Abstract
Hilmi Omar Budda (1894-1952) has played a significant role in the process of institutionalization
of History of Religions in Turkey. He, who was the first academician in the field of History of
Religions in Turkey, lectured for many years in Dâru’l-Funûn (Ottoman University) Faculty of
Divinity, which was found in 1924. Then he worked in department of Institute of Islamic Sciences,
which was a branch of Istanbul University Faculty of Arts, by pursuing his same position and
career. After that, Budda lectured in Ankara University Faculty of Divinity, which was found in
1949, as the first academic person of the department of History of Religions. Budda, who wrote
many scientific studies and trained a large number of students during his academic life roughly
thirty years, filled a gap in the field of History of Religions in the early years of republic period.
Even though there are some scientific problems in his writings and views on issues, this article
deals with Budda’s contributions to the History of Religions and his role in the formation of such
a discipline in Turkey. This study, besides, mentions about Budda’s academic sides by analyzing
his scientific writings composed of books, articles and columns.
