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.
