sA vigorous translation scene across the 19th-century Ottoman
Empire government and private, official and amateur, acknowledged
and anonymous saw many texts from European languages rewritten into
the multiple tongues that Ottoman subjects spoke, read and wrote.
Just as lively, however, was translation among Ottoman languages,
and between those and the languages of neighbours to the east. The
proliferation and circulation of texts in translation and
adaptation leads us to ask: What is an 'Ottoman language'? This
volume challenges earlier scholarship that has highlighted
translation and adaptation from European languages to the neglect
of alternative translations, re-centring translation as an Ottoman
'hub'. Through 8 collaboratively written case studies, stretching
linguistically and geographically from Bengal to London, Istanbul
to Paris, Andalusia to Bosnia, it peers over the shoulders of
working translators to ask how they creatively transported texts
between as well as beyond Ottoman languages. In doing so, it also
ponders broader issues of cultural transfer and culture production
in the Ottoman Empire, its European and Arabophone territories and
south Asia in a period of emerging nationalist ferment.
