- It is believed that the original author of the anonymous history of the Seljuqs might have been active in Konya (Turkey) around the year 1290 [1290 CE]. The information provided in his work suggests that he was connected to or member of one of the Anatolian urban fraternities (akhīs) which gave him good access to the chronology of events in the city of Konya (Turkey). Later additions were made in note form during the 14th century [1300-1399 CE].
