  • Illumination Underfoot the Design Origins of Mamluk Carpets by Peter Samsel
    Illumination Underfoot The Design Origins of Mamluk Carpets by Peter Samsel Sophia: The Journal of Traditional Studies 10:2 (2004), pp.135-61. Mamluk carpets, woven in Cairo during the period of Mamluk rule, are widely considered to be the most exquisitely beautiful carpets ever created; they are also perhaps the most enigmatic and mysterious. Characterized by an intricate play of geometrical forms, woven from a limited but shimmering palette of colors, they are utterly unique in design and near perfect in execution.1 The question of the origin of their design and occasion of their manufacture has been a source of considerable, if inconclusive, speculation among carpet scholars;2 in what follows, we explore the outstanding issues surrounding these carpets, as well as possible sources of inspiration for their design aesthetic. Character and Materials The lustrous wool used in Mamluk carpets is of remarkably high quality, and is distinct from that of other known Egyptian textiles, whether earlier Coptic textiles or garments woven of wool from the Fayyum.3 The manner in which the wool is spun, however – “S” spun, rather than “Z” spun – is unique to Egypt and certain parts of North Africa.4,5 The carpets are knotted using the asymmetrical Persian knot, rather than the symmetrical Turkish knot or the Spanish single warp knot.6,7,8 The technical consistency and quality of weaving is exceptionally high, more so perhaps than any carpet group prior to mechanized carpet production. In particular, the knot counts in the warp and weft directions maintain a 1:1 proportion with a high degree of regularity, enabling the formation of polygonal shapes that are the most characteristic basis of Mamluk carpet design.9 The red dye used in Mamluk carpets is also unusual: lac, an insect dye most likely imported from India, is employed, rather than the madder dye used in most other carpet groups.10,11 Despite the high degree of technical sophistication, most Mamluks are woven from just three colors: crimson, medium blue and emerald green.

  • The Vakf Institution in Ottoman Cyprus

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.

  • The Rinceau Design, the Minor Arts and the St. Louis Psalter
    The Rinceau Design, the Minor Arts and the St. Louis Psalter Suzanne C. Walsh A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Art History. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Jaroslav Folda Dr. Eduardo Douglas Dr. Dorothy Verkerk Abstract Suzanne C. Walsh: The Rinceau Design, the Minor Arts and the St. Louis Psalter (Under the direction of Dr. Jaroslav Folda) The Saint Louis Psalter (Bibliothèque National MS Lat. 10525) is an unusual and intriguing manuscript. Created between 1250 and 1270, it is a prayer book designed for the private devotions of King Louis IX of France and features 78 illustrations of Old Testament scenes set in an ornate architectural setting. Surrounding these elements is a heavy, multicolored border that uses a repeating pattern of a leaf encircled by vines, called a rinceau. When compared to the complete corpus of mid-13th century art, the Saint Louis Psalter's rinceau design has its origin outside the manuscript tradition, from architectural decoration and metalwork and not other manuscripts. This research aims to enhance our understanding of Gothic art and the interrelationship between various media of art and the creation of the complete artistic experience in the High Gothic period. ii For my parents. iii Table of Contents List of Illustrations....................................................................................................v Chapter I.

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).

    ANADOLU’DA ORTAÇAĞ’DA KERVAN YOLLARI, KERVANSARAYLAR VE KÖPRÜLER CARAVAN ROUTES, CARAVANSARIES AND BRIDGES IN ANATOLIA IN THE MIDDLE AGES Anadolu topraklarında yolları kesişen kültürler, yüzyıllar boyunca bu coğ- rafyada kalıcı izler bıraktılar. 11. 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”. İPEK YOLU - KÜLTÜR YOLU SILK ROAD THE CULTURE ROAD Anadolu, coğrafi ve jeopolitik konumundan dolayı tarihin her döneminde uluslararası ulaşımda önemli bir merkez olmuştur. Asur Ticaret Kolonileri döneminde yapılan, Hititler tarafından kul- lanılan, Lydia döneminde Kral Yolu, Roma Yolu ve Bizans Yol Ağı olarak anılan askeri ve ticari yol, Ortaçağ’da İpek Yolu adını almıştır. 11.-14. yüzyıllar arasında Akdeniz dünyası ve Doğu arasında geçişi sağlayan İpek Yolu’nun Anadolu üzerinden geçiyor olması o dönemde özellikle anıtsal ko- naklama yapıları ve köprülerin yapımını da sağlamıştır.
