The Place and Importance of Turkish Incunable Printings in the History

Abstract

The most important step for the literature world between "the invention of writing" and "transition to computer technology" is the starting of use of printing house led by Gutenberg and its proliferation. This innovation that affected the progress of history has also created its own terminology along with distinctive practices. The first printed book and the term incunable used to express the printing process of these books is one of them. For Turkish book printing that has been quite late to incorporate printing house, there is a period defined with this term, and printing houses which have been active during this period and printed books exist. It would be the best way to try to define with the values fed by Turkish cultural and social life in determining the period of “Turkish incunable” which is defined between different dates almost in every study. It should be remembered while giving the definition and the period that "Turkish incunable" has an honorable place for both our printing house' start and its development until our day. The experiences of Turkish incunable printings have encouraged the ones intended to be active in this field, eased and shortened the way to do it.
