Târîh-i Osmânî Encümeni Kurucularýndan Efdaleddin (Tekiner) Beyin Hayatý, Eserleri ve Tarihçiliði Üzerine

Abstract

Tarih, konusu itibariyle pek çok insaný gerek okur gerekse yazar olarak kendisine çekmiþ bir bilim dalýdýr. Bu bilim dalý çerçevesinde gerçekleþen faaliyete yalnýzca okur olarak katký saðlamýþ olanlarýn ya da okuduklarýný sözlü olarak kullanýp birilerine aktarmakla yetinmiþ olanlarýn bir dereceye kadar zihinlerde yer etmemiþ olmalarý doðaldýr. Kanaatimizce tarihi yapanlarýn ve yazanlarýn unutulmalarý ise o kadar kolay olmamalýdýr. Özellikle tarihî bilgilerin nesilden nesile aktarýlmasýnda en önemli rolü üstlenen tarih yazarlarýnýn -aralarýnda tarihçilik anlayýþý bakýmýndan farklýlýklar olmakla birlikte- dikkate alýnmasý bir zorunluluk gibidir.
