Ottoman Turkish Map - “Turkey during the Seljuk Empire Period” (1923)

Description:
This map, titled “Selçuklular Döneminde Türkiye” (“Turkey during the Seljuk Period”), comes from Rıza Nur’s Türk Tarihi, published in 1342 Hijri (1923), shortly after the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. As the alphabet reform (Harf Devrimi) had not yet been implemented, the text on the map is in Ottoman Turkish written in Arabic script, not Latin script.The Harf Devrimi (Alphabet Reform) was implemented on 1 November 1928, replacing the Arabic-based Ottoman script with the Latin alphabet. This map represents the transitional period just before that significant linguistic and cultural shift.

The map measures 24.1 × 24.2 cm and depicts the Anatolia region, Arabian Peninsula, Afghanistan, and Iran, illustrating the territorial extent during the Seljuk period.

Key Features:

  • Region: Anatolia, Arabian Peninsula, Afghanistan, Iran

  • Historical Period: Seljuk era

  • Publication: Rıza Nur, Türk Tarihi, 1923

  • Language/Script: Ottoman Turkish in Arabic script (pre-Alphabet Reform)

  • Dimensions: 24.1 × 24.2 cm

  • Significance: An important historical map from the early Republican period, offering insight into historical cartography and educational materials before Turkey’s alphabet reform.
