Recenzii
"..finding a publication that so deeply mines its core text for discussion and presents it to the reader from myriad angles rather than simply offering a facsimile or transcription bereft of analysis or contextualization is very welcome. Indeed, the book’s comprehensively cross-disciplinary nature is an impressive achievement and highlights the value of scholars from different fields working together for mutual benefit. The many subjects represented in the inventory, such as philosophy, medicine, theology, and Sufism, are capably outlined and analyzed. Much exists in these volumes that researchers in these numerous fields will find useful and interesting. However, the work will of course also be valuable to scholars in other subjects not directly represented in ʿAṭūfī’s inventory, such as library studies and the history of collections, the history of art and architecture, and women’s studies... Those desiring to publish complex primary sources should pay attention to the approach taken by the volume editors, both in terms of the wide-ranging publication itself but also to the preparatory workshop stage. Although access to the necessary resources is unfortunately not equally available across institutions, this publication demonstrates what might be achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration and a sensitivity to the contexts surrounding a primary source and its subject matter."
Cailah Jackson in: Nazariyat Volume 6, Issue 2 (2020).
"...the extensive case study presented in this publication will certainly constitute a key reference work for further research on the history of libraries in the post-medieval Ottoman and Muslim world."
Fabrizio Speziale in: Bulletin of SOAS
"...eine inhaltlich unendlich ergiebige Verzeichnis in zwei üppig illustrierten Bänden".
Klaus Kreisner in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, June 10, 2020.
“Netice olarak diyebiliriz ki bu envanter sadece basit bir kütüphane envanteri değil, bunun çok ötesinde tarihî değer taşıyan bir vesikadır. Treasures of Knowledge adlı eser, gerek otuzdan fazla değerli müellifi, gerek hacmi, gerek kapsamı ve derinliği açısından Türk-İslam kütüphaneleri tarihi alanına anıtsal bir katkıdır. Ayrıca eser bu tarz tarih vesika ve belgelerin nasıl çalışılması gerektiği konusunda da güzel bir örnektir. Bundan dolayı bu eserin yayınlanmış olmasını büyük bir mutlulukla karşılıyor, bir an önce Türkçeye kazandırılması ya da en azından yurdumuzun önemli kütüphanelerinde yerini almasını canı gönülden temenni ediyorum.”
Hüseyin Şen in: Yeni Şafak, October 15, 2021.
“As for the publication as a whole, it is a very wide-ranging and important contribution to Ottoman cultural studies which does indeed justify the imposing title Treasures of Knowledge.”
Muhammad Isa Waley, British Library in: The Muslim World Book Review Volume41, Issue 4 (2021).
“In sum, this two-volume set is a detailed work of philological and analytic labor, completed by a team and targeted towards specialists in Ottoman, Islamic, and Early Modern Intellectual and Literary History. Given that the inventory contains 7,200 titles in about 5,700 volumes, with many of the extant copies scattered around various collections, the task at hand was truly gargantuan. The work is thus a great service to scholarship that historians, philologists, art historians, and historians of science will make recourse to for many years to come. Moreover, for anyone who would like to browse the library of an Ottoman sultan, these volumes offer them their chance.”
