Abstract

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 11 th through the 13 th 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.

Özet

Kahire Genizası denilen yerde, tüm Akdeniz ülkelerinden, özellikle de 11. yüzyıldan 13. yüzyıla kadar, İbranice ve Arapça belgeler içeren benzersiz bir koleksiyonun bulunması çok heyecan verici ve önemlidir. İbranice bir kelime olan geniza (ya da genizah) [גניזה] (“gizlenme” veya “gizlenme yeri”), bir Yahudi sinagogundaki ve mezarlığındaki depo alanı veya depo anlamına gelir. Bu geniza yerleri, yıpranmış İbranice kitapların ve dinî konulardaki kâğıtların uygun şekilde mezarlığa defni öncesinde geçici olarak saklanması için belirlenmiştir. Cambridge Üniversitesi Dijital Kütüphanesi tarafından verilen bilgilere göre, orada T-S H5.111 olarak numaralandırılan ve İbranice ve Arapça olarak yazılmış bu geniza belgelerinden biri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, “Türklerle ilgili bir mesele”yi anlatan bu belgenin Arapça verso sayfasını açıklamaya çalışıyoruz. Özellikle Türk araştırmacıların dikkatini bu konuya çekmek istiyoruz. Ayrıca bazı yeni görüşler öne sürüyoruz.
