Scope and content

Letter from W.E.D. Allen to Victor Louis Ménage in which Allen discusses existing translations of Celebi's first three volumes by Von Hammer which he praises. He also discusses issues arising from the unwillingness of Turkish authorities to help in presenting Celebi's work for political reasons including his favorable depictions of Armenians and Kurds as well as the reality of his Ottoman identity which Allen feels clashes with the new more European identity contemporary Turks prefer to adopt. Dated: 23 April 1960.
