While the title might seem better suited to the former book than the latter, a line from the dedicatory poem ( to " S. A .", possibly Selim Ahmed ) at the start of the book helps explain Lawrence's interpretation of the Biblical " seven pillars " and their relevance to the Arab Revolt:

Sayed Aboul Dahab, Mohamed Essam Khaled, Mohamed Khaled El Said, Fathi Mohamed Kamel, Hamdi El Seoudi, Mohamed Hanafi El Gohari, Ahmed El Saharti, Ismail Mohamed Aly Selim, Medhat Mohsen Warda, Osman Hassan Farid, Mohamed Hamdi Osman, and Awad Abdel Nabi.

Selim I established Ottoman rule in Egypt, and created a naval presence on the Red Sea.

A highly ambitious plan to counter this conceived by Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, Grand Vizier under Selim II, in the shape of a Don-Volga canal ( begun June 1569 ), combined with an attack on Astrakhan, failed, the canal being abandoned with the onset of winter.

After gaining the throne after palace intrigue and fraternal dispute, succeeded as Sultan on 7 September 1566, Selim II became the first Sultan devoid of active military interest and willing to abandon power to his ministers, provided he was left free to pursue his orgies and debauches.

Kinross also says that Selim's reputation for drunkenness was solidified in his decision to invade Cyprus rather than supporting the Morisco Revolt ( 1568 – 1571 ) in Granada as well as in the manner of his death ; Selim died in the Topkapı Palace after a period of fever brought on when he drunkenly slipped over on the wet floor of an unfinished bath-house, getting a head injury.

In 1519 the Kingdom of Hungary concluded a three years ' truce with Selim I, but the succeeding sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, renewed the war in June 1521 and on 28 August captured the citadel of Belgrade.

In 1908, Frankel sold the diamond for $ 400, 000 to a Salomon or Selim Habib, a wealthy Turkish diamond collector, reportedly in behalf of Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey ; however, on June 24, 1909, the stone was included in an auction of Habib's assets to settle his own debts, and the auction catalog explicitly stated that the Hope Diamond was one of only two gems in the collection which had never been owned by the Sultan.

* In 1524, the Jews of Cairo were delivered on the 28th of Adar from the plot of Ahmad Pasha who sought revenge against the Jewish minter Abraham de Castro who had informed Selim II of Ahmad's plan to cede from the Ottoman Empire.

Mameluk Egyptian sultan Al-Ghawri was charged by Selim I with giving the Persian envoys passage through Syria on their way to Venice and harboring refugees.

The Mamluke Sultanate survived in Egypt until 1517, when Selim captured Cairo on 20 January.

The talents and energy with which Selim III was endowed had endeared him to the people, and great hopes were founded on his accession.

The Janissaries rose once more in revolt, induced the Sheikh-ul-Islam to grant a fetva against the reforms, dethroned and imprisoned Selim III, and placed his cousin Mustafa on the throne, as Mustafa IV ( 1807 – 08 ).

The pasha of Rustchuk, Mustafa Bayrakdar, a strong partisan of the reforms, collected an army of 40, 000 men and marched on Constantinople with the purpose of reinstating Selim III, but he came too late.

Aside from composing music, Selim III also performed on the ney ( reed flute ) and tanbur ( long-necked, fretted lute ).

Selim III was killed, but Mahmud was safely kept hidden by his mother and was placed on the throne after the rebels deposed Mustafa IV.

More threatening, however, was a truce signed with the Russians, which freed Mustafa Bayrakdar, a pro-reformist commander stationed on the Danube to march his army back to Constantinople in an effort to restore Selim.

Selim Hassan, writing in 1949 on recent excavations of the Sphinx enclosure, summed up the problem:

Selim I entered the Iranian capital of Tabriz in triumph on September 5, but did not linger.

Until the 16th century boza was drunk freely everywhere, but the custom of making the so-called Tartar boza laced with opium brought the wrath of the authorities down on the drink, and it was prohibited by Sultan Selim II ( 1566 – 1574 ).

Selim also received the title " Custodian of the Two Noble Sanctuaries ", Khadim al-Haramayn ash-Sharifayn in Arabic and Khâdim ül-Harameyn ush-Sharifeyn in Ottoman Turkish, from Barakat Effendi Grand Sharif of Mecca when conquering al-Hejaz and with it the Muslim Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina.
