Reviews

"The catalogue of manuscripts in the Koprulu Library is undoubtedly a valuable and much needed work and may be evaluated as the best processed catalogue published in recent years in Turkey." Vojtech Kopcan, Asian and African Studies, XXV (1989)

"The compilers have to be congratulated on preparing a very good range of indexes. The catalogue is neatly presented and constitutes a mine of information." Adam Gacek, BRISMES Bulletin, XIV, 2 (1988)
