We know that the language is open to growth and change. New words and structures may be derived depending on the needs of language users. One of the new word-making methods of the Turkish language is unification. The compound verbs that are essential to the article are also verbs formed in the form of mergers and have been used frequently in the historical process of Turkish. Researchers have different views on the naming, defining and classifying the concept of compound verb. Selimnâmes are works which generally describe the years when Yavuz Sultan Selim (Selim I) and Selim II ruled and provide researchers with historical data of these periods. Both in Turkey and in various libraries across Europe, many copies of Selimnâme are known. One of the works of the mentioned type is Târih-i Feth-i Mısır. In this work written by Şîrî, events from Selim I's life to Kanunî Sultan Suleyman's throne are described. In this study, the compound verbs in Târih-i Feth-i Mısır (Şîrî's Şâhâne-nâme), prepared by Alaattin Aköz and Orhan Yavuz and published in 2019, were discussed. In this study, first, different opinions about the definition and classification of the concept of compound verb were included and then the compound verbs in Târih-i Feth-i Mısır (Şîrî's Şâhâne-nâme) were examined. During this examination, the page and line numbers of the compound verbs in the text were also added to the study. With this method, the frequency of use of the verbs studied is also shown. A total of 562 compound verbs were identified in the work. This linguistic material is discussed under three main headings. Examining the data, it was noted that these verbs had an important place in the verbization of nouns of foreign origin. The use of compound verbs in this text, which was probably retained towards the end of the XVI century, is important in terms of reflecting the linguistic features of the period to us.

In this study, the existence of the idiomatic vocabulary determined between the pages 227-451 of the history book named Nevādirü't-Tevārįħ, written by 'Abdu's-śamed Diyārbekrį in the field of Egypt in the 16th century, will be examined. The fact that Nevādirü't-Tevārįħ is a very rich book in proverbs and idioms, increases its value for language history researches. Idioms are important in cultural historical researches as well as in language researhes. Idioms, which have a special place in the vocabulary of a language and reflect the richness of language's expressive power, are among the important cultural heritages that reflect the perspectives, feelings, expectations and many other characteristics of the communities they belong to. While this study reveals the existence of the idioms in the mentioned work, it aims to examine the determined elements structurally and to provide a rich language material to the researchers.
