Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Modern cloth bdg. Small 4to. (26 x 19 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 24 p. First edition of this epic and historically important account, describing the siege and fall of the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople by Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II in 1453. This is one of the finest literary examples of sixteenth-century Ottoman prose. "This description of the conquest of Istanbul in 1453 is mentioned only by Ismail Pasha in his "Hediyyetü'l Arifîn". The text, which was published as a supplement to TOEM (parts 20 and 21, Istanbul 1331) is said to be taken from a manuscript owned by Halis Efendi. The introduction to Ca'fer Çelebi's life was also written by Halis Efendi. The work is written in a very elegant style, with ayets, hadith, and beyts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish scattered throughout the text and may be considered one of the finest examples of sixteenth-century Ottoman prose writing. [.] Ca'fer's work is in some aspects a reliable source for the conquest of Istanbul. The preparation for the siege is given in this work. The council of war which was held before the siege and in particular Mehmed II's speech to the council is very detailed and the chain placed across the entrance to the Golden Horn and its history is very well described in this work as well. During the siege, the Byzantines received help from the outside. Ca'fer is specific about this and states that "four huge vessels full of provisions, soldiers and ammunition came to help of the Byzantines". After the last attack, Constantinople fell into the hands of the Ottoman army. The date given for this is 857 Cem. I. 20 Seshenbe in Ca'fer's work. The plundering and looting which occurred during the first three days of the conquest are vividly described by Ca'fer Çelebi, but the withdrawal of Justinian and his men which preceded the conquest and the death of the Byzantine Emperor during the capture of the city are omitted in this work. Ca'fer's closing lines are devoted to the conversion of St. Sophia (Ayasofya) into a mosque by Mehmed II. Ca'fer Çelebi used eyewitness accounts as well as written works. It is certain that he did not rely exclusively on any source which is not extant, for the departs from Ruhi, Enverî, Tursun Beg, Neshrî, and Asikpasha-zâde either by adding new information or giving a conflicting account."

Across a crowded room in Venice, Marlena de Blesi is seen by a stranger who persuades her to leave her life as a chef and journalist in America to live with him in Italy. This book is her account of what followed. It is an inherently sentimental story, but her 'stranger' is no knight in shining armour, just an ordinary human being who just happens to be the love of her life. As she attempts to adjust to a different culture and absorb the sights and sounds of magical Venice, he too has to learn to accept that the profile he first fell in love with belongs to a three-dimensional woman. Marlena loves Fernando but she also loves to cook. So much the better, if her food can be shared by someone who also loves to eat. However, this is more than a book about sex and cooking. Her descriptions of markets at the Rialto, the preparation and consumption of meals, the loving and sensual details of luscious ingredients, together with descriptions of her romantic house in America and the changes wrought in Fernando's distinctly unpromising flat on the Lido all reveal a woman who will seize and enjoy the moment. Starting to live together as strangers, Marlena and Fernando also have to contend with more practical matters, such as getting things done in Italy in all its bureaucratic glory, as Fernando demonstrates the 'innocent cunning' needed for life there. As their relationship develops, the meals they eat together come to symbolize the love between them. Book

The urban history of Istanbul holds several important breaking points. Tanpinar, for example, makes the following assessment on the rupture that took place at the turn of the 20th century: "In the fifteen years between 1908 and 1923, [the city] has completely lost its former identity. The reforms instigated by the Constitutional Monarchy, three big wars, a series of fires of various magnitudes, financial crises, the dissolution of an empire, and, finally in 1923, the adoption of a civilization at the verge of which we stood scratching our heads for a century, have completely eradicated her former identity." This radical change was followed by the onset of rural to urban migration. Today, Istanbul is in a process of transformation in which she battles her own historic identity. Istanbul Research Institute is carefully following this process. The Institute maintains its focus on Istanbul's urban identity through a series of exhibitions, conferences, and books. The latest issue of Annual of Istanbul Studies thus includes exhaustive works on the historic identity of the city.

Istanbul holds a leading place among research areas of contemporary sociology and urban design. In the wide spectrum of research fields, ranging from archaeology to history, from art to literature, and from religious culture to daily life, the city provides answers to humanity's fundamental queries. Is this merely a coincidence or a mesh of problems in dire need of a resolution, stratified throughout history from the past to present? If our answer entails resolving this mesh of problems on the scale of Istanbul, then we can certainly call for a common denominator through which diverse opinions and approaches can counter with one another. The Annual of Istanbul Studies thus begins its publishing life to compensate for this need in terms of modern scientific thought.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Small 4to. (26 x 19 cm). In English and Turkish. 258 p., ills. Annual of Istanbul studies. No: 3 / 2014.= Istanbul arastirmalari yilligi. No: 3, 2014. The urban transformation project remains on the agenda, creating new debates every day. Istanbul's urban identity is at the center of these debates. As the clash between old and new takes on political significance, the fundamental problem finds expression in the cultural sphere. The crux of the matter is whether to keep intact Istanbul's identity as a historical city or to transform it into a synthetic identity that some claim includes the old. The truth is, no matter how complex the problem, we lack the knowledge about Istanbul as a historical city. This lack in turn causes lack of awareness. And an awareness configured in this way chooses not construction but destruction, which is the easier route under all circumstances. Annual of Istanbul Studies issues its third volume for the world of science and culture. This volume includes research papers that present us a strong point of view focusing on Istanbul's identity as a historical city. How will the Istanbul of the near future look? Have we developed the criteria for assessing and evaluating this urban landscape? These questions of vital importance will no doubt be addressed in our volumes to come. We would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that we will be happy to receive suggestions and contributions from scholars and intellectuals.
