note = {The manuscript Vienna, Cod. A. F. 26, Luġat-i Emīr Ḥüseyin
al-Ayāsī is what we today would call a draft copy of a
Persian-Turkish-Latin dictionary. The Viennese court librarian
Sebastian Tengnagel (d. 1636) had access to a Turkish captive named
Dervīş İbrāhīm and let him copy what was sent to Tengnagel by the
Leiden librarian Daniel Heinsius (d. 1655), today part of the
University Library of Leiden, Cod. Or. 227 and formerly in the
possession of Joseph Justus Scaliger (d. 1609) but entitled Luġat-i
Niʿmetullāh. In my article, I will take Tengnagel’s dictionary
project as a case study to show how the combination of the tradition
of Ottoman lexicography, together with the language skills of an
Ottoman Turkish captive near Vienna, influenced further known
lexicographical works of early modern European scholars.},
