Zenanname
The Zennanname (pronounced [zeˈnan.naːme], Ottoman Turkish: زناننامه, lit. 'Book of Women') is a work by Enderûnlu Fâzıl, completed in 1793. It categorizes and describes the positive and negative attributes of women from across the Ottoman Empire and the world according to their places of origin, in a masnavi form long poem in the Ottoman Dîvân tradition. The Zenanname is a sequel to the Hubanname (1792-3), an equivalent work on young men by the same author. Both works are in the şehrengiz style of the masnavi, a typology of poems describing the beauties of a city.The work was translated into European languages in the late 19th century, beginning with Jean-Adolphe Decourdemanche's 1879 French translation as the Livre des Femmes.
