"This small mosque, which was completed in 1561 for Rüstem Pasa, a grand vizier of Süleyman the Magnificent, houses one of the richest collection of underglaze polychrome Iznik tile revetments in Istanbul. The revetment tiles in the Mosque of Rüstem Pasa are generally acknowledged as an outstanding example of the unique richness and superb artistic achievement characteristic of the era of Süleyman the Magnificent. Representing an ostentatious culmination of centuries of evolution in the art of ceramics and tiles, the Rüstem Pasa tile revetments also reflect the perfection of ceramic art at a particular stage of its development. Their lavish employment in this monument may show that Sinan, Sultan Süleyman's chief architect who built the mosque, had not yet decided how to use this new medium in architecture. In his other monuments, he appeared to use underglaze polychrome tiles more economically. The unusual number of motifs encountered in the mosque also points out that neither the decorators nor the architect had decided what designs to favor.".

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 147 p. Secret connections in Constantinople. This book aims to demonstrate how the Italian nationalist ideas were a catalyst to the creation of national unity and freedom to the Turkish people, prompting a drive for freedom that originated from the élite and moved to the masses in a top-down manner. The conspiracy ideas particularly of Giuseppe Mazzini, one of the greatest figures in the Italian national struggle, gave strong impetus to the birth of the pre-republican Young Turks. Giuseppe Garibaldi permanence in Turkey, his contacts with the Italian Workers Society in Constantinople, his letters and deep connections with Europe disclosed the idea that, the birth of the Turkish Republic, was ideologically supported by Italian Carbonari kinds of associations. In order to illustrate this link, the book observes the role of some eminent delegates of the Italian Workers Association and the Italian Freemasonry in Istanbul/Constantinople and other provinces of the Ottoman Empire.

A tourist guide for over twenty years, Ahmet Faik Ozbilge wrote this book after studying and walking over every inch of Fener, Balat and Ayvansaray, three ancient neigborhoods of the Golden Horn. The book starts off with the Church of St. Savior in Chora, now Kariye Museum, and traces the ancient Byzantine walls passing through Balat and Fener all the way to Cibali. Though rather long, this is a circular route around which it is possible to walk in one day passing synagogues, churches, mosques, palaces, dungeons, tombs, dervish lodges, fountains and Turkish baths in neigborhoods where once inhabited by Jews, Greeks, Bulgars, Moldavians, Wallachians, emperors, sages, drunkards, dervishes and other colorful denizens of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

Exhibition catalogue on Princes' Island of the Marmara sea where Greeks (Rums) of Istanbul used to live. (.) They are insistently asking if the Island has changed too much? How was the city in my memories? They are asking about the daily life, old time people and the neighbourhood. That is to mean they are wondering about the Island in "the time of Rum people". As they ask me about the old days, I feel as if one of the last survivors of an endangered societies. It makes me feel like a remnant of something that's past. Well, certainly this is not that old Island. But, I think we are the ones disappearing. Everytime we look at the past, we are searching for our memories, childhood and youth. And all the years vanished. Those who are really missed a lot and not found are ourselves in the past. Indeed, we don't exist. That dark skinned boy running in the Kopsidas' garden at Hristos Qarter, pursuing a butterfly amid the rosebuds, playing with tin soldiers doesn't exist anymore. And he won't come back. Today's Island that I still love so much and will be keeping is not the same with the Island of my memories. The Island is still there with all its beauties.
