AN ARABIC DOCUMENT REGARDING TURKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF CAIRO GENIZA
Öz
It is
very exciting and important that a unique collection including Hebrew and
Arabic documents, hailing from all over the Mediterranean countries, especially
from the 11th through the 13th centuries, has been found
in the so-called Cairo Geniza or Genizah.
The Hebrew word geniza (or genizah) [גניזה] (“hiding” or “hiding-place”) means a storage area or a
storeroom in a Jewish synagogue and cemetery. These geniza places are designated for the temporary storage of worn-out
Hebrew-language books and papers on religious topics before proper cemetery
burial. According to the information given by Cambridge University Digital Library, it is located there, one of
these geniza documents which is
numerated as T-S H5.111 and it is written in Hebrew and Arabic. In this
article, we try to explain the Arabic verso page of this document which
mentions an “affair of the Turks”. We want to point this issue out to Turkish
researchers especially. Furthermore we discuss some new opinions.
