Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 4to (28.5 cm), 184 pp. Publisher's laminated boards (minor shelf-wear). Text in Dutch and English. Published to accompany the exhibition "Turkish Books: The Oriental Collection of Levinus Warner, Dutch Diplomat in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul", this well-illustrated volume explores the remarkable library assembled by Levinus Warner (1619-1665), a pioneering Dutch orientalist and diplomat stationed in Istanbul. Drawing on manuscripts and printed books collected during his residence in the Ottoman Empire, the catalogue documents the scope and intellectual significance of Warner's collection, which later formed the foundation of Leiden University Library's Oriental holdings, and includes scholarly essays and detailed entries that illuminate the transmission of Ottoman, Arabic, and Persian learning to early modern Europe.
