Sabev, Orlin. Waiting for Müteferrika: Glimpses of Ottoman Print Culture (Istanbul: Academic Studies Press, 2018)
Öz
The new study by Orlin Sabev, Waiting for Müteferrika: Glimpses of Ottoman Print
Culture, published in the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Series of the Academic Studies
Press, deals with the curious case of Ibrahim Müteferrika’s 18th century printing press. The
title of Sabev’s study, which corresponds to the title of Samuel Beckett’s play ‘’Waiting
for 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 certainly
prompts questions related to the position of a modern reader regarding the subject (Who
do we perceive as waiting? Were they really waiting?) but also tries to solve the academic
confusion regarding the issue of print in the premodern Ottoman era.
