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]
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]
