Or. 14.221-8 Eight folders which comprise a part of the personal archive of J.H. Kramers, ‘found in the library’, December 1974. Jan Hendrik Kramers (1871-1951) was dragoman at the Dutch Embassy in Istanbul between 1915 and 1921, lecturer in Turkish and Persian (from 1921), and professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies (from 1939) at Leiden University. He was keeper of the Oriental manuscripts at the Leiden University Library (‘interpres legati WamerianV) from 1940 to 1951. Apart from scholarly activities, a substantial part of the papers found here and in other parts of his archive are related to Kramers main task in Istanbul, that of reporting on the local ‘Pan-Islamic’ press. Drafts and annotations are mostly in Kramers handwriting. At least ten reports were sent to the Dutch Foreign Ministry in The Hague and are preserved in the General State Archives there. The papers also show an interest in Ottoman law; Kramers had been a law student and defended a thesis on the administration of justice in criminal cases involving
