Abstract

The book ‘Bir Medeniyetin İz Düşümü Vakıflar’ (Waqf as a Pillar of Civilization), written by a team of Turkish history and economics experts under the Directorate General of Waqf, presents a comprehensive study of the development of waqf from the pre-Islamic era to the glory of the Ottomans. This book emphasizes the spiritual and socio-political dimensions of waqf, by describing various definitions of scholars, the practice of waqf by the Prophet and his companions, and its evolution in classical Muslim, Seljuk, and Ottoman societies. The authors classify the types of waqf, present profiles of waqf donors from the elite to the general public, and provide real examples of waqf objects such as mosques, madrasas, hospitals, caravanserais, libraries, as well as cash waqf and avarız. The analysis also highlights the dual function of waqf as a means of worship and a social instrument for equitable welfare, while remaining closely linked to political interests. Written in a communicative style, with illustrations and rich references, this book offers an important foundation for readers and researchers who wish to understand the role of waqf in building Islamic civilization, particularly during the Seljuk and Ottoman eras.

Abstract

The book Anadolu’da İpek Yolu XI–XIV. Yüzyıllarda Yollar ve Kervansaray by Ali Kilci and Gökçe Günel is a historical-visual study that discusses the role of the Silk Road in the Anatolia region during the Middle Ages, specifically between the 11th and 14th centuries. Published by the General Directorate of Foundations under the Turkish Ministry of Tourism and Culture, this book highlights the close relationship between international trade networks and the development of waqf (foundation) institutions in Turkish history. The first part of the book explains the Silk Road routes that traversed important cities such as Erzurum, Sivas, Kayseri, Konya, Antalya, Bursa, and Istanbul, emphasizing its role in bringing together the Eastern and Western worlds. The second part details the strategic function of the kervansaray—caravanserais built and managed through the waqf system—as economic, social, and philanthropic infrastructures that guaranteed the safety, comfort, and continuity of trade along these routes. This book also displays the architectural and cultural dimensions of the kervansaray as a symbol of public service open to all, regardless of origin or background. Although not compiled with a deep academic approach, this work is highly valuable as an educational tool introducing the historical and cultural heritage of the Silk Road in Anatolia, as well as being an inspiring source for understanding the relationship between foundations, trade, and civilizational development during the Seljuk period.
