George Kiraz, Sabine Schmidke and Alexander Treiger, Reconstructing the Disiecta Membra of Köprülü, Mehmed Âsım Bey, 1 bis (Gorgias Press, 2026)
A facsimile edition of Ms. Istanbul, Köprülü Library, Mehmed Âsım Bey 1 bis, a composite Christian Arabic manuscript with contents including Arabic New Testament witnesses, a lectionary, and Christian Arabic doctrinal, legal, and canonical texts. Beyond its textual contents, the manuscript provides important evidence for the circulation, fragmentation, and reassembly of Christian Arabic books in the Ottoman period, as well as for the precarious survival of Christian Arabic materials within Islamic library collections.
