Description

Fahreddin Reşad Bey (1867–1943) – Mehmed Nâbi Bey (1868–1924), Editors.

Istanbul: Matbaa-yi âmire 1334 [1918].

After World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, diplomat Fahreddin Reşad Bey (also known as Rumbeyoğlu Fahreddin Bey or Rumbeyoglu Fahr al-Din Bey, 1867–1943) and Mehmed Nâbi Bey (1868–1924), who served as Minister of Foreign Affairs beginning in October 1918, released several government publications about foreign affairs administration in former Ottoman territories and border regions at the conclusion of the war. These publications were based on documents held at the state archives.

The present work compiles transcriptions of documents related to Kuwait from 1901 to 1918. The agreement signed on July 29, 1913, between the Ottoman Empire and the United Kingdom, which delineates the boundaries of Ottoman jurisdiction concerning Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the Shatt al-Arab, by Edward Grey and Ibrahim Hakki Pasha, is provided in both Ottoman and French languages.

We could trace three holdings located in Western institutions: the Bavarian State Library, the Bamberg University Library, and the Princeton University Library.
