The books printed at the press were 'mostly military or scientific and included Turkish translations of Fitte-Clave's Elémens de castramentation and Truguet's Tactique navale. Choiseul-Gouffier was keen to see printing re-established in Turkey, and there may well have been some degree of co-operation between his press and the refounding under Abdul Hamid I of the Turkish press (first established by Ibrahim Müteferrika), which led to the printing of Vauban's work on mines, the Fenn-i Lagim' (Navari, The Ottoman World).(Qty. 1)
