The Sultan of Vezirs
Mahmud Pasha Angelovic served as Grand Vezir under Sultan Mehmed II, in the years following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, which were marked by an extensive imperial project, transforming the Ottoman principality into an empire. This book attempts to piece together the available evidence on Mahmud Pasha's Byzantine descent and family network, as well as his multi-faceted contribution to the founding of the new empire, through military leadership, diplomatic practices and architectural and literary patronage, considering also his execution and the creation of a posthumous legend presenting him as a martyr. Using Ottoman, Greek and Western sources, as well as archival material, this study focuses on the period of transition from Byzantine to Ottoman Empire and would be of interest to historians and other specialists studying that period.
Historicizing Sunni Islam in the Ottoman Empire, c. 1450-c. 1750
Articles collected in Historicizing Sunni Islam in the Ottoman Empire, c. 1450-c. 1750 engage with the idea that “Sunnism” itself has a history and trace how particular Islamic genres—ranging from prayer manuals, heresiographies, creeds, hadith and fatwa collections, legal and theological treatises, and historiography to mosques and Sufi convents—developed and were reinterpreted in the Ottoman Empire between c. 1450 and c. 1750. The volume epitomizes the growing scholarly interest in historicizing Islamic discourses and practices of the post-classical era, which has heretofore been styled as a period of decline, reflecting critically on the concepts of ‘tradition’, ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘orthopraxy’ as they were conceived and debated in the context of building and maintaining the longest-lasting Muslim-ruled empire.

Architecture and the Late Ottoman Historical Imaginary
While European eclecticism is examined as a critical and experimental moment in western art history, little research has been conducted to provide an intellectual depth of field to the historicist pursuits of late Ottoman architects as they maneuvered through the nineteenth century?s vast inventory of available styles and embarked on a revivalist/Orientalist program they identified as the ?Ottoman Renaissance.? Ahmet A. Ersoy?s book examines the complex historicist discourse underlying this belated ?renaissance? through a close reading of a text conceived as the movement?s canonizing manifesto: the Usul-i Mi?mari-i ?Osmani [The Fundamentals of Ottoman Architecture] (Istanbul, 1873). In its t...
Architecture and Hagiography in the Ottoman Empire
Based on a thorough examination of buildings, inscriptions, archival documents and hagiographies, this book uncovers the political significance of Bektashi shrines in the Ottoman imperial age. It thus provides a fresh and comprehensive account of the formative process of the Bektashi order, which started out as a network of social groups that took issue with Ottoman imperial policies in the late fifteenth century, was endorsed imperially as part of Bayezid II's (r. 1481-1512) soft power policy, and was kept in check by imperial authorities as the Ottoman approach to the Safavid conflict hardened during the rest of the sixteenth century. This book demonstrates that it was a combination of two...

Avrupalı Mevlevi
Sanatçıların yazdığı gurbet ürünlerinin hepsini imrenerek okumuşumdur. Öğretmenlik yaptığım yıllarda, "Ben de yurt dışına gitsem de böyle meyvelerle dönsem!" diye hayal ederdim. Zaman oldu, kader kalbimden geçenleri dua kabul etti ve hiç beklenmedik bir şekilde yolum gurbete düştü. Baudlaire'in, Balzac'ın, Victor Hugo'nun Paris'ine gitmek isterken Wolfgang Goethe'nin, Friederick Schiller'in, Raine Maria Rilke'nin, Günter Grass'ın, Jürgen Habermas'ın Deutschland'ına çıktı yolum... Almanya'da kaldığım altı yıl boyunca yaşadıklarım, gördüklerim, sezdiklerim ve okuduklarımdan bir sanat kumaşı dokumayı çok istedim. Zaman zaman not tuttum, zaman za...
