Giovanni Molino's Dittionario Della Lingua Italiana, Turchesca
(1641), is the first extensive Turkish dictionary of its kind, with
nearly 8000 lexical head entries excerpted, not from the Ottoman
literature, but the everyday Turkish language, the vernacular for
at least a part of the population of 17th century Constantinople.
Molino, born Armenus Turcicus Yovhannes of Ankara, was exposed to
the Turkish language from childhood, unlike other authors of the
known 'texts in transcription". In Armenian cultural history, he is
remembered as a man of letters, a publisher and the translator of
religious texts, whose services to the history of the Turkish
language and the corresponding contribution to Ottoman Turkish
culture were to this date unknown. The editor has reversed and
reorganised the material of the lexicon from Italian-Turkish to
Turkish-Italian. The lexical entries of Molino's dictionary are
presented according to morphological and phonological principles,
with their orthographic variants side by side, revealing
information on the morpho-phonological patterns of Ottoman-Turkish
at that time. The language Molino recorded sounds almost like
contemporary Turkish and can be considered a bridge to the modern
Turkish language.
