İbrahim Müteferrika

Japanese: イブラヒム・ミュテフェッリカ(英語表記)İbrahim Müteferrika
İbrahim Müteferrika
Around 1674-1745
Ottoman official and diplomat. Born in Cluj, Transylvania, as the son of a Christian, he was educated as a priest, but converted to Islam and served the Ottoman Empire, mainly in the field of diplomacy. There are various theories about the circumstances of his conversion. He is known as the person who introduced movable type printing to the Ottoman Empire. Since 1493, non-Muslim subjects in the Ottoman Empire had opened movable type printing shops in their own languages, but there was strong opposition from religious circles to movable type printing in Arabic characters, and there were no printing shops.

オスマン朝の官人,外交官。トランシルバニアのクルジュでキリスト教徒の子として生まれ,聖職者としての教育を受けたが,イスラムに改宗しオスマン朝に仕え,主として外交の分野で活躍した。改宗の事情については諸説がある。彼はオスマン朝への活版印刷術の導入者として知られる。オスマン帝国領内では,1493年以来,非ムスリム臣民は各自の言語により活版印刷所を開設していたが,アラビア文字による活版印刷に対しては宗教界の反発も強く印刷所もなかった。
