddin Attar. The most important tezkire in Chagatai-Turkic is Majolis un-Nafois by Ali-Shir Nava'i.
