Although they are subject to criticism in some respects, the work to be done without applying to these sources will be incomplete. Because these historians not only wrote down the events of the period in which they lived, but also wrote down the events of the untold period before they had to create an uninterrupted history. In the Ottoman Empire, since the beginning of the 18th century, the official historiography began with Nâimâ Mustafa Efendi (d. 1128/1716) and continued until the end of the reign. Many great historians have been in this position until the end of their inception and they have created many valuable works. Among these historians, Ahmed Vasif, who had written a work with the name of Mehâsinü’l-Âsâr and Hakāiku’l-Ahbâr, has an outstanding place. Ahmed Vâsif has written fifty-three-year history covering the years 1166-1219 / 1752-1804-05 of the Ottoman Empire with his unique style and history understanding with his fifteen-year experience. In this study, the sources of Vâsif's history understanding style and the sources of the History of the History covering the years 1166-1188/1752-1774, the place and the value of using these resources and their sources are discussed.
