Sadd-i Iskandari
text:
The Sadd-i Iskandarī was composed by Ali-Shir Nava'i (1441–1501) in the second half of the fifteenth century. It is the only rendition of the Alexander Romance in Chagatai Turkish. Alexander legends did exist in other forms of Turkish though, such as Taceddin Ahmedi's Iskendername. The name of Nava'i's work is a reminder of the story of Dhu al-Qarnayn, whom Nava'i believes to be Alexander the Great. As described in the Quran, Dhu al-Qarnayn (Alexander) is entrusted by God to build a wall sealing
