Summary
Merv, a historic city in Central Asia, emerged as a pivotal center of learning and culture during the Islamic Golden Age. Strategically located along the Great Silk Road and nourished by fertile lands, Merv served as the administrative heart of Khurasan under Abbasid rule before transitioning to Seljuk dominance. The study highlights its significance as a hub for libraries that attracted scholars and travelers from across the Islamic world, shaping regional civilization. By analyzing historical records, this research underscores Merv's enduring legacy in Turkish-Islamic history, offering insights into medieval governance, urban development, and intellectual exchange.
