It is the earliest example of three imprints in Adolf Holzhausen Printing House of Wien, in the Ottoman Turkish language according to the Özege catalogue. Adolf Holzhausen (1868-1931) was an Austrian publisher and bookseller. He was the son of Adolf Holzhausen the Elder (1827-1892), the head of the Viennese court, and the university's book printing company. He was trained in the family business (his father had owned the Manzsche book printing company since 1858). Holzhausen learned the typesetting of oriental scripts, and also provided the company with oriental letters. He later founded the university book printing company and his own publishing house, which mainly published art books and historical works. After the First World War, he was promoted to the head of the Military Geography Institute. Also, he suggested that Austrian educational book publishers worked together.
