Summary/Abstract: Sebîlürreşâd, one of the most important publications of the Ottoman printing history and Islamist literary magazines, is also a long-standing journal that stands out with its productive writers who shaped the intellectual life of the period. The staff of Sebîlürreşâd consisted not only of reporters whose life and intellectual productions have been studied but also those whose life and literary works have remained unrevealed. S.M. Tawfiq is among the latter. In the literature, S.M. Tawfiq, who is known for his articles published mainly in the Sebîlürreşâd journal under the heading Letters from India was actually an active journalist who is important in terms of the II. Constitutional era Turkish press as well as the Farsi press which published simultaneously in Istanbul. In new studies carried out over a century after the period in which the visibility of the Ottoman press disappeared, light has been shed on S.M. Tawfiq's life which has remained in the dark until now to reveal that his career was not limited to Sebîlürreşâd or Letters from India which have been frequently cited in the related literature but includes an important rich collection that he has devoted his life to. This article has been prepared to establish an independent bibliography for the various articles of the reporter whose full name was Sayyid Muhammad Tawfiq Hemedanî and who used the signatures of S.M.T. [.ت. م. س ] and S.M. Tawfiq [فوت ی ق. م. س ]to sign his hundreds of articles which were published in various periodicals of the II. Constitutional era and his original books, the contents of which are very interesting.
