| Summary: | This paper endeavors to give a quick view of the Ottoman
manuscript (Osmanlı elyazmaları) collection at Sayyid Muhammad Naquib
Al-Attas Library (SMNAL) of the International Institute of Islamic Thought
and Civilization (ISTAC) International Islamic University Malaysia
(IIUM) by reviewing a published catalog. The Ottoman manuscripts, which
mean texts written in the Ottoman Turkish language, were collected during
the first part of the 1990s, inventoried, and cataloged during the early period
of ISTAC. The collection possesses two hundred manuscripts on diverse
subjects. This makes the SMNAL the most pertinent library in Southeast
Asia, a place hoard of Ottoman Turkish manuscripts. This initiation of
acquiring a certain number of Ottoman manuscripts by Sayyid Muhammad
Naquib al-Attas which seems to have been purchased in the late decades of the
twentieth century is no doubt an opening towards the path to the study of the
Ottoman civilizational and intellectual eco-system among the Malay scholars
and students of the Ottoman studies (Turcologists). |
