The series moved beyond a simple chronology of rulers and wars, approaching history through the development of civilizations, societies, political institutions and intellectual life. Its richly illustrated presentation, with numerous historical images, plates and maps, also distinguishes the series from many other Ottoman Turkish history books of the period and makes it particularly significant in the history of late Ottoman publishing and historical education.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1527\"\u003eAhmed Refik Altınay (1881–1937) was one of the most productive and influential historians and popular writers of the late Ottoman and early Republican periods. Widely remembered by the epithet “Tarihi Sevdiren Adam” (“The Man Who Made History Loved”), he played an important role in bringing historical subjects to a broader reading public through an engaging and accessible style. Originally trained as a military officer at Kuleli Military High School and the Ottoman Military Academy, he later taught history and geography, served as a professor of Ottoman History at the Darülfünun, and was among the founding members of the Turkish Historical Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003eThe sixth and final volume of the series focuses extensively on the Crusades (Ehl-i Salib), one of the major political and military developments of the Middle Ages. The volume follows the chronology of the Crusades and examines the successive campaigns between Western Europe and the eastern Mediterranean, placing these events within the broader political and religious history of the medieval world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"2426\"\u003eParticular attention is given to the Latin and Frankish principalities established in the East during the Crusader period. Their political organization, relations with the surrounding Islamic states and their role in the wider history of the eastern Mediterranean are examined as part of the narrative. The volume therefore presents the Crusades not simply as a series of military expeditions, but within the wider political and civilizational interactions between Europe and the Islamic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2856\"\u003eThe work concludes by considering the longer-lasting historical and civilizational effects associated with the Crusades, including their impact on both European and Islamic societies. Throughout the volume, numerous historical illustrations and maps accompany the text, providing visual material for the places, peoples and events discussed and continuing the richly illustrated character that distinguishes Büyük Tarih-i Umûmî.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"3336\"\u003ePublished in 1328 (c. 1912) by Kitabhane-i İslâm ve Askerî (İbrahim Hilmi) in Istanbul and printed at Agob Matyosyan Matbaası, this volume completes Ahmed Refik's six-volume world-history project. Together with the preceding volumes, it forms an ambitious late Ottoman attempt to present world history through political, cultural and civilizational development, making the complete series particularly significant for collectors and researchers of Ottoman historical publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(170, 26, 23);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3353\" data-end=\"3457\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e• Title: Büyük Tarih-i Umûmî (Comprehensive World History) – Volume VI, The Middle Ages and the Crusades\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3459\" data-end=\"3500\"\u003e• Author: Ahmed Refik Altınay (1881–1937)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3502\" data-end=\"3578\"\u003e• Series: Sixth and Final Volume of a Six-Volume Comprehensive World History\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3580\" data-end=\"3638\"\u003e• Subject: Medieval history and the Crusades (Ehl-i Salib)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3640\" data-end=\"3818\"\u003e• Historical Coverage: The Crusades, their chronology, the Latin and Frankish principalities established in the East, and the wider historical consequences of the Crusader period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3820\" data-end=\"3947\"\u003e• Political History: Relations between the Crusader states, European powers and the Islamic states of the eastern Mediterranean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3949\" data-end=\"4074\"\u003e• Civilizational Context: The long-term historical and civilizational effects of the Crusades on Europe and the Islamic world\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4076\" data-end=\"4144\"\u003e• Illustrations: Numerous historical illustrations and visual plates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4146\" data-end=\"4195\"\u003e• Maps: Numerous historical and geographical maps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4197\" data-end=\"4242\"\u003e• Publication Year: 1328 (approximately 1912)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4244\" data-end=\"4276\"\u003e• Place of Publication: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4278\" data-end=\"4334\"\u003e• Publisher: Kitabhane-i İslâm ve Askerî (İbrahim Hilmi)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4336\" data-end=\"4370\"\u003e• Printer: Agob Matyosyan Matbaası\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4372\" data-end=\"4399\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4401\" data-end=\"4613\"\u003e• Historical Significance: The concluding volume of Ahmed Refik's ambitious six-volume world-history project, devoted extensively to one of the defining political and religious developments of the medieval period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4615\" data-end=\"4822\"\u003e• Author Significance: Ahmed Refik Altınay was a prominent late Ottoman and early Republican historian, professor of Ottoman History at the Darülfünun, and a founding member of the Turkish Historical Society\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"4824\" data-end=\"5103\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Particularly valuable for collectors and researchers of Ottoman Turkish books, medieval history, the Crusades, Byzantine and Islamic history, historical geography, cartography, Ottoman publishing and the intellectual history of the late Ottoman period\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50296204198026,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_a18bf00b-0404-4142-9490-9a597425d680.jpg?v=1790413299","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/ottoman-1912-comprehensive-world-history-vol-6-the-crusades-with-maps-ahmed-refik","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
