In the last five years, India has recovered 610 antiquities from six different countries. Among them, 559 were from the USA, the Modi government informed Parliament Monday.

610 stolen antiques were recovered between 2020-24, highest from USA, Modi govt tells Parliament

I'm interested in late Ottoman-period publications (books, periodicals, etc.) on antiquities/Antiquity (broadly defined) in the languages spoken/written in Anatolia: Ottoman Turkish, Greek, Karamanlidika, Armenian, Ladino, etc. If you could help, please PM me ([email protected]). I'd be grateful!
