""If, like me, you are a bit tired of the ethnocentric social commentary that seems to come with certain well known guidebooks then you could do worse than try this one. Simple to use, well written and accurate, I found it invaluable and couldn't fault any of its recommendations nor descriptions."" -- Yurt (Amazon reviewer) Turkey is so diverse it could almost be described as a continent rather than a country. In the west, mountains and pine forests frame a staggeringly beautiful coastline. The central steppe has the peculiar rock churches and underground cities of Cappadocia and the cosmopo

Camondolar 19. yüzyıl boyunca finans, kültür ve sanat alanlarında birçok başarıya imza atmış bir aile. Yabancı fin an s kaynaklarıyla Osmanlı Sarayı arasında bir köprü oluşturan bu aile aynı zamanda Galata, Pera, Karaköy ve Tophane semtlerinin yeniden imarına öncülük etmiş ve şehrin bugünkü çehresine kavuşmasına da katkıda bulunmuştur. Yahudi cemaati için yaptıkları modern eğitim çabalarıyla adlarından söz ettiren Camondolar, bir dönem İstanbul'da zenginliğin ve modernliğin simgesi olmuşlardı. 1869'da Paris'e göç eden aile, kısa zamanda burada da İtibar kazanmış ve özellikle sanat hamisi olarak ünlenmiştîr. Paris'in en önemli kültür merkezlerinden olan Champs-Elysees Tiyatrosu ve 18. yüzyıl sanatının seçkin örneklerinin sergilendiği Nissim-de-Camondo Müzesi, ailenin Paris sanat dünyasına kazandırdıkları arasındadır. Isaac de Camondo'nun Louvre Müzesi'ne hibe ettiği ve Degas, Monet, Manet gibi empresyonist ressamların başyapıtlarından oluşan elli tabloluk koleksiyon da müzeye yapılan en büyük kişisel hibe olarak tarihe geçmiştir. Bu başarılara rağmen, Camondo ailesinin hikâyesi bir esrar perdesiyle örtülüdür. Ne olmuştur da bu itibarlı aile unutulup gitmiş, müşterek hafızadan silinmiştir? Nora Şeni ve Sophİe Le Tarnec akıcı bir anlatımla kaleme aldıkları bu kitapta belgelere dayanarak “Camondo esran”nı çözüyorlar.

Spies, Scandals, and Sultans is the first English translation of a fascinating and acidly critical portrait of the Ottoman capital of Istanbul during the days of the Sultan Abd al-Hamid. This is the first time that the text, written by an Egyptian journalist and politician, has been available since 1896. Originally published as a series of newspaper articles in the mid-1890s, and then as a book entitled Ma Hunalik, the text was ordered to be banned and burned by the Sultan's representatives in Cairo. The ban was carried out, but a few copies survived, one of which has been used f

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. For centuries, the Mosque of Eyüp Sultan has been one of Istanbul’s most important pilgrimage destinations, in large part because of the figure buried in the tomb at its center: Halid bin Zeyd Ebû Eyûb el-Ensârî, a Companion of the Prophet Muhammad. In this book, however, Timur Hammond argues that making a geography of Islam involves considerably more than this figure alone. Tracing practices of storytelling and building projects from the final years of the Ottoman Empire to the early 2010s, Placing Islam shows how different individuals and groups articulated connections between people, places, traditions, and histories to make a place that is paradoxically defined both by powerful continuities and a radically reconfigured relationship to the city and world beyond. This book provides a rich account of urban religion in Istanbul, offering a key opportunity to reconsider how we understand the changing cultures of Islam in contemporary Turkey.

This book is about the Christ Pantokrator, an imposing monumental complex serving monastic, dynastic, medical and social purposes in Constantinople, founded by Emperor John II Komnenos and Empress Piroska-Eirene in 1118. Now called the Zeyrek Mosque, the second largest Byzantine religious edifice after Hagia Sophia still standing in Istanbul represents the most remarkable architectural and the most ambitious social project of the Komnenian dynasty. This volume approaches the Pantokrator from a special perspective, focusing on its co-founder, Empress Piroska-Eirene, the daughter of the Hungarian king Ladislaus I. This particular vantage point enables its authors to explore not only the architecture, the monastic and medical functions of the complex, but also Hungarian-Byzantine relations, the cultural and religious history of early medieval Hungary, imperial representation, personal faith and dynastic holiness. Piroska's wedding with John Komnenos came to be perceived as a union of East and West. The life of the Empress, a "sainted ruler," and her memory in early Árpádian Hungary and Komnenian Byzantium are discussed in the context of women and power, monastic foundations, architectural innovations, and spiritual models.

Constantine of Rhodes's tenth-century poem is an account of public monuments in Constantinople and of the Church of the Holy Apostles. On one level, the poem offers an account of what was visible but it cannot be read as a straightforward description. Rather, Constantine's work offers insights into Byzantine perceptions of works of art. This book supersedes the two previous editions of the poem, both dating to 1896, and provides the first full translation of the text. It consists of a new Greek edition of Constantine's poem, with an introductory essay, prepared by Ioannis Vassis, and a transla

La cuisine d'Istanbul au xixe siècle, c'est la richesse et le raffinement de la cuisine ottomane. Qu'il s'agisse de la cuisine du Palais ou celle des habitants de la ville, musulmans, chrétiens, juifs, elle est l'héritière des cultures culinaires nomades turques, arabes, seldjoukides, byzantines. Sur la base de l'examen des livres de cuisines et des comptes du Palais ottoman au xixe siècle, l'auteur analyse les manières de table, l'organisation des espaces de préparation culinaire, les ustensiles, la hiérarchie des cuisiniers, les plats, les repas, les techniques culinaires… La cuisine d'Istanbul au xixe siècle s'inscrit clairement dans la continuité de la culture culinaire ottomane des siècles précédents. Toutefois des distinctions culturelles émergent, consécutives aux changements politiques, sociaux et économiques de l'Empire ottoman à partir des années 1830. L'adoption des manières de table de style occidental, l'adaptation partielle de certaines techniques culinaires françaises, la diffusion de nouveaux ingrédients (surtout des végétaux d'origine américaine) et l'apparition des nouveaux moyens de sociabilité autour du repas provoquent des transformations discernables dans la culture culinaire d'Istanbul au xixe siècle.
