Ikbal Kutuphanesi (sold) (اقبال كتبخانه)
Ikbal Kutuphanesi (اقبال كتبخانه; fl. c. 1898 - 1935) was a bookshop and publisher based in Istanbul founded by Huseyin Bey. The Ikbal Kutuphanesi published works on a wide range of topics, specializing in history, geopolitics, geography, and education in addition to maps and atlases. Their early publications note their location as Bab-i Ali, suggesting a physical, and perhaps political and financial, proximity to the Ottoman state. It is unclear if the Ikbal Kutuphanesi initially had a physical location where it sold books, but by the time of the Turkish Republic, it had a shop in Sirkeci that was popular among the city's reading public. Reflecting both the cosmopolitanism and reforms of the late Ottoman period, the Ikbal Kutuphanesi published works in Ottoman Turkish, reformed Latinized Turkish, and Armenian, as well as dictionaries, language study guides, and bilingual works in German and English.
