This 1988 textbook is an exceptionally rare academic publication from the Institute of Asian and African Studies (ISAA) at Moscow State University. Authored by the prominent Turkologist Elvira Alexandrovna Grunina, it remains one of the few comprehensive Soviet-era guides to the Ottoman-Turkish language—the sophisticated literary and administrative tongue of the Ottoman Empire that utilized the Arabic script and incorporated vast layers of Persian and Arabic loanwords.
The manual is designed for advanced Turkologists and historians, providing a systematic approach to the complex grammar and unique orthography of Ottoman Turkish. Grunina meticulously breaks down the phonetic transitions and the "triple" linguistic nature of the language, which served as the official vehicle for one of history's most powerful empires for over six centuries. The book includes vital exercises for reading historical documents, ranging from official firmans to classical poetry, making it an indispensable tool for researchers working with archival materials from the Sublime Porte.
What elevates this particular copy to the status of a museum-grade artifact is the presence of the author's autograph. Elvira Grunina's contribution to Turkic philology is immense, and a signed copy of her most specialized work is a prize for any academic collection. Furthermore, the print run was limited to a mere 400 copies, intended strictly for the specialized departments of the USSR's leading Orientalist centers.
For Ottoman historians, Turkologists, and collectors of academic rarities, this 1988 edition is a cornerstone acquisition. It represents a bridge between the tradition of Russian Imperial Orientalism and modern linguistic science, documenting the linguistic complexity of the Ottoman world through the lens of late-Soviet academic excellence.
