There are over 275 Ottoman Turkish and Cagatay manuscripts in
Canada, including more than 200 in the collection of Professor
Eleazar Birnbaum. These are remarkable in terms of age (mostly 15th
to 17th century) and subject range. The descriptions in this
catalogue are unusually detailed: they include author, title,
subject, contents, first and last words, date of manuscript,
calligraphy, foliation, dimensions, and the location of similar
manuscripts elsewhere. Among other special features are details of
watermark designs in the paper (useful for dating undated
manuscripts), descriptions of seals and notes of previous owners,
and many colour illustrations. The catalogue also describes all
Turkish manuscripts in the three other small Canadian collections:
at the University of Toronto, McGill University (Montreal), and the
Royal Ontario Museum.
