Anatolian Seljuks according to el Veledü'ş Şefik ve Hafidü'l Halik

Much to our regret we don't have too many primary sources that explain Seljuks' conquests in Anatolia and the process of their expansion on these lands. El-Evamirü'l-Alaiyye fi'l-Umuri'l-Alaiyye which was written in the year of 1282 (680 H.) by Nasıruddin Hüseyin bin Muhammed who is also known İbn Bibi, Müsameretü'l-Ahbar ve'l-Hafidü'l-Halik which was written in the year of 1323 (723 H.) by Aksarayi Kerimüddin Mahmud and Tarih-i Al-i Selçuk which was written in the year of 1323 (723 H.) by unknown writer are main sources on this issue. Aside from the works mentioned above, the work of Niğdeli Kadı Ahmed who is writer of el-Veledü'ş-Şefik ve'l-Hafidü'l-Halik which was written in the year of 1333 (733 H.) would be evaluated on this category to a certain degree. To be a brief book on the history of Islam is difference of Kadı Ahmed's work from the earlier. In this study I have tried to explore the parts related with Anatolian Seljuks in the work of Kadı Ahmed by comparing with other sources and to manifest importance of this book from the point of history of Anatolian Seljuk. eywords: Niğdeli Kadı Ahmed, el-Veledü'ş-Şefik ve'l-Hafidü'l-Halik, Anatolian Selcuks, Primary Sources of Anatolian Seljuk.
