Page 2594 of the Bilinmeyen magazine interview. In the photograph at the bottom of the page, the covers of different volumes of Gizli İlimler Hazinesi (1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th Book) are seen together. The photo caption reads: ‘A few volumes of Gizli İlimler Hazinesi. İloğlu says he is very saddened that his works are used for malicious purposes.’
On this page İloğlu recounts that he wrote the work over about 15 years, drawing on many manuscripts he read and on precious Arabic works he found in Beirut, Aleppo and some other countries; that his books are read from Anatolia across all European countries, America and Australia. He also says that UNESCO in Beirut tried but failed to translate the work into English, and that it was later translated in France. He complains that some pages of his books were copied without permission and put on the market as forged editions.
