In his interview with Bilinmeyen magazine, Mustafa İloğlu recounted that UNESCO in Beirut tried but failed to translate Gizli İlimler Hazinesi into English; and that afterwards, in France, a female medium who worked at the magazine Horoscope and read the future by gazing into a mirror translated the work into French because she knew Turkish, and hosted him in France for three months.
The image here, from İloğlu’s archive, is a French medium advertisement from the period resembling what was described: ‘GINA — Une étoile de la voyance’; services such as horoscope, Arab mirrors (miroirs arabes) and palmistry, with Mâcon and Cannes addresses.
Important note: the connection between the person in the advertisement and Mustafa İloğlu has not been verified by a document. The image is presented only to exemplify the kind of medium İloğlu described, and with reference to his statement.
