New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (32 x 24 cm). In English. 188 p. Color and b/w ills. Book of buildings: Tezkiretü'l-bünyan and Tezkiretü'l-ebniye. Memoirs of Sinan the Architect. Book of Buildings is the complete critical edition of two important texts, Tezkeritü-‘l-Bünyan and Tezkeritü-‘l-Ebniye, based on Sinan’s own accounts of his life and works. The text is accompanied by scores of full color photographs of Sinan’s monuments, miniatures illustrating his works, and facsimiles of the original scripts. For the Ottoman Empire it is works of architecture across the extensive lands which it ruled for over six centuries that mark its cultural identity most indelibly. Today from Bosnia to Yemen, from Iraq to Algeria, and throughout nearly every part of the eastern Mediterranean we find mosques, hans, hamams, bridges, and other buildings representing the achievements of Ottoman civilization and keeping its memory alive. Astonishingly, the majority of these landscapes are the work of A single creative genius, the great master architect of the Ottoman golden age: Sinan. In a lifetime of nearly a century one man created the most outstanding masterpieces of Ottoman architecture, and no other eminent architect left even a fraction of his legacy in terms of sheer numbers. Cover Illustration: The only portrait of Mimar Sinan. Detail from a miniature in Tarih-I Sultan Süleyman, f.115b; Chester Beatty Library, MS413. 1579-1580. "I hope that those of pure heart who look upon my works from now until the end of time and doomsday will regard me kindly, and when they see the earnestness of my endeavour and dedication remember me in their prayers. May God’s will be done." Sinan.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 112 p., ills. By the mouth of Evliya Çelebi; Hagia Sophia. One of them is, of course, the world's biggest traveller Evliya Çelebi (1611-1682) The other one is the symbol of the conquest of Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia, which this traveller desciribed in his Seyahatname (the book of Travel) as "the Mecca of Christians". Both are full of mysteries; both have been researched a lot, written a lot and told a lot. And there is also that Evliya Celebi tells about Hagia Sophia in a more different way than anyone else has done. To read Seyyah-i Alem's (The Traveller of the World) Seyahatname means to ben friends with our great traveller prior to 400 years, to make a journey to that and previosu period.

Byzantine manuscripts in Bucharest's collections.= Manuscrise bizantine în colectii bucurestene. Project coordinator: Ileana Stanculescu. From the first article: "From the photographs taken over time, we chose those which best capture a special artistic quality with their strictly documentary value. This selection of manuscripts ends before the dawn of the 16th century, given the common view that after the fall of Constantinople (1453) we can no longer speak of a truly Byzantine culture, but only of a Byzantine style, albeit one which continued to shine. The selection of images was also intended to emphasize not only the aesthetics of the illuminated folios, but also those details that are significant for the codices as a whole, things which would dryly translate today as typeface font type, page layout and binding. Far from the sight of all interested parties, the Byzantine manuscripts in the Bucharest repositories are still full of mysteries waiting to be discovered and explained by researchers. We present these images here to provide a platform for a wider discussion of the significance of the Byzantine legacy for Romanian pre-modern culture. For the identification and description of the items chosen we used several catalogues, either manuscript or in print, which we then compared with the corresponding labels used by the repositories. The bibliography at the end of the volume indicates the various catalogues used for each collection. We found a wealth of details pertaining to the manuscript collections of the Romanian Patriarchy in the album published by the archimandrite Policarp. This is an excellent occasion to thank the specialists involved in the inventory of the collection for the additional information they supplied. We extend our warmest gratitude to them.Here and there we updated and corrected the information found in the aforementioned sources in the light of recent research: the dating of ms. sl. II 280, from the Library of the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church at the Antim Monastery. We thank Mrs Tatiana Popova (University of St. Petersburg in Severodvinsk), for the observation that we are dealing with a direct copy, made at the end of the 14th century, of the Russian metropolitan Kyprian's reworking (dated 1385) of the Ladder of John Climax. Ms. sl. II 280 belongs to a group of manuscripts kept at Antim Monastery, but originates from a collection in Slava Rusa, a settlement in Dobrogea and a known...".
