Product Description

This publication presents the first critical edition of a Crimean Karaim anthology of Karaim and Turkish literature called Mejuma, which is an adaptation of the Ottoman Turkish Word Mecmua. It was copied by Eliyahu ben Yoself Qilci in Bahcesaray between 1903-1904 and in 1910. The language of the most part of this manuscript is Crimean Turkish with a substantial admixture of Crimean Tatar and Karaim Grammar and vocabulary. In this anthology the reader may explore a rather little known Turkic speaking minority in the Crimea, which existed on the crossroads of various cultures
