Ottoman Turkish Psalms (OTAMEZ)

Overview

This volume contains the Book of Psalms (known as Zebur or Mezmurlar in Ottoman Turkish) translated into Ottoman Turkish. The Psalms were among the most frequently published biblical portions in Ottoman Turkish during the 19th century, with multiple editions produced by different translators [1][2]. Notable Ottoman Turkish Psalm translations include those derived from the Ali Bey/Kieffer text (first published as part of the 1827 complete Bible) and William Schauffler's independent translation of the Psalms, which appeared in 1867 as part of his broader Ottoman Turkish Bible translation project for the American Bible Society [2][3]. The specific source edition for this digital text is not identified.
