Ottoman and European Music in ʿAlī Ufuḳī’s Compendium, MS Turc 292: Analysis, Interpretation, Cultural Context: Volume 1: Edition and Volume 2: Critical Report

ʿAlī Ufuḳī’s Compendium, MS Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Turc 292, is an extraordinary source in many regards. Compiled approximately between the 1630s and 1670s by the Polish-born Ottoman court musician and interpreter ʿAlī Ufuḳī (Wojciech/Albert Bobowski/Bobovius), it is a highly individual source and represents an astonishing transcultural achievement. In the context of predominantly oral composition and transmission, from which ʿAlī Ufuḳī translated repertoire into an alien system of notation, Turc 292 plays a crucial role in the historiography of Ottoman music. Alongside medical and other various records it contains musical notations and song texts from the most diverse genres, styles and traditions as well as numerous comments and explanations. Forming a unit with the monograph (Schriften zur Musikwissenschaft aus Münster, Volume 25, 2019), the present volume contains the critical edition of the music-related material in Turc 292.
