Objectives of the Course
|
TLL 308 aims to develop a qualified knowledge on Ottoman bureaucratic conventions and protocols through analyzing more advanced Ottoman texts. Developing further familiarity both with the paleographic features of the archival sources and their historical context at the same time is a chief purpose that this course wants to achieve.

Course Content
|
For students who have become fairly able to read Ottoman Turkish, after a point it becomes important to tackle readings in Ottoman historical texts, involving various types and styles of handwritten sources from different periods, starting with late and advancing to earlier examples. TLL 308 presents a framework suited to a close study of a wide range of such bureaucratic and intellectual texts, noting their historical contexts as well as stylistic and linguistic features. Hence it provides a final piece of extra training in intermediate-to-advanced Ottoman paleography, as well as enhanced source knowledge, before students begin moving on to their own research projects.

Reading basic Ottoman texts in their original script and a basic understanding of Ottoman grammar and vocabulary using reading materials in the form of printed text are required. Students who prove their reading skills up to the level of more advanced texts, which mean sophisticated and complicated archival documents, can take this course only by entering and passing the exam prepared and executed by the Ottoman-Turkish Commission of the History Department prior to the beginning of the semester.
