Necip Âsım Bey’s work titled Orhun Abideleri was first published in 1924, Rumi 1340, and was reprinted a year later without any changes to the text.
We first transcribed the second edition dated 1341 (1925) into the Latin alphabet and then revised the text by comparing it with Açık’s (2019) thesis, which contained many errors and incomplete readings based on the first edition dated 1340.
We took care to correct some of the errors that were frequently encountered in the writing of the Göktürk letters in the book and to provide the necessary information about the changes we made.
99 years after its publication and on the 100th anniversary of our Republic, we are happy to republish this work transcribed into the Latin alphabet.
