Summary: Two important methodological problems that confront anyone giving an account of Ottoman developments are those of transcription and of bibliographical systematization. The following rules have been followed in the present work with regard to transcription: Proper names of Ottoman-Turkish statesmen are spelled with the resources available in the modern Turkish alphabet in such a way as to approximate a transcription of their Arabic alphabet originals. Special diacritical signs devised for transcription systems are not used. Thus: "Ahmed" is used rather than the more current modern Turkish spelling "Ahmet"; "Midhat," rather than "Mithat"; "Subhi," rather than "Suphi." The proper names of persons who were prominent in Otto man cultural history but were not "Ottomans" are spelled as they are spelled in Turkey nowadays, with the Encyclopaedia of Islam transcription following in parentheses immediately after the first mention of the name in the text. Thus: Celaleddin-i Devvanî (Djalal al-din al-Dawwani).
