Rebuilding Anatolia after the Mongol Conquest
Author: Patricia Blessing
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351906283
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This book is a study of Islamic architecture in Anatolia following the Mongol conquest in 1243. Complex shifts in rule, movements of population, and cultural transformations took place that affected architecture on multiple levels. Beginning with the Mongol conquest of Anatolia, and ending with the demise of the Ilkhanid Empire, centered in Iran, in the 1330s, this book considers how the integration of Anatolia into the Mongol world system transformed architecture and patronage in the region. Traditionally, this period has been studied within the larger narrative of a progression from Seljuk to Ottoman rule and architecture, in a historiography that privileges Turkish national identity. Once Anatolia is studied within the framework of the Mongol Empire, however, the region no longer appears as an isolated case; rather it is integrated into a broader context beyond the modern borders of Turkey, Iran, and the Caucasus republics. The monuments built during this period served a number of purposes: mosques were places of prayer and congregation, madrasas were used to teach Islamic law and theology, and caravanserais secured trade routes for merchants and travelers. This study analyzes architecture on multiple, overlapping levels, based on a detailed observation of the monuments. The layers of information extracted from the monuments themselves, from written sources in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, and from historical photographs, shape an image of Islamic architecture in medieval Anatolia that reflects the complexities of this frontier region. New patrons emerged, craftsmen migrated between neighboring regions, and the use of locally available materials fostered the transformation of designs in ways that are closely tied to specific places. Starting from these sources, this book untangles the intertwined narratives of architecture, history, and religion to provide a broader understanding of frontier culture in the medieval Middle East, with its complex interaction of local, regional, and trans-regional identities.

The Origins of the Ottoman Empire
Author: Mehmet Fuat Köprülü
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791408193
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
In The Origins of the Ottoman Empire, Köprülü criticized as unscientific the prevailing Western explanations of the origins of the Ottoman Empire. Leiser's translation from the Turkish reveals Köprülü's modern historiographic method, and his unique contribution in describing the nature of the relevant Muslim sources. Using these and other references, Köprülü gave the first broad comprehensive account--political, religious, social, and economic--of the Turkish history of Anatolia in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and outlined the major factors that led to the rise of the Ottomans.

Turkish Art and Architecture in Anatolia & Mimar Sinan
Author: Selçuk Mülayim
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
This book is an attempt to outline the development of art and architecture in Anatolia. While covering the works made possible by this genius who holds an unsurpassed position in the history of Turkey, as well as the handicrafts of the same period, each in their own sections, the book tries to highlight both the architectural currents existing prior to Sinan and those architectural creations in Post-Sinan periods that remained faithful to his legacy. The final section rounds out by discussing such traditional art forms as woodworking, metal working, tilemaking, cloth, miniatures, carpets, hat (calligraphy) and tezhip ("gold gilding" or "illumination"), which served as complementary elements of architecture.

The Secret History of Iran
Author: Hamad Subani
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 130408289X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Iran is an ancient place of extreme contrasts. It is both blessed and cursed.It is home to both Islam and anti-Islam. This book attempts to trace out the Secret History of Iran, from 500 B.C. to present. This book covers the various secret groups and cabals that continue to dominate Iran, from the remnants of Mystery Babylon and the Sabaeans to crypto-Byzantines. Their little known role in the Mongol Invasion is investigated. Connections between such groups and well-known poets and intellectuals produced by Iran is methodically examined. Under the little known Khwarezm Empire, Iran served as the key to the Mongol destruction of the Islamic World. Today, Iran has once again been thrust into a similar position, as the modern-day Mongols encircle the Middle East. What role will Iran play this time?

The Steppe Tradition in International Relations
Author: Iver B. Neumann
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108368913
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Neumann and Wigen counter Euro-centrism in the study of international relations by providing a full account of political organisation in the Eurasian steppe from the fourth millennium BCE up until the present day. Drawing on a wide range of archaeological and historical secondary sources, alongside social theory, they discuss the pre-history, history and effect of what they name the 'steppe tradition'. Writing from an International Relations perspective, the authors give a full treatment of the steppe tradition's role in early European state formation, as well as explaining how politics in states like Turkey and Russia can be understood as hybridising the steppe tradition with an increasingly dominant European tradition. They show how the steppe tradition's ideas of political leadership, legitimacy and concepts of succession politics can help us to understand the policies and behaviour of such leaders as Putin in Russia and Erdogan in Turkey.
