Arabic-Type Books Printed in Wallachia, Istanbul, and Beyond : First Volume of Collected Works of the TYPARABIC Project Hardback
Edited by Radu-Andrei Dipratu, Samuel Noble
Part of the Early Arabic Printing in the East series
Hardback
Description
　 This first volume of Collected Works of the ERC Project TYPARABIC focuses on the history of printing during the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire and the Romanian Principalities among diverse linguistic and confessional communities.
Although "most roads lead to Istanbul," the many pathways of early modern Ottoman printing also connected authors, readers and printers from Central and South-Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the Levant. The papers included in this volume are grouped in three sections.
The first focuses on the first Turkish-language press in the Ottoman capital, examining the personality and background of its founder, İbrahim Müteferrika, the legal issues it faced, and its context within the multilingual Istanbul printing world.
The second section brings together studies of printing and readership in Central and South-East Europe in Romanian, Greek and Arabic.
The final section is made up of studies of the Arabic liturgical and biblical texts that were the main focus of Patriarch Athanasios III DabbÄs’ efforts in the Romanian Principalities and Aleppo. This volume will be of interest to scholars of the history of printing, Ottoman social history, Christian Arabic literature and Eastern Orthodox liturgy.
