Riassunto

The Ottoman court of the late 16th century produced an unprecedented number of sumptuously illustrated chronicles. While usually dismissed as imperial eulogies, Emine Fetvac demonstrates that these books commented on contemporary events, promoted the political agendas of courtiers as well as the sultan, and presented their patrons and creators in ways that helped shape the perspectives of their elite audience. Picturing History at the Ottoman Court traces the simultaneous crafting of political power, the codification of a historical record, and the unfolding of cultural change.

Recensione:

"An absolutely original work, full of good ideas and important points. Fascinating." Pamela Brummett, University of Tennessee "One of the most profound examples of new directions in scholarship dealing with 'the book' and 'the text' of the past few decades. It shows an exceptional breadth of vision." --Walter G. Andrews, University of Washington
