Over the centuries they have collected a wealth of source texts in different languages, of which Turkish texts play a prominent role. These independent volumes are from a series on Turkish manuscripts that have been kept in public libraries and museums in the Netherlands. Jan Schmidt is lecturer in Ottoman Studies at Leiden University. He has published widely on various aspects of Ottoman history and literature and is the author of A Catalogue of the Turkish Manuscripts in the John Rylands University Library at Manchester published by Brill (2011).
