The Turkish states founded in Anatolia in between twelfth and fifteenth centuries managed to create an atmosphere ofintensive culture in this region despite the baUles and political and economic contradictions. The limited number of works issued for the Saltuklu, Mengücekli, Danişmentli, Artuldu Beyleri in the early twelfth century can be regarded as the evidence of the fact that Turitheir own even in this period ofpolitical turmail. In the thirteenth century, a larger number of works were issued for the sultans as a result of the fact that the rolers preserved and encouraged the science. Doubtless, the Seljuk su/tans founded big collections of books at their palaces. Yet a smail number of manuscripts ofthe sultans have survived in to the present time. This was affected by the wars,conquest and local wars of the period. It was reported by Kerimeddin Mahmud of Aksaray in his work that especially during the Cimri Revolt, the rebels plundered the whole palace in Konya and stole most of the treasure and belongings of the sultans and emirs. However, the big collections were indeed founded at the medreses. The collects at the medreses of Konya Altunapa, Sivas Sahibiyye, Sivas Buruciyye, Sivas Gök, Akşehir Sahip Ata and Aksaray Fahreddin have been recorded. There are collections at the mescids, turbes and owned by the scho/ars themselves in addition to the ones at the medreses. It is also necessary to mention the tekkes as the place of these colJections. In particular. the Mevlevis founded coJlections of a high artist/c value. A high number of unique works of the Mevlevis have come up today.

xlı.-xV. yüzyıllar arasında, Anadolu'da kurulan ilk Türk beylikleri, Anadolu Selçuklu devleti ve bu devletin yıkılışından sonra siyasi gücü paylaşan Türkmen beylikleri savaşlara, siyasal ve ekonomik çalkantılara rağmen bu coğraıyada oldukça yoğun bir kültür ortamı yaratmayı başarmışlardır. Bu ortamın en önemli unsuru da hiç şüphesiz telif ve istinsah edilen kitaplardır. Bu kitapların arasında ünik değeri oldukça yüksek yazma eserler de bulunmaktadır. Bir çoğu zengin tezhiplerle süslenmiştir, ciJtleri bezemelidir, daha az sayıda olanlarına ise minyatür resimler yapılmıştır.
