| Popis: | The new study by Orlin Sabev, Waiting for Müteferrika: Glimpses of Ottoman PrintCulture, published in the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Series of the Academic StudiesPress, deals with the curious case of Ibrahim Müteferrika’s 18th century printing press. Thetitle of Sabev’s study, which corresponds to the title of Samuel Beckett’s play ‘’Waitingfor Godot’’, signals to the reader that the topic in hand is related to a complex subject,where the question of timing of printing itself becomes controversial. The title certainlyprompts questions related to the position of a modern reader regarding the subject (Whodo we perceive as waiting? Were they really waiting?) but also tries to solve the academicconfusion regarding the issue of print in the premodern Ottoman era. |
