Our thesis titled "Muslihuddîn Muhammed Lârî's Work Named Mir'atü'l-Edvâr and Mirkâtü'lAhbâr and its Evaluation in Terms of Seljuk History" provides general information about the history and sultans of the Great Seljuk State, Iraq Seljuks, Kirman Seljuks and Turkish Seljuk State. In addition to giving information about the important events of the period, it also gives brief information about them. This study, in which we have translated into modern Turkish the part of Muslihuddîn Muhammed Lârî's work called Mir'atü'l-Edvâr and Mirkâtü'l-Ahbâr, which provides information about the Seljuks, is important for the benefit of those who study Seljuk history and those who are interested in history. It sheds light on the political, social, economic and military history of the Seljuks, which is the subject of the research, and provides information about the geography in which they lived. In addition, with some interesting stories it contains, the work provides an idea about the sultans of the period's perspective on events, their characteristic features and the structure of the society. The work named Mir'atü'l-Edvâr ve Mirkâtü'l-Ahbâr, a world history in Persian, was published in II. It was dedicated to Selim and translated into Ottoman Turkish by Hoca Saadeddîn Efendi. In his work, the author conveyed the information he gave about each state and sultan by opening new headings and made it easier for the reader in this sense. In addition, the work contains important information about the religious beliefs and traditions of many communities, ancient scholars, some branches of science and Turkish beliefs. While transferring the information given in our study into today's Turkish, we tried to compare it by making use of the Islamic sources of the period, Byzantine sources, Crusader Chronicles, Armenian and Assyrian chronicles, and to correct some historical and literary errors.
