Usama Nasir al-Naqshabandi, in al-Mawrid 20 ii (1991).  According to the
folks at interlibrary loan here at Duke Univ. this Baghdad series is
present in American libraries only up to 1991.

I desperately need a copy of this article and would gladly cover
reproduction and shipping expenses.

Yunus Emre

Here's a question for Turkish studies experts - and since it will
probably look stupid to you, I guess I just have to say I'm not an expert!

What language did Yunus Emre write in? Since he died around 1320, it
seems to me it's a little too early for his language to be what we
consider to be Ottoman. And if it's not Ottoman, what is its language
code in a cataloging record?

Thanks,

Re: Yunus Emre

Cathy -- The technical term is Early Anatolian Turkish (which is
actually closer to Ottoman Turkish than Chaucer's Middle English
is to Shakespeare's tongue). In Yunus's day, the Ottomans were still
just one of several emirates in Anatolia and not the dominant power
they would become by the end of the 14th century. But for purposes of
cataloging, I'd suggest sticking with the language code for Ottoman:

Hi Friends. This Midhat Abraham. I hope you are all preparing 
to attend MELA in December as it is not too early to start 
making hotel reservation.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have any 
information on the cost of outsourcing original cataloging 
for Hebrew books. Do you know of any vendor who is doing 
this? Do you have info. on the cost per book? Any info. from 
anyone on this subject will be appreciated. Thanks.

Midhat Abraham.
