Abstract
It is very exciting and important that a unique collection including Hebrew and Arabic documents, hailing from all over the Mediterranean countries, especially from the 11th through the 13th centuries, has been found in the so-called Cairo Geniza or Genizah. The Hebrew word geniza (or genizah) [גניזה] (“hiding” or “hiding-place”) means a storage area or a storeroom in a Jewish synagogue and cemetery. These geniza places are designated for the temporary storage of worn-out Hebrew-language books and papers on religious topics before proper cemetery burial. According to the information given by Cambridge University Digital Library, it is located there, one of these geniza documents which is numerated as T-S H5.111 and it is written in Hebrew and Arabic. In this article, we try to explain the Arabic verso page of this document which mentions an “affair of the Turks”. We want to point this issue out to Turkish researchers especially. Furthermore we discuss some new opinions.
