|  | The Coptic Pentateuch and Arabic Gospels by Paul de Lagarde
Written in the days when textual criticism was still relatively new, and the great mass of manuscripts commonly used by present-day biblical scholars had not yet been plumbed, Lagarde spent many years making these exotic manuscripts available to scholars who previously had no access to them. In this volume are combined two manuscripts: the Pentateuch translated into Coptic, and the Gospels translated into Arabic. Despite the relatively recent dates of the manuscript sources for both collections, the material contained in these translations dates back to earlier days. Each of these translations is introduced in German with some critical notes about the readings included. |

This monograph of the religious life of the late Ottoman Empire covers several significant features of the Turkish religious landscape. Beginning with the westernizing reforms at the turn of the nineteenth century, Alkan notes the role of the ulema in this reform before considering Sultan Abdülmecid and the Tanzimat Period. He then traces the early growth of the Babis from the rule of Necib Pasha in Iraq and the opposition to the Babis. The role of Iran in the growth of the Babi faith, focusing on the activities of Baha’u’llah characterizes the Ottoman Reform Elite. The development of Baha’i in the context of the Young Ottomans and other “fathers” of Ottoman constitutionalism is explored and Alkan considers the Iranian reformers as well as the Young Turks in relation to the Babis in nineteenth-century Istanbul. ‘Abdu’l-Baha in the Ottoman context of the turn of the century and the Kemalist reform round out the discussion. Indispensable for historians of Islamic breakaway religions, Alkan’s monograph fills a gap in many accounts of emergent religions.
Necati Alkan studied at Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany and has continued his research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Istanbul.
