This volume deals with the numerous grammatical passages included in the voluminous Kitāb al-‘Ayn, the earliest Arabic dictionary (8th century). This material is isolated and classified according to its various grammatical categories and then analyzed, taking due account of the current knowledge of the state of Arabic grammar in its early stage of development. The much disputed attribution of Kitāb al-‘Ayn to h̬alīl b. Aḥmad is reconsidered from the vantage point of this grammatical material. This reconsideration involves a critical study of the vast medieval literature about ̬alīl's personality and the question of attribution of this early Arabic dictionary. In addition to the author's analysis, the volume includes an appendix with citations of the original grammatical passages of this dictionary with useful indices.
The collective volume Ottoman Cyprus - New Perspectives presents new studies on various topics (primarily history, but also history of art, folklore and literature) about Cyprus in the Ottoman period (1571-1878), offering new approaches on the history of institutions and developments in Cyprus during the Ottoman period, in an attempt to propose new interpretative frameworks and a more analytical reading of the historical past. The book is divided into four parts: The first part concerns the history of the island from the eve of the Ottoman conquest until the cession of the island to British administration. The studies of this part follow a chronological order, and analyze developments in Cyprus as an Ottoman province and part of the Empire's periphery. In the second part there are studies that analyze various particular historical topics, without necessarily following a chronological order. In the third part there are studies on literature, folklore and art. The fourth part includes an extensive bibliographical guide, a catalogue of archives and archival material related to Cyprus in the Ottoman period, as well as chronological lists of important officials.
Coğrafyamızın her köşesi nice ünlü-ünsüz civanmerde şâhittir. Kastamonu da, yetiştirdiği bir çok ilim ve devlet adamı ve maneviyat önderinin yanı sıra bağrından çıkan kahramanlarıyla bilinir. Geçmiş ile gelecek arasında Kastamonu’nun ruh derinliğinden yansımalarını göreceğimiz bu kitapta kahramanlar zaman sırasıyla yer almaktadır: Girit Serdarı Hüseyin Paşa, Baltacı Mehmed Paşa, Elmas Mehmed Paşa, Moldovancı Ali Paşa, Fahreddin Paşa, İşkodra kahramanı Hasan Rıza Paşa, Enver Paşa ile amcası Halil Kut Paşa ve kardeşi Nuri (Killigil) Paşa, Kafkasya kahramanı Hâlid Paşa, Dadaylı Hâlid Bey ve Şerife Bacı.

Sahip olduğumuz bu değerleri minnetle hatırlamayı ve gençlerimize tanıtmayı bir vefa borcu olarak kabul ediyoruz.
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of linguistic studies on space in Turkish. Considering that such a fundamental semantic category is ripe for further research and acknowledging that such processes may be challenging, any shortcomings in this book can be more comfortably evaluated within scientific tolerance. Whether this book, which is neither the first nor the last research on space in Turkish, is of high quality will be determined over time; however, it can be said with humility and ease of mind that it is a modest start in its field. A research book should be original, and the researcher should discover something others have yet to say (Eco, 2018). From a dialecti...

Kimdir yüzsüz bilir misin? Şu dünyanın geçiciliğini unutup, ömür yolculuğunda sevgi yerine parayı kendine kıble edinmiş menfaat tiryakisi zavallılardır. Onlar, hayatın gerçek güzelliklerini hiçbir zaman hissedemezler. Sevgi ve saygıdan habersiz, kıraç bir ömür sürerler.Onlar, iyilik ve kötülüğü birbirinden ayırt etme cevherini bütünüyle yitirmiş insansı yaratıklardır. Onlar, ruhları kendilerine ait değilmiş gibi yaşarlar.Bencillik şarabıyla kendinden geçmiş, sarhoş olmuş, kimseden ne beklenir ki? Aslında bir bilseler! Kendilerini kaybetmiş olduklarını.Fakat kudret ve imkan yok. Onların yüreği, kara bir örtü ile örtülüdür. Onları, bu dünyanın çıkış kapısının eşiğinde sabırsız ateş bekler.
This two-part volume offers a comprehensive account of the conflict between the Ottoman and Mamluk Empires. Part One explores Ottoman-Mamluk relations from their inception in the middle of the fourteenth century to the laying of the foundations of the conflict in the second half of the fifteenth century. Part Two offers a detailed description of the actual war of 1485-91, and analyzes it from various angles including military, economic, and diplomatic. Based largely on Ottoman, Mamluk and Italian primary sources - documentary and narrative - the volume helps to understand the second and final war between the Ottomans and Mamluks in 1516-17, which resulted in the downfall of the Mamluk Empire and the firm establishment of Ottoman power in the Middle East.
