Till Grallert<p>This is a first: فروق was an Ottoman newspaper published in Athens in 1911. But apparently they didn’t have access to movable-type and lithographed a handwritten paper using a printed template to print into. </p><p>Facsimiles are available from HTU at <a href="http://www.tufs.ac.jp/common/fs/asw/tur/htu/data/HTU0661/index.djvu" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tufs.ac.jp/common/fs/asw/tur/h</span><span class="invisible">tu/data/HTU0661/index.djvu</span></a></p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OttomanEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OttomanEmpire</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Greece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Greece</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Printing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Printing</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/lithography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lithography</span></a></p>

Till Grallert<p>Last week, I pushed metadata for some 700+ Ottoman Turkish periodicals published mainly between the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 and the end of the empire to <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Wikidata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikidata</span></a>. Data is based on Baykal's wonderful index (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004394889" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">doi.org/10.1163/9789004394889</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>). </p><p>Together with the Arabic periodicals added earlier this year, coverage of periodical history beyond English, French or German on Wikidata is pretty good. Thanks to these efforts, English is now severely under represented (percentage of periodicals represented on Wikidata): <a href="https://w.wiki/ArRb" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">w.wiki/ArRb</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. </p><p>Arabic is the second most prominent language (after English) and Ottoman the ninth. Swedish is a surprising third and, given the difference in the number of speakers, quite astonishing that there were at least c.2750 Swedish newspapers published before 1930 compared to the grand total of c.3000 Arabic titles in the same period.</p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MultilingualDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MultilingualDH</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/dh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dh</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalHumanities</span></a></p>

Till Grallert<p>Cursory checking my collection of newspaper scans, it seems that the phenomenon is more common than I thought. And apparently I did not pay attention to this material aspect of periodicals when reading them as sources for my research on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Damascus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Damascus</span></a>. <br>The next stamp is from a copy of *Thamarāt al-Funūn* (ثمرات الفنون) also published in Beirut. This time the scan is from a private collection of the editor's heirs and held by the German Orient-Institut Beirut (OIB).</p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabPeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArabPeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/BookHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookHistory</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MaterialHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaterialHistory</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeriodicalStudies</span></a></p>
Till Grallert<p>Dear <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/BookHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BookHistory</span></a> hive-mind, I just came across a weird phenomenon: stamps on newspapers underneath (!) the printed text. The title in question is the magazine/ journal *al-Maḥabba* (المحبة), published in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Beirut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Beirut</span></a> from 1899 onwards (OCLC: 902810773). I have not seen this in other papers from the period and region.<br>Currently I can only speculate as to the background to this practice. Since nobody bothered to remove the stamps before printing these might have been there to document some status of the printing paper.<br>- stamp duty on paper?<br>- officially supplied paper?</p><p>Does anyone have an idea?</p><p>Sample images can be found at <a href="https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_48/768.jp2/full/800,/0/color.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119</span><span class="invisible">_1_7_48/768.jp2/full/800,/0/color.jpg</span></a> or <a href="https://images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119_1_7_40/640.jp2/full/2000,/0/color.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">images.eap.bl.uk/EAP119/EAP119</span><span class="invisible">_1_7_40/640.jp2/full/2000,/0/color.jpg</span></a></p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabPeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArabPeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ArabicPeriodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArabicPeriodicals</span></a></p>

Till Grallert<p>I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my data-driven research on late Ottoman <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Arabic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Arabic</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Periodicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Periodicals</span></a> at <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DigHis23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigHis23</span></a>. The paper introduces stylometric authorship attribution for answering the question whether editors/publishers of magazines could or should be considered the authors of the bulk of anonymous texts in their periodicals. The method relies on collaborative work with Maxim Romanov on establishing parameters for reliable authorship attribution in Arabic for the `stylo()` package in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/R" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>R</span></a> (<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rstats</span></a>). </p><p>Slides are available at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/dighis23-grallert" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">tinyurl.com/dighis23-grallert</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MultilingualDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MultilingualDH</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalHumanities</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DigitalHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalHistory</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/PeriodicalStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeriodicalStudies</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Stylometry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stylometry</span></a></p>
