Basic Issues of Seljuk History and Historiography
Synopsis
In Turkey, the studies, which started at the end of the XIXth century with the idea of dealing with Turkish history as a whole with modern methods, accelerated and continued in the republican period. The studies on Seljuk Historiography, which started with Prof. Dr. Fuad Köprülü in the Republican period, continued with Prof. Dr. Zeki Veli Togan and Prof. Dr. M. H. Yinanç. These studies as a whole reached a level with Prof. Dr. Osman Turan, Prof. Dr. M. Altay Köymen, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Kafesoğlu. Although the works of these great scholars have now united the parts of a whole, it can be said that many studies have filled the gaps until today.
However, today Seljuk Historiography should become more organized and disciplined. This symposium is a start by revealing the problems of Seljuk historiography. From now on, we want to deal with the problems of Seljuk Historiography periodically every year. Thus, each subject will be discussed separately as a specific symposium subject and its problems and solutions will be discussed.
