New Turkish Original cloth bdg. In special slip-case. 4to. (29 x 25 cm). In Turkish. 369, [1] p., color and b/w ills. Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). In the reign of Sultan Ahmed III (1703-1730), treasury land from Hasan Halife Garden to Kayalar Village, was sold by Grand Vizier Damad Ibrahim Pasha in 1724/25. Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, who has a share in the said lands, built a pavilion just for the Sultan. Sultan Selim III (1789-1807) set foot on Izzetabad Pavilion for the first time upon the invitation of GRAND Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha, but later he frequently came to the Pavilion for pleasure and entertaining activities. After a fire on May 15th, 1798; Izzetabad Pavilion was burnt down. And Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmed Pasha died in Manisa on September 18th, 1812. Treasury land from Akintiburnu to Bebek Garden that was bestowed upon Janissary Hasan Halife by Sultan Murad IV (1623-1640), was transferred to national treasury following a rebellion in 1631-1632 in the reign of Sultan Mehmed IV (1648-1687). The pavilion was rebuilt and redecorated by Chief Architect Mustafa and Hayrullah Efendi from Sehremini, between the years 1800-1804, and the palace was used by Sultan Selim III and Mahmud II (1808-1839). When the Bayraktar Group bought Izzetâbâd Pavilion, there was nothing more than relics of the basement. Its construction and renovation was completed in 1999. Thanks to the Bayraktar Group, Istanbul and Turkey have regained a precious heritage from the period of Selim III. After four years, in 2003, we started out to initiate the research which would unearth the mysterious history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu, together with Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay. In the corridors of the history of Akintiburnu, tracing back to nearly 2 thousand years ago, we started to discover the sophisticated and colorful history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion which witnessed great joys as well as torments and conspiracies to date. As a result, the book of Izzetâbâd Pavilion, Time Flies Away from Akintiburnu was published to reveal the history of Izzetâbâd Pavilion and Akintiburnu in light of historical documents. Today, we have this precious work of art written by Dear Emine Çigdem Tugay and Dear Mehmet Selim Tugay, and which gained further value thanks to the highly professional design by Dear Joelle Imamoglu.

Very Good Turkish Modern cloth bdg. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In Turkish. 27 p. text; 21 numerous map feuilles in Ottoman script and modern Turkish. 19. asirda Istanbul haritasi. Ekrem Hakki Ayverdi was raised at a time in which Istanbul was undergoing its late Ottoman-early Republican period. Apart from his persona as an engineer-architect, restorer, and architectural historian, he was a collector passionately dedicated to Ottoman art. Undertaking the construction of different public buildings in Istanbul, Bursa and Edirne, as well as the restoration of many architectural works, Ayverdi not only brought together the most select and refined works of Ottoman art, which had begun to lose its prestige amidst the changing values of high culture in the time he lived, but he also paid particular attention to their conservation and preservation. Ayverdi's two seminal corpuses that study Ottoman architecture from its early days until the end of the Mehmed II era, as well as its examples in Roumelia, continue to maintain their place as the most important reference books for those working in this field. This is a detailed research on a 19th century map of Istanbul city.

New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p., color ills. The lure of the East: British orientalist painting.= Dogu'nun cazibesi: Britanya oryantalist resmi. [Exhibition catalogue]. This exhibition focused on the paintings made by British artists of the 'Orient', primarily during the nineteenth century. In this context the term 'Orient', to Western Europeans, meant those parts of the eastern Mediterranean world which could be accessed relatively easily such as Egypt, Palestine and Turkey, particularly after the development of steamboat and rail travel in the 1830s. In these places, predominantly Muslim and at least nominally under the control of the Ottoman Empire, British artists, such as David Roberts, David Wilkie, William Holman Hunt, John Frederick Lewis and Frederic Leighton, sought to develop imagery which captured what they believed to be characteristic of the people, cities and landscapes of the region. In the 1970s the Palestinian-American academic Edward Said published his treatise on Orientalism, initiating a global debate over Western representations of the Middle East. For many, such representations now appeared to be a sequence of fictions, serving the West's desire for superiority and control over the East. The argument for and against Said's Orientalism has continued for thirty years. Its resonance for an exhibition such as this one, however, is as strong as ever given that, by the 1920s (the end of the period covered by this exhibition), Britain was in direct control of much of the newly abolished Ottoman Empire, including Egypt, Palestine and Iraq. As Said argued, these images cannot be viewed in isolation from their wider political and cultural context. Keeping the debates around Orientalism in mind, "The Lure of the East" focuses on the range of pictorial options open to British artists, within five major themes: portraits, genre, religious and domestic subjects and landscape. British painters came to the Middle East from a culture steeped in technical and compositional artistic traditions. Such traditions were not easily unlearned, despite the apparent difference of the people and places the artists encountered on their travels. Given this, British Orientalist painters found many challenges in attempting to represent the Middle East, but they also found inspiration and, more importantly, the freedom to rework, reinvent and even discard those conventions that defined picture-making in Britain.
New Turkish Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 460 p., ills. Byzantion'dan Constantinopolis'e Istanbul kusatmalari. Istanbul Research Institute presents a collection of papers in its new book. Although it does not discuss each siege that the city has encountered throughout its history of nearly two millennia, Byzantion'dan Constantinopolis'e Istanbul Kusatmalari presents a full view -panopticon- of the ones that sources bring to the forefront. It is a collection of works selected from current literature that takes into consideration the diversity of ancient sources, epigraphical documents, and numismatic finds which have gained more prominence in Ancient and Medieval studies. The book contains research essays written in Turkish and English which not only focus on the forces that have besieged Istanbul (ever since its foundation, the city has been sieged first by its closest neighbors, the Thracians, and later the Hellenes, the Macedonians, Hellenistic kingdoms, the Romans, the Avars, the Sassanids, the Arabs, the Bulgars, the Rus, the Crusaders, and the Ottomans), but also draw attention to political rivalries, sieges triggered by conflicts that resulted in civil wars, and the capital's defense elements.
