Tedkîk-i Mesâhif ve Müellefât-ı Şer‘iyye Meclisi mushaf basımı Osmanlı İslamî matbuat sansür
There are numerous studies conducted in different disciplines about the development
of the Muslim printing activities in the Ottoman Empire as well as the theme of “Islam
and print;” however, the vital role the modern state played in controlling and approving
religious publishing has not been sufficiently examined. The late Ottoman Empire
witnessed, as part of the bureaucratic reorganization of the state, the establishment of
different institutions to inspect printed books and publications. Toward the end of the
19th century, two institutes in the name of Teftîş-i Mesâhif-i Şerife and Tedkîk-i Müellefât
Encümeni were founded, respectively, to examine printed mushaf (Qur’anic codex) and
Islamic books. During the Second Constitutional era, the Tedkîk-i Mesâhif ve Müellefât-ı
Şer‘iyye Meclisi emerged out of their unification. The Council played a pivotal role in the
Ottoman state’s shaping of Islamic publishing. In this study, the institutional development
of Tedkîk-i Mesâhif ve Müellefât-ı Şer‘iyye Meclisi; its jurisprudence; the criteria it applied
in evaluating the books submitted for print approval are examined. This study is one
of the first most comprehensive examinations of the Council through primary archival
sources. In addition to studying this council, which was one of the most significant institutes
of the Ottoman religious bureucratic apparatus, this article traces the stages of the
Qur’an and Islamic book publishing in the Ottoman Empire. It analyzes various religious
and non-religious factors applied by the Tedkîk-i Mesâhif ve Müellefât-ı Şer‘iyye Meclisi
and related state institutions in approving and controlling Islamic publications.
