center of Iran, encountered a mountainous area here. That’s why they
named this region “ Jebāl “, which means “Mountains” in their language.
Nahāvand which was established in the south of Hamadan, is defined by
the medieval Islamic geographers as the city in the Jebāl which is famous
for its abundant blessings and fruits. Nahāvand whose history goes back
to ancient times, was an important city during the Sāssānids (226-651)
period. However, Nahāvand gained its real fame with the “ Nahāvand
War”, which took place between the Sāssānid and Islamic armies. Thus,
the Islamic domination in the city began. After this date, the city came
under the rule of the Umayyads (661-750), Abbāsids (750-1258),
Sāmānids (819-1005) and Buwayhids (932-1062), and for a while it was
also under the rule of local dynasties such as Hasan al-Wayh (959-1015)
and Qāqūyids (1007-1119).
Seljuqs interest in the Jebāl region started right after they declared
their independence. Ibrahim Yınal was commissioned by Tugrul Bey
(1040-1063) to conquer the Jebāl region. Ibrahim Yınal also obeyed
this ordered and established dominance in the Jebāl region, which also
included Nahāvand. The dominance of the Seljuqs in the Jebāl region
developed in two ways. One of these was the first period when local
powers and Seljuq emirs came to the fore. The other was that Jebāl region
remained within the borders of the Irāqi Seljuqs under administrative
division that coincided with the reign of Sultan Sanjar (1118-1157).
During the Seljuq period, Nahāvand witnessed some political and social
events. One of them is the murder of Nizām al-Mulk near Nahāvand. The
fact that the struggle of Berkyārūq (1092-1104) and Mahammad Tapar
(1105-1118) took place near Nahāvand and then the rebellion attempt
of the Seljuq Prince Mengubars in Nahāvand are examples of the events
in this period. The religious status of the city during the Seljuq period
is understood from the records in Abd al-Jalel Qazwīnī’s Kitāb al-Nakz.
Nahāvand, where people with Shafii thought lived during this period,
also witnessed the “Fake Prophet Incident” in 1105, in which a name
from Sevad took off. In terms of economy, the most important power
in the hands of the city saffron and fruit production. On the other hand,
Nahāvand is a center famous for its mints. The Nahāvand mint, which
continued its operation from the Ashkānī period to the Qajar Dynasty
(1794-1925) , was also used effectively during the Seljuq period. The
Jame Mosque, which was built in the city, is also dated to Seljuq period.
This study, the historical geography of the city of Nahāvand will be
explained and the situation of Nahāvand after the activities of Seljuqs
in the Jebāl region will be discussed. After mentioning the political and
social events in the city during this period, the religious and scientific
situation of Nahāvand will be explained. After giving information about
the economic structure of the city, four examples of coins from Seljuq
period that were struck in Nahāvand will be given. Finally, information
will be given about Jame Mosque, which was built in the city

Hanlığın içerisinde bulunduğu durumu kendi açısından olumlu anlamda değerlendiren Emir Timur, 1370 yılında Maveraünnehr'de hükümdarlığını ilan etti. 1 Hükümdarlığını ilan etmesinin ardından Harezm, Mazenderan, İran ve Irak'ta faaliyetlerde bulundu. 2 Emir Timur, yapmış olduğu "yıllık seferler" ile Anadolu'da bulunan devletleri tedirgin etmeye başlamıştı. Bu dönemde Anadolu'da bulunan devletler ise Osmanlılar, Karamanoğulları, Erzincan Emiri Mutahharten, Dulkadiroğulları, Malatya'ya kadar gelmiş olan Memlükler ve Kadı Burhaneddin Ahmed devletleriydi. 3

Sultanate of Rum. Many waqfs has been constructed by him throughout his life. One of them was
Sivas Sâhibiye Madrasa and Complex, which he built in 1271. This work which has a mosque, a
soup kitchen and a fountain together with its madrasa, was an important scientific institution in the
era of Seljuk. Due to the sovereignty of Ottomans in Sivas, Seljuk works existing at the city came
under the domination of the Ottoman Empire. As a result of the policies Ottomans developed on the
heritage of the Seljuks, these works were protected and turned into an Ottoman institution by
continuing their function. Sivas Sâhibiye Madrasa too, continued to function as an educational
institution as well as a charitable institution in the Ottoman period.
This study will focus on the transformation of Sivas Sâhibiye Madrasa into an Ottoman
institution. We will mention the function of this madrasa as an educational and charitable
foundation in the Ottoman period and will refer to the position of Sâhibiye Madrasa in everyday life
of the Ottoman period in Sivas. Lastly, we will express the repair of this building which has fallen
into ruin at times.

While explaining event according to the Chronicle, from time to time additional explanations will be made for a better understanding of events. Sometimes the events described by Akropolites will be compared with the books of Ġbn Bibi (Selçukname) and Aksarayi (Müsameretü‟l Ahbar). Thus a comparison of a Byzantine source with native sources will be made.
