Description
Summary:A number of Persian manuscripts in the National Library of France (BnF) came from the Ottoman Empire. A study of the signs and stamps indicating possession of the manuscripts is highly instructive. Some names of those who possessed the works are found in the Sicill-i Osmânî while others are located in the historiographical lists or among Ottoman authors from the 16th-19th centuries. This study confirms the presence of the Persian language in the education of cultivated Ottomans and other personalities within the administration of the Ottoman Empire who read and wrote Persian.
