====Turkish==== Ottoman encyclopedist [[Hadji Khalifa]] (17th century) recognized three classes of musical instruments in his ''[[Kâtip Çelebi#Names of books|Kashf al-Zunun an Asami al-Kutub wa al-Funun]]'' (''Clarification and Conjecture About the Names of Books and Sciences''), a treatise on the origin and construction of instruments. This was exceptional for a [[Near East]]ern writer, most of whom, like Near Eastern culture traditionally and early [[Hellenistic Greece|Hellenistic Greeks]], ignored the [[percussion instrument]]s because it regarded them as primitive.<ref name="Kartomi1990"/>
