Le Moniteur ottoman [1] was a newspaper written in French and first published in 1831 on the order of Mahmud II. [2] It was the first official gazette of the Ottoman Empire, edited by Alexandre Blacque at the expense of the Sublime Porte. [2] Its name perhaps referred to the French newspaper Le Moniteur Universel . It was issued weekly. [3] Mahmud II wished to influence Europeans. [4] Takvim-i Vekayi was published a few months later, intended as a translation of the Moniteur into Ottoman Turkish. [2]

History

Le Moniteur ottoman was the first Ottoman bulletin. It was apparently inspired by Muhammad Ali's Al-Waqa'i' al-Misriyya , published in Egypt since 1828. [5]

After having been edited by former Consul for Denmark "M. Franceschi", and later on by "Hassuna de Ghiez", it was lastly edited by Lucien Rouet. [6] However, facing the hostility of embassies, [7] it was closed in the 1840s. [6] The title of the publication was used in Othōmanikos Mēnytōr (Greek : Οθωμανικός Μηνύτωρ), the Greek edition of Takvim-i vekayi. [4]
