This book is a study of the first Ottoman/Muslim printer Ibrahim
Muteferrika and his printing activity in the first half of the
eighteenth century. By reviewing the existing views in narratives
dating from the fifteenth through the nineteenth century and modern
scholarly works, most of them quite critically discussing the
relatively late introduction of Ottoman Turkish/Muslim printing,
the book argues that the delay was mainly due to the lack of an
appropriate printer who would be capable and eager enough to set a
printing house and whom the Ottoman authority could trust. By
focusing on Muteferrika's western-formed mindset the book detects
the influence of his printing enterprise upon the transition from
scribal tradition to print culture.
