RESEARCH LEADS
Layer 3 Inference: The session bridges classical Ottoman manuscript preservation in Western academic repositories (Princeton) with 19th-century Central Asian stone-lithography printing (taş basma), illustrating the evolution of Turkic book production from manuscript copyists to early printing presses in Kokand, Kashgar, and Bukhara.
SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY
Episode 377 investigates two major Turkic textual witnesses: a manuscript copy of Rövnəqü’l-Bostan held in the Princeton University Library collections, and a 19th-century Central Asian Chaghatay stone-lithograph (taş basma) historical chronicle.
The speaker opens with a review of previous Qadirî Sufi texts and a motivating reflection on the global dispersion of Turkic intellectual heritage across international libraries.
Object A (Rövnəqü’l-Bostan, Princeton holding) features a traditional leather-over-pasteboard binding (gön cilt), historical library stamps, and sophisticated multi-colored frame ruling (black and red ink) surrounding the Turkish prose text.
The Princeton codex exhibits evidence of historical moisture damage and ownership seals that were partially obscured or stamped over in later periods.
The session transitions to examine a 19th-century Chaghatay lithograph chronicle originating from Central Asia (Kokand/Kashgar/Bukhara sphere).
Through on-screen analysis and external verification, the lithograph text is identified as a vital historical source on East Turkistan, specifically chronicling the mid-19th-century revolt of Vali Khan Töre in Kashgar, compiled by Muhammad Niyaz ibn Abdulgafur.
Paleographic evaluation confirms the text is a stone-lithograph (taş basma), characterized by uniform Nastaʿlīq/Naskh printing and upper-margin pagination typical of 19th-century Central Asian print culture.
Methodological standards are maintained by clearly distinguishing between physical codicological observation, lithographic print analysis, and historical contextualization.
The session contributes to the master corpus by documenting both manuscript treasures in Western universities and regional printed lithographs of Central Asian history.
The episode concludes with expressions of gratitude and intellectual renewal.
PUBLICATION / WEB ARTICLE
Orta Asya Tarihi ve Taş Basma Eserler: Princeton Nüshası Rövnəqü’l-Bostan ve Kaşgar Kronikleri
Türk dili ve edebiyatının yazılı mirası, yalnızca İstanbul ve Anadolu kütüphanelerinde değil; Avrupa, Amerika ve Orta Asya’nın pek çok akademik merkezinde muhafaza edilen yazma ve taş basma (taş basma / lithograph) eserlerle devasa bir coğrafyaya yayılmaktadır. Bu eserler, özellikle XIX. yüzyılda Kaşgar, Hokand ve Buhara gibi merkezlerde üretilen kroniklerle Türkistan coğrafyasının siyasî ve toplumsal çalkantılarına ışık tutar.
bölümde, bu külliyatın iki mühim unsuru ele alınmıştır. İlk olarak, Amerika’daki Princeton Üniversitesi Kütüphanesi’nde muhafaza edilen Rövnəqü’l-Bostan adlı eser incelenmiştir. Meşin kaplı cildi, zamanla solmuş renkli panelleri, tahrip edilmiş mülkiyet mühürleri ve metin bloğunu çevreleyen siyah-kırmızı çok katmanlı cetvelleriyle dikkat çeken bu nüsha, klasik yazma eser geleneğinin Batı kütüphanelerindeki varlığını somutlaştırmıştır.
Oturumun ikinci kısmında ise XIX. yüzyılın ortalarında Orta Asya’da kaleme alınmış ve taş basma tekniğiyle çoğaltılmış Çağatayca bir tarih kroniği mercek altına alınmıştır. Muhammad Niyaz ibn Abdulgafur kaleme alınan ve Doğu Türkistan (Kaşgar) bölgesinde yaşanan Vali Khan Töre’nin üsyanını (The revolt of Vali Khan Töre) ayrıntılı bir şekilde anlatan bu eser, bölge tarihi açısından birinci sınıf bir kaynak niteliği taşımaktadır. Nasta‘lîq karakterli taş basma baskı tekniği, XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Orta Asya’daki matbaa ve neşriyat faaliyetlerinin gelişimini gözler önüne sermektedir.
Bu yönüyle oturum, klasik yazma eserlerden modern taş basma kroniklere uzanan geniş bir yelpazede Türkistan hafızasını tahlil etmiştir.
