The aim is to demonstrate what are the important subjects in the period of nearly five hundred year of development. The second chapter is in order to define what muqarnas is and to reveal what are the main aspects of muqarnas. The third chaper is about the principles of muqarnas. In this part arguments from various scholars are discussed and it concludes by an example demonstrating how a muqarnas plan should be read. The last chaper is the main part of the dissertation. In this chaper it has shown that there is a continuum in the architecture of Anatolia, and Ottoman muqarnas is natural development of its predecessors. In the formation of Ottoman muqarnas, usage of marble has extreme importance. Ottomans brought new approaches and developed geometric schemes developed by Seljuks. 8 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................................... 7 ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................................ 8 1.

İstanbul-Turkey e-mail: [email protected] **Ph.D., Istanbul University, Cerrahpasha Medical Faculty, Department of Deontology and History of Medicine. İstanbul-Turkey e-mail: [email protected] Summary The dominant cultural effectiveness of the Seljuks, which affected different nations and regional races within the borders of their empire that stretched from Central Asia to Cairo, has left behind famous civilizations which are today within the borders of various countries (India, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, etc.). As for structural characteristics, in an atmosphere whose origin is rooted in pagan culture and architecture formed by its symbols is continued, the form does not change when planning big buildings or where the “house” is concerned. The root lies back in the Central Asian house or multifunctional Turcoman tent. Hospitals were so improved that various establishments developed in a way that suited the needs of the period’s social life, ruling administration and military life. To group these: Mobile hospitals were to be found in caravans behind the soldiers who were fighting. In the Malik Shah Era, in the Seljuk army there were military hospitals carried by 40 camels. Seljuk hospitals were caravanserai hospitals, palace hospitals, and serving public, usually within the structure of a medical madrasah, darüşşifas. It was inconceivable for a culture whose scope is as deep and wide as this to not affect the West that was drowning in the conservative religion suppression of the Middle Ages.

    WOMEN PATRONS IN MEDIEVAL ANATOLIA AND A DISCUSSION OF MĀHBARĪ KHĀTŪN’S MOSQUE COMPLEX IN KAYSERI PATRICIA BLESSING* At the center of Kayseri, facing the well-preserved citadel stands a large architectural complex, consisting of a mosque, madrasa, mauso- leum, and the ruins of a double bathhouse [See figure 1]. The building, known locally as the Hunad Hatun or Huand Hatun Complex, was built in the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Inscriptions on both por- tals of the mosque date to 1237-38, while the other parts of the complex remain undated. At the time of construction, the patron of the complex, Māhbarī Khātūn, was the mother of the ruling Sultan Ghiyāth al-Dīn Kaykhusraw II (R 1237-46) and of the widows of the Sultan ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Kayqubād (R 1219-37).1 With her intervention in Kayseri and the con- struction of two caravanserais near Tokat and Yozgat, Māhbarī Khātūn is one of the most prolific female patrons in medieval Anatolia, and the one who is best documented inmonumental inscriptions, although not in much detail in other written sources of the period, such as chronicles and hagiographies. * Dr., Stanford Humanities Center, Stanford University, 424 Santa Teresa Street, Stan- ford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected]. 1 In modern Turkish, the name is more commonly spelled as Mahperi Hatun. Huand Hatun appears as a Turkish adaptation of the titles Khwand Khātūn. Another wife of the Sultan ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Kayqubād was Iṣmat al-Dunyā wa’l-Dīn al-Malika al-‘Ādila, a daughter of the Ayyubid ruler of Syria, al-Malik al-Ashraf Abū Bakr b.

  • The Vakf Institution in Ottoman Cyprus
    Ottoman Cyprus A Collection of Studies on History and Culture Edited by Michalis N. Michael, Matthias Kappler and Eftihios Gavriel 2009 Harrassowitz Verlag · Wiesbaden ISSN 0932-2728 ISBN 978-3-447-05899-5 The Vakf Institution in Ottoman Cyprus Netice Yıldız * Introduction: The legacy of Vakf in Cyprus The pious foundations, called vakf (Turkish: vakıf ) or evkaf (plural) in Cyprus were launched on 15 th September 1570 by converting the cathedral of the city into a mosque and laying it as the first pious foundation in the name of the Sultan followed by others soon after. Since then it has been one of the deep-rooted Ottoman institutions on the island to survive until today under the office of the Turkish Cypriot Vakf Administration (Kıbrıs Türk Vakıflar Đdaresi) (Fig. 1). Alongside its main mission to run all the religious affairs and maintain all religious buildings, it is one of the most important business enterprises in banking, farming and tourism sectors as well as the leading philanthropy organisation in the Turkish Cypriot society. Among its most important charity works is to provide support and service to people of low income status by allocating accommodation at rather low cost, or to give scholarships for young people, as it did in the past, using the income derived from the enterprises under its roof and rents collected from its estates. Besides this, the institution incorporates a mission dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the old vakf monuments in collaboration with the Department of Antiquities and Monuments. Another task of the vakf was to ensure the family properties to last from one generation to the others safely in accordance with the conditions of the deed of foundation determined by the original founder.

    International Journal of Human Sciences ISSN:2458-9489 Volume 17 Issue 1 Year: 2020 The conservation and restoration performances under Seljuk Architectural Patronage Tülay Karadayı Yenice1 Abstract The aim of this study is to expose the similarities between the restoration, conservation, and also reparation works focused on the monumental and public building under the Architectural Patronage of Seljuk Sultans in Anatolia. Reparations and present restoration approach through the protection – reparation examples they made in their periods. The research method is based on a comparative analysis of the approaches followed in the restoration and restoration of monumental structures built by previous civilizations in the territories dominated by the Seljuk state of Anatolia. In the scope of the study Aspendos Theatre, Aksaray Sultan Caravanserai and Sultan Alaaddin Bridge will be taken up it will be tried to understand the principles in the restoration efforts of the Anatolian Seljuks and light the way for the present restoration studies with the achieved accumulation and experience. As a result of the research, the findings indicate that the modern Seljuk state era has been applied to the repair-conservation of monumental monuments very close to the contemporary principles of contemporary restoration. Keywords: Architecture, conservation, culture, renovation. Reparation. Introduction Conservation phenomenon – a historical house, a monument, a city or a cultural landscape– they produce complex network of meanings and their symbolic strength contributes to their recognition as relevant cultural properties. Contemporary approaches to conservation consider that cultural heritage is preserved not because of the values, functions or meanings they had in the past, but for the messages and symbolism they communicate in the present time and for the future generations (Pereira, 2007).

Yüzyıldan başlayarak Selçuklu,Beylikler ve Osmanlı dönemleri boyunca Anadolu’da İpek Yolu üzerinde birçok anıtsal konaklama yapısı ve köprü inşa edildi. Dünün İpek Yolu üzerin- de oluşan, kültürlerarası etkileşim sonucunda insanlığın ortak mirası olarak günümüze ulaşan tüm bu yapılar ÇEKÜL Vakfı’nın uzun çabalar sonucunda hazırladığı İpek Yolu-Kültür Yolu haritasında bir araya geldi. Trade routes that entwined the Anatolian territory during the Midd- le Ages provided a favorable climate for the encounter of cultures as well. Starting from the 11th century and onwards, during the Seljuk, Beylik and Ottoman rules, a large number of monumental lodging structures and bridges were erected on the Silk Road. Those structu- res that have risen over the Silk Road of yesterday, laid the ground for intensive interactions between cultures and reached our day as unique examples of universal heritage of mankind, are now compiled by the ÇEKÜL Foundation in this “Silk Road-Culture Road Map”.

Bizans mimarisi başta Avrupa ve Amerika olmak üzere birçok yapıya esin kaynağı olmuştur. Bu yüzden üzerinde daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Bizans mimarisi ve sanatı yeni bir akım olan Neo-Bizans akımını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bizans mimarisi 15. Ve 19. Yüzyılda Avrupa mimarisini derinden etkilemiştir. Bizans mimarisinin Doğu ve Batı kültürlerinin gelişmesi ve ilerlemesi üzerinde büyük katkısı olmuştur. Bu çalışmada geçmiş ve bugünün Doğu-Batı mimari etkileşimleri karşılıklı olarak irdelenmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bizans Mimarisi, Bizans Mozaikleri, Neo Bizans Akımı THE LEGACY OF BYZANTINE ARCHITECTURE AND ART ABSTRACT Byzantine architecture is extraordinarily rich in terms of the buildings, iconography and mosaics that have survived in the course of two millennia.
