Talîm-i lisân-i Ermeni. The Tanzimat reforms from 1839 stimulated Armenian cultural activity in Constantinople and the port city of Smyrna now Izmir. The number of Armenian titles printed in the Ottoman capital grew exponentially throughout the next few decades. By the mid-nineteenth century Constantinople had regained its status as "the World Capital of the Armenian Book" for a new span of 40 years. Thereafter the fortunes of Armenian book publishing in Constantinople became hostage to political developments in the Ottoman Empire. Armenian printing stagnated during the repressive regime of Sultan Abdülhamid II but rebounded immediately after the 1908 Revolution. It almost ground to a halt during the First World War yet it was rejuvenated immediately after the Ottoman defeat. After Constantinople renamed Istanbul in 1930 was integrated into the Turkish Republic established by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Armenian cultural freedoms were curtailed the total number of Armenian books published declined although the city still remains an important center of Armenian-language book printing outside Armenia. This is a small and extremely rare Armenian linguistic book printed for the Ottoman / Turkish learners. OCLC: 1004312309 / 780182928.; Özege 19657. First and Only Edition. <br/> <br/> K.
