Persian in the Lands of Rum: Texts, Translations and Courtly Patronage
A.C.S. Peacock
Abstrak
Persian texts composed in Anatolia both in the pre-Ottoman and Ottoman periods have received scant scholarly attention, and Persian remains perceived as an alien language. This article presents an overview of Persian in Anatolia and the Ottoman empire from the twelfth to nineteenth centuries. It argues that in the medieval period Persian texts were more widely disseminated than is often assumed, and goes on to analyse the changing fate of Persian over the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the reasons for its eclipse by Turkish. Finally, it presents manuscript evidence to suggest that even in the later Ottoman period, Persian was far from being restricted to a source of literary models.
