Abstract:

Although the geography we live on is witnessing root changes, it contains important data about the Turkish existence and the periods it met with Islam, it was born in a distant geography, finding the opportunity to travel to the region, observing and transferring the information it was obtained to the writing of the Indulus geographer and historian ibn Saïd al-Mağribî's short but so valuable part of the Book al-Geography belonging to Anadolu. Of course, the geographical, historical and anthropological data contained here will be subject to assessment and interpretation by the experts of these fields in accordance with their own field disciplines. It is our greatest desire that this modest study keeps a bright light on the time when the geography we live is converted to Anadolu and open the door to wider research.
