Catalogued output
Works, 1867–2019
These are texts written by the subject, distinct both from writings about the subject and from printed editions of other people's work. 22 works carry dates between 1867 and 2019. The 1870s are the densest part of the run, with 12 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 25 titles in all, from 1867 to 2019.
The run opens with Devr-i İstila and closes with Vatan yahut Silistre
