A special thank goes to Ingeborg Sonsuz from the German Embassy in Ankara for all the encouragement throughout my studies. Likewise, I would like to thank also Ahmet Evin for providing the necessary contacts with the German academia. I am most grateful to all the members Mioni family in Padua for all the hospitality that they have offered to me during my research in Italy. I would like to thank especially my friend Anna and her father Alberto Mioni, not only as a host, but also as an effervescent inspirer in academic matters. Without Professor Mioni's circle of Veneto academics, the present book would not have come to existence. In this respect, it has been a most felicitous event having met Paolo Preto from Padua University, whose contribution to the present work has been immense. I am also grateful to the most pleasant character of Gaetano Platania and his guidance into the Vatican libraries. The present book would have not existed, if it were not for the most full- hearted assistance and encouragement of the two women who have been my supervisors: namely Petra Kappert from Hamburg University and Nur Bilge Criss from Bilkent University in Ankara. I would like to thank them both immensely. It is impossible to do justice to all the people - as one says in Turkish - "who added some salt into the soup". Lastly, I thank my family for always having supported me in my projects.
