[Bilimsel Haber] New Book: "Victory Inscribed: The Seljuk Fetihname on the Citadel Walls of Antalya, Turkey"

[Onur Inal]

A new book on the longest known Anatolian Seljuk inscription has recently
been published in Turkish and English with copious illustrations:

Scott Redford and Gary Leiser, "Victory Inscribed: The Seljuk Fetihname on
the Citadel Walls of Antalya, Turkey", Istanbul: AKMED, 2008. (Adalya
supplementary series 7)

This book consists of a new translation of, and historical, architectural,
urbanistic, and epigraphic commentary on, a victory screed
(fetihname/fathnama) written in the spring of 1216 after the Seljuk
reconquest of the city of Antalya on the south coast of Anatolia, carved on
column shafts, and inserted into the walls of Antalya citadel.

The fetihname inscription had previously been available only in Ahmed
Tevhid's incomplete 1926 transcription. This new study corrects many
readings, and adds several previously unread lines. It also places the
inscription in the context of medieval Anatolian history, the growth of the
city of Antalya, and Seljuk epigraphy.

With contributions by Burhan Varkivanc, WM Thackston, Jr., and Veronica
Kalas
