An Ottoman Mentality
In his huge travel account, Evliya Çelebi provides materials for getting at Ottoman perceptions of the world, not only in areas like geography, topography, administration, urban institutions, and social and economic systems, but also in such domains as religion, folklore, sexual relations, dream interpretation, and conceptions of the self. In six chapters the author examines: Evliya’s treatment of Istanbul and Cairo as the two capital cities of the Ottoman world; his geographical horizons and notions of tolerance; his attitudes toward government, justice and specific Ottoman institutions; his social status as gentleman, character type as dervish, office as caller-to-prayer and avocation as traveller; his use of various narrative styles; and his relation with his audience in the two registers of persuasion and amusement. An Afterword situates Evliya in relation to other intellectual trends in the Ottoman world of the seventeenth century.
Treasures of Knowledge: An Inventory of the Ottoman Palace Library (1502/3-1503/4) (2 vols)
The subject of this two-volume publication is an inventory of manuscripts in the book treasury of the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, commissioned by the Ottoman sultan Bayezid II from his royal librarian ʿAtufi in the year 908 (1502–3) and transcribed in a clean copy in 909 (1503–4).

Tevhid
Eski şairlerimiz divanlarının başında Allah'ın varlığını, birliğini, kudretini, esma ve sıfatlarını anlatan manzumelere yer verirlerdi. Fuzûlî de bu geleneğe uymuş, divanının başında bir Tevhid manzumesine yer vermiştir. Divan şairleri tarafından beğenilen ve nazireleri yazılan Tevhid, şairin zamanında geçerli olan tefsir, hadis, kelam, fıkıh gibi dinî; mantık, felsefe ve tıp gibi müspet ilimlere olan vukufunu göstermesi bakımından çok önemli bir eserdir. Fuzûlî, bu eserinde öğretici kuruluğa düşmeden estetik bir kurgu içinde hazmettiği bilgileri şiire dönüştürme başarısını göstermiştir. Bu kitapta, şairin bu ünlü eseri günümüz okuyucusunun istifadesine sunulmuştur. Osmanlı Türkçesi öğrenenlere bir kolaylık olması için metnin eski harflerle yazılmış biçimi de eklenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Tevhid'e dikkatleri çekerek Fuzûlî'nin, şairliği yanında ilmî yönü de hatırlatılmış, şiirinin anlaşılması amaçlanmıştır. [Etkileşim Yayınları]

An Iridescent Device: Premodern Ottoman Poetry
Ten experts in premodern literature and history examine the style, genre, and performance of sixteenth century Ottoman poetry. A large number of poems, including a newly discovered imperial poem collection and the work of a poet fallen into oblivion, are discussed with regard to their multifarious functions and their contemporary lyrical appeal. Though most of these poets worked in conventional settings many of the articles in this volume point out how they broke taboos, glossed over violence, and promoted or questioned political rule, even as they appealed to their listeners on an emotional level. The authors provide ample evidence for the importance attributed to certain cities and places, as well as local affiliations and networks. These analyses show how premodern poetry operated as a tool of communication and formed an integral part of premodern social and political life.
Music of the Ottoman Court
Between 1600 and 1750 Ottoman Turkish music differentiated itself from an older Persianate art music and developed the genres antecedent to modern Turkish art music. Based on a translation of Demetrius Cantemir’s seminal “Book of the Science of Music” from the early eighteenth century, this work is the first to bring together contemporaneous notations, musical treatises, literary sources, travellers’ accounts and iconography. These present a synthetic picture of the emergence of Ottoman composed and improvised instrumental music. A detailed comparison of items in the notated Collections of Cantemir and of Bobowski—from fifty years earlier—together with relevant treatises, reveal key aspects of modality, melodic progression and rhythmic structures.
