The aim of this study was to identify the love metaphors in the first volume of Garib-nâme's Süleymaniye Laleli copy, based on the contemporary theory of metaphor presented in the work Metaphors We Live By written by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in 1980. The Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) developed by the Pragglejaz Group was used to identify the love metaphors in the first volume of Garib-nâme. A total of 176 love metaphors were identified in the first volume of Garib-nâme. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the most frequently used metaphors of love were, respectively, LOVE IS A LIVING ORGANISM, LOVE IS AN OBJECT, LOVE IS CONTAINER, LOVE IS FIRE, LOVE IS WAY, and LOVE IS A PHYSICAL FORCE. It was discovered that the metaphor of LOVE IS A LIVING ORGANISM holds an important place among the mentioned metaphors, and it was discovered that love was mostly discussed in terms of the concept of humans in the context of this metaphor. According to this viewpoint, the dominant point of view regarding love in the first volume of Garib-nâme is to consider love as a living organism. Again, as a result of the study, it was seen that the contemporary theory of metaphor could also be applied to the Old Anatolian Turkish period, which was one of the historical periods of Turkish, through the example of Garib-nâme.
