Notes
The moral character of the endowment had a great place in the Ottoman Caliphate, as the endowments and their institutions flourished in this great state to a degree close to imagination, and their capabilities in this era reached a high level that the endowments had not seen in the eras of Islamic history. The endowment was an integral part, in all aspects of life and livelihood, and on this basis, the endowments enjoyed a high and prestigious position in the Ottoman Empire, and became an essential part of its civilization. In short, the endowments were not left behind. The Ottoman Empire is one of the social fields, and there is no Ottoman land that has not entered it and provided services to its people, in all aspects of life to the smallest details. The endowment libraries, with their large number, are an important part of these endowments inherited from the great Ottoman Empire, where they have served throughout the ages with all generosity and generosity, and continue to serve science, knowledge and culture in all its forms, all segments of society without fragmentation or fanaticism, and their services have continued without defect or negligence. Even during periods of adversity and internal and external crises for the state, when countless schools and libraries were established, everyone was competing in collecting books, establishing libraries, and providing services there to scholars, students, and readers with all passion and love, and in this they were competing, starting from the Caliph and the Sultan to the common people, who were able to make an endowment, even if only in a small way. In this context, this study aims to examine “endowment libraries in the Ottoman Empire,” mentioning their types, services, and contents to the extent that the size of the study can bear it.
