This study titled History of the Literature of Military Art and Science during the Ottoman Period (OASLT) is the fifth book in the History of Ottoman Scientific Literature Series. It covers the years 1299-1923 in Ottoman history and geography and deals with the authors and their works that comprise books, treatises, reprints, maps, etc., about military art and science. The works of known authors are followed by anonymous works that were written during the same period and within the same geography. The present book contains information about 762 authors who compiled works in the fields of military art and science. However, there is also considerable number of works by unknown authors. The works, which this study focuses on, are divided according to the following subjects: Military laws and regulations; military literature; military geography; military art and science; military engineering; talimnames (books describing the duties and regulations pertaining to all military branches) ; health and hygiene; ballistics; aphorisms of famous commanders in history on subjects of military art and science and warfare; statistics; vocabulary books (military terms and expressions) ; weapons; cannons and gunnery; guns; machine guns; tanks; infantry, the cavalry; the gendarme; marksmanship (training and the use of various light and heavy weapons) ; tabiye (fortification and strategy) ; reconnaissance, signals and transportation; maps and sketches, maneuvers; aviation-airplanes-balloons; archery; staff officers; the training of non-commissioned officers; the duties of the supply corps. This study informs the readers on works written in various languages, namely Turkish, Arabic, French and German.10 works were written in more than one language. The main objective of this book is to present information on the literature of military art and science during the Ottoman period for the benefit of the readers and researchers, to provide facilities for those who do research in this field and guide them in their studies.

Imagination has always been recognised as an important faculty of the human soul. As mediator between the senses and reason, it is rooted in philosophical and psychological-medical theories of human sensation and cognition. Linked to these theories was the use of the imagination in rhetoric and the arts: images had not only an epistemological role in transmitting information from the outside world to the mind's inner eye, but could also be used to manipulate the emotions of the audience. In this tradition, with Cicero and Quintilian as its «auctoritates», images were used to arouse and manipulate the emotions. Both traditions had to be revalued in the seventeenth century with the advent of a mechanist, Cartesian picture of human cognition and the physical world. In spite of their usual suspicion of imagination, which was commonly associated with illusions, dreams and fiction, seventeenth-century philosophers realised that the imagination also had its place in mathematical, scientific and philosophical thinking.This volume, number XII in the series «Groningen Studies in Cultural Change», offers the papers presented at a workshop on imagination, organised by the editors in September 2002. It covers both the philosophical-psychological as well as the humanist-rhetorical traditions, discussing key figures such as Kilwardby, Lorenzo Valla, Leon Battista Alberti, Agricola, Gianfrancesco Pico, Erasmus, Paracelsus, Kepler, Bacon, Suárez, Descartes and Spinoza, but also treating hitherto neglected texts and writers such as Nicholas of Amsterdam and Jean Lemaire de Belges. By focusing on the ever-shifting ideas of the imagination as a philosophical and rhetorical tool, this volume not only deepens our understanding of its central theme but also sheds new light on the thought and writings of these and other authors.
