Arabic into Turkish in the Seventeenth Century
Early modern Turkish was a miscellaneous language that borrowed not only words but also whole phrases and verses from Arabic and Persian. While the language was a miscellany, there nevertheless was considerable uniformity in the kinds of natural knowledge that made it to Turkish: almost everything pertained to a type of practice, like the making of drugs and almanacs, and there was almost nothing in the way of theory. While looking at translation…
Early Modern Ottoman Science: A New Materialist Framework
This article is a programmatic statement advocating a materialist reading of early modern Ottoman science. I argue that a history of science that is sensitive to the material life of Ottoman subjects will help scholars cut through the unwarranted vocabulary of “Islamic science,” “Westernization” or “Ottoman civilization.” Two mini studies substantiate the programmatic claims. The first study presents a preliminary reinterpretation of the earliest…

This leaves us needing a clear and punchy basic message, supported by a solid, well-structured, and inclusive story line that also doubles as world history. This response takes a look at the prospects and prob…
Science Studies and Early Modern Ottoman Science
This short essay focuses on three issues: how science studies may facilitate the rapprochement between the philological study of scientific texts and Middle East history; how it may help us reconsider ambiguous if not “black-boxed” terms such as the “state,” “Islam,” and the “West”; and finally, how it may build thematic and theoretical bridges with other histories and geographies of science currently emerging from a more global, and not merely l…
