The Accidental Palace
This book tells the story of Yıldız Palace in Istanbul, the last and largest imperial residential complex of the Ottoman Empire. Today, the palace is physically fragmented and has been all but erased from Istanbul’s urban memory. At its peak, however, Yıldız was a global city in miniature and the center of the empire’s vast bureaucratic apparatus. Following a chronological arc from 1795 to 1909, The Accidental Palace shows how the site developed from a rural estate of the queen mothers into the heart of Ottoman government. Nominally, the palace may have belonged to the rarefied realm of the Ottoman elite, but as Deniz Türker reveals, the development of the site was profoundly connec...
A History of Ottoman Political Thought up to the Early Nineteenth Century
In A History of Ottoman Political Thought up to the Early Nineteenth Century, Marinos Sariyannis offers a survey of Ottoman political texts, examined in a book-length study for the first time. From the last glimpses of gazi ideology and the first instances of Persian political philosophy in the fifteenth century until the apologists of Western-style military reform in the early nineteenth century, the author studies a multitude of theories and views, focusing on an identification of ideological trends rather than a simple enumeration of texts and authors. At the same time, the book offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English.
Picturing the Ottoman Armenian World
The Armenian contribution to Ottoman photography is supposedly well known, with histories documenting the famous Ottoman Armenian-run studios of the imperial capital that produced Orientalist visions for tourists and images of modernity for a domestic elite. Neglected, however, have been the practitioners of the eastern provinces where the majority of Ottoman Armenians were to be found, with the result that their role in the medium has been obscured and wider Armenian history and experience distorted. Photography in the Ottoman East was grounded in very different concerns, with the work of studios rooted in the seismic social, political and cultural shifts that reshaped the region and Armeni...
Envisioning Islamic Art and Architecture
Envisioning Islamic Art and Architecture: Essays in Honor of Renata Holod is a collection of studies on the portable arts, arts of the book, painting, photography, and architecture spanning the medieval and modern periods and across the historical Islamic lands. The essays reflect the wide-ranging interests and diverse methodologies of Renata Holod and attend to the physical, material, and aesthetic properties of their objects, offer nuanced explanations of complex relations between objects and historical contexts, and remain critically aware of the shape of the field of Islamic art and architecture, its canonical objects, approaches, and historiographies. Essential reading for scholars working on Islam and the Islamic world in the disciplines of history of art and architecture, history, literature, and anthropology. With contributions by María Judith Feliciano, Christiane Gruber, Leslee Katrina Michelsen, Nancy Micklewright, Stephennie Mulder, Johanna Olafsdotter, Yael Rice, Cynthia Robinson, David J. Roxburgh, D. Fairchild Ruggles, Alison Mackenzie Shah, and Pushkar Sohoni.
East Meets West in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times
This new volume explores the surprisingly intense and complex relationships between East and West during the Middle Ages and the early modern world, combining a large number of critical studies representing such diverse fields as literary (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, and Arabic) and other subdisciplines of history, religion, anthropology, and linguistics. The differences between Islam and Christianity erected strong barriers separating two global cultures, but, as this volume indicates, despite many attempts to 'Other' the opposing side, the premodern world experienced an astonishing degree of contacts, meetings, exchanges, and influences. Scientists, travelers, authors, medic...

Siyasetname
Arap edebiyatına hizmet eden âlimlerden biri de İbn Arabşah’tır. İbn Arabşah, 791/1389 yılında Şam’da doğmuş henüz 12-13 yaşlarında iken Timur’un Şam’ı yakıp yıkmasından sonra ailesiyle birlikte Semerkant’a sürülmüştür. Timur’un tarihçisi olarak kaynaklara geçen ve farklı alanlarda bir dizi eser kaleme alan İbn Arabşah aynı zamanda bir siyaset bilimcidir de. Daha küçük yaşta iken gurbet çilesi ile yüzleşen bu zat, hayatının tamamını doğum yeri ve çocukluk dönemini geçirdiği yer olan Şam’dan uzakta yaşamak zorunda kalmıştır. İbn Arabşah’ın hayatını dört döneme bölmek mümkündür. Bunlar, erken gençlik ve eğitim dönemi, Orta Asya’da bulunduğu dönem, Çelebi Mehmed’in himayesinde Anadolu’da bulunduğu dönem ve Memluk Sultanı Melik Çakmak’ın yönetimindeki Mısır dönemi.
