Book Description
The small sabil-kuttab (a charitable foundation particular to Cairo that combines a public water dispensary with a Quranic school) built in 1760 opposite the venerated Sayyida Zeinab Mosque is almost unique in Cairo: it is one of only two dedicated by a reigning Ottoman sultan, and--astonishingly--it is decorated inside with blue-and-white tiles from Amsterdam depicting happy scenes from the Dutch countryside. Why did the sultan, Mustafa III, cloistered in his Istanbul palace, decide to build a sabil in Cairo? Why did he choose this site for it? How did it come to be adorned with Dutch tiles? What were the connections between Cairo, Istanbul, and Amsterdam in the middle of the eighteenth century? The authors answer these questions and many more in this entertaining and beautifully illustrated history of an extraordinary building, describing also the recent conservation efforts to preserve it for posterity.

Book Description
Seemingly contradictory ideas of privacy and community dominate Ottoman cities. While houses are internally divided to guard female modesty behind a frontage studded with peep-holes, streets in cities like Amasya are often bridged by first-floor passageways between different houses. This book contains 17 papers by architects and archaeologists looking at how the Ottoman house was structured, how it has varied over time and space, and how surviving examples are faring in a world of breeze-block construction. Although the examples discussed are all Near Eastern, and mostly from Turkey, the revelations this book contains about structuring principles will make it a valuable companion to understanding architectural relics from all over the Ottoman Empire.

Book Description
Excerpt from L'Orfèvrerie Française aux Xviiie Et Xixe Siècles (1700-1900) Ne nous batons pas de medire de notre temps. Assurement, il faut deplorer que, dans le bouleversement des idees et des choses, l'art et les metiers aient ete violemment separes par un divorce dont les consequences ont ete si facheuses. Mais quand on fait la part des causes superieures, et pour ainsi dire fatales, qui ont amene la transformation des conditions du travail, on comprend que des dirce tions nouvelles s'imposaient a l'industrie qui devait forcement changer de carac tere et d'objectif pour repondre a des necessites sociales completement nou velles.
