Malumat (Ottoman Turkish: The Information), also known as Musavver Malumat (Ottoman Turkish: The Pictorial Information), was an Ottoman weekly literary and political magazine which was published in Istanbul in the period 1894–1903.[1] It was circulated during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamit and was one of his supporters.[1] Renée Worringer, a Canadian scholar on the Islamic and Middle East history, describes Malumat as the mouthpiece for Yıldız Palace which refers to the Hamidian era.[2]
History and profile
[edit | edit source]Malumat was started in 1894, and the first issue appeared in February 1894.[1] Its license holder and publisher was Mehmet Tahir who was an ardent supporter of Sultan Abdulhamit with whom he had close connections.[1] Another figure related to the magazine was Artin Asedoryan who was cited as the owner from 1895 to the 48th issue.[3] Malumat appeared on Thursdays and billed itself as a literary, scientific and political journal.[1] However, its political content became much more salient than its literary material.[1] It contained both Ottoman Turkish and French articles.[4] Notable contributors included Tevfik Fikret, Cenap Şahabettin, Ahmet Rasim,[5] Yusuf Akçura, Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın, Ahmet Muhtar Paşa, Ahmet Mithat and Nazif Sururi.[1]
In Beirut an Arabic edition of Malumat was published entitled Al Malumat.[3] One of the rivals of Malumat was Servet-i Fünun, a progressive avant-garde Ottoman literary magazine.[1][6]
Malumat, Al Malumat and Servet, a newspaper also published by Mehmet Tahir, covered news accusing the Dutch colonial rule of being hostile to the Muslims living in the Dutch East Indies, including Java.[3] Upon these news the Dutch ambassador Wilhelm Ferdinand Heinrich von Weckherlin sent a note to the Sultan demanding the cancellation of these publications.[3] The request of the Dutch was followed for a while, but the news continued from 1901.[3] Malumat folded in 1903.[1]
