Just as lively, however, was translation \u003ci\u003eamongst \u003c\/i\u003eOttoman languages, and between those and the languages of their neighbours to the east. This proliferation and circulation of texts in translation and adaptation, through a range of strategies, leads us to ask: What \u003ci\u003eis \u003c\/i\u003ean 'Ottoman language'?\u003cbr\u003eThis volume challenges earlier scholarship that has highlighted translation and adaptation from European languages to the neglect of alternative translations, re-centring translation as an Ottoman 'hub'. Collaborative work has allowed us to peer over the shoulders of working translators to ask \u003ci\u003ehow \u003c\/i\u003ethey creatively transported texts between as well as beyond Ottoman languages, with a range of studies stretching linguistically and geographically from Bengal to London, Istanbul to Paris, Andalusia to Bosnia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Booth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399502581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399502580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d","brand":"Marilyn Booth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906744832255,"sku":"9781399502580","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01c4ac15-136e-4336-99a0-cff7c92681cb.jpg?v=1748771299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ottoman-translation-marilyn-booth-9781399502580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
