Über Turkish Language, Literature, and History
The chapters move between ancient and contemporary literature, exploring Sultan Selim¿s interest in dream interpretation, translating newly uncovered poetry and exploring the works of Orhan Pamuk. Linguistic complexities of the Turkish language and dialects are analysed, while new translations of 16th century decrees offer insight into Ottoman justice and power. This is a festschrift volume published for the leading scholar Bob Dankoff, and the diverse topics covered in these essays reflect Dankoff¿s valuable contributions to the study of Turkish language and literature.
