Ottoman Science Heritage, this two-volume work, the six-year-old Ottoman scientific heritage, which began thirty years ago, was completed in 18 volumes of the giant work of a kind of extract, the crown of the head. Turkey and the outside world's leading institutions of cooperation and IRCICA and Ekmeleddin this unique work created in Ihsanoglu's leadership has chaired its many years of Ottoman time arithmetic, algebra, astronomy, medicine, pharmacy, physics, chemistry, science disciplines such as geography the studies and articles covered. In 52 countries, I would recommend that this large piece of work arises from 527 collections and catalogs. - Professor. Dr. Kemal H. Karpat, University of Wisconsin Mr. Ihsanoglu explains how he contacted those who did similar work in the contested areas at the entrance to the Ottoman Science Heritage. For example, he conveys his meeting with Cambridge historian Joseph Needham in Cambridge and his observations and observations in the preparation of his work Science and Civilization in China. The most accurate resource to be used in preparing a comprehensive work is the workshop of similar studies. Here is the preparation of the Ottoman History of Science Literature (OBLT). OBLT, which was completed in 18 volumes, has been designed since 1985 and started to come into life. Istanbul, Anatolia and Thrace in writing collection, inventory of science by screening collections published outside of Turkey are found. The Ottoman Science Heritage is the beginning of an end to the insistence and failure of the Turkish intellectuals to not know the history of their sciences. The Ottomans preserved and enriched the culture and heritage of the Islamic world. Especially in the field of natural sciences and technological knowledge has made important contributions. Between 1922 and the conquest of Istanbul there is a continuity in this issue. As such works spread, the most harmful attitude for historical thought and knowledge is wholesale. Whosoever judges have little or no view of the world view and history, they are less knowledgeable, unable to make inventory and cannot evaluate it. Unfortunately, this attitude of our country's scientific institutions also live to some extent. It is clear that we owe gratitude to our teachers and writers. The other works of the author and author in front of you are from this sentence. I believe that this work will greatly benefit Turkish science, students and general readers. As in the publications of IRCICA, we hope that it will be translated into English, Russian and Arabic. - Professor. Dr. İlber Ortaylı, Galatasaray University We now know that there is nothing remarkable in the Ottoman scientific heritage, but the prejudices and ignorance that feed on each other. The most important role in the emergence of this awareness in the past decades is undoubtedly Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, who, on the one hand, focuses on the original sources and evaluates them in depth. In these two volumes, you will find the projection of a research and thought adventure that transforms the history of Islamic civilization and Ottoman history, not only in the history of science but in its most general framework. Moreover, because of the language skills exhibited and mastery of various science techniques, you will enjoy an intellectual elegance at the first glance, which makes it possible for all curious readers to find matters that may appear severe. - Professor. Dr. Cemal Kafadar, Harvard University
