This first volume of Collected Works of the ERC Project TYPARABIC focuses on the history of printing during the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire and the Romanian Principalities among diverse linguistic and confessional communities. Although "most roads lead to Istanbul," the many pathways of early modern Ottoman printing also connected authors, readers and printers from Central and South-Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the Levant. The papers included in this volume are grouped in three sections. The first focuses on the first Turkish-language press in the Ottoman capital, examining the personality and background of its founder, İbrahim Müteferrika, the legal issues it faced, and its context within the multilingual Istanbul printing world. The second section brings together studies of printing and readership in Central and South-East Europe in Romanian, Greek and Arabic. The final section is made up of studies of the Arabic liturgical and biblical texts that were the main focus of Patriarch Athanasios III Dabbās' efforts in the Romanian Principalities and Aleppo. This volume will be of interest to scholars of the history of printing, Ottoman social history, Christian Arabic literature and Eastern Orthodox liturgy.

L’Empire ottoman était aussi un empire maritime. Cette facette de sa nature a suscité chez les historiens un intérêt croissant depuis quelques années. Consacré à l’« insularité ottomane », le présent volume est une participation originale aux réflexions en cours. Son objet n’est pas de rassembler des monographies, mais de répondre à la question suivante : en quoi les îles étaient-elles des territoires différents des autres, avec des populations spécifiques, des problèmes spécifiques et des solutions spécifiques ? À partir de sources souvent inédites, les contributeurs s’interrogent ainsi sur la logique présidant à la conquête des îles, sur leur organisation et sur la façon dont la Porte considérait ces territoires un peu particuliers. Abordant également la question du point de vue des îles elles-mêmes, ils se penchent sur la composition ethnique et religieuse des sociétés insulaires, évaluent leur éventuel caractère de conservatoire ethnographique, examinent les modalités des communications des îles entre elles et avec le reste du monde, soulignent les problèmes de sécurité liés notamment au risque pirate. Enfin des éléments de comparaison avec d’autres insularités méditerranéennes permettent de mieux cerner les spécificités ottomanes. Un intérêt particulier est évidemment accordé aux îles méditerranéennes, mais d’autres îles ottomanes, qui n’avaient jamais fait l’objet d’études, sont également traitées : îles de la mer Rouge, îles du Danube.
