Özet:

The main axis on the thought ground of the Ottoman modernization indicates a fundamental change in the perception of the state. This change of perception is clearly seen in the translations of the basic political texts from the West to the Ottoman Turkish. It is also interesting that the Ottoman lights, who well assess the nation-state transformation in Europe, translate important works that change the political textile in the West through translations, from the point of view of timing. It has passed a hundred years since the translation of "Il Prince" translated into the Ottoman-Turkish in a very late history. In the period of the resurrection of a will imprisoned by international law under the power of the power; the "Royal" of Machiavelli, who describes the principle of legitimacy and wisdom in the Western sense, was published in the sunrise of the Ottoman Empire. In this study, the translation of the work of Machiavelli, made by Mehmet Sheriff Pasha, published in Istanbul in 1919, was studied by the "Royal" (Il Prince).
