This monumental history consists of Turkish adaptations of the parts of
Rashīd al-Dīn’s Jāmi‘ al-Tawārīkh, Rāvandī’s Rāḥat al-Ṣudūr, and Ibn Bībī’s
al-Awāmir al-‘Alā’iyya, covering the
history of the Seljuks from their origins in the Oghuz tribe to the fall of the
dynasty and the emergence of the Ottomans , who are portrayed as the Seljuks’
legitimate successors. While mainly an adaptation of other works, Yazıcızade Ali’s work also
contains much information not available elsewhere, especially for later Seljuk
history (see e.g. ). Show more
