Özet:

Examining the Ottoman tafsir legacy is important for the recognizing and promoting the scientific culture of the past. In this regard, the subject of this review is the extended version of Mustafa Öztürk's article titled "A Panoramic View of the Ottoman Tafsir Tradition". In this book, it is criticized that the Ottoman period is not adequately addressed in the history of tafsir and the understanding that commentary and annotation were dominant in this period. While presenting Ottoman tafsir studies between the 14th and 19th centuries, they are classified as classical and modern periods. The book, which draws attention with its periodical features and evaluations, mentions many works that can be the subject of research on Ottoman tafsir literature. In this study, the perspective he draws about the Ottoman period is evaluated while introducing the relevant book.
