The twin-basilica represents two churches or alongaxis halls, which may separated by a masonry or by a narrow corridor, and may connected with a baptistery or chapel. This architectural style disappeared with the 7th century CE, and then re-emerged in the Romanesque and Gothic arts. The function of the Genuine twin church especially in early Christian architecture (4 th-5 th centuries CE) is a problematic issue. The focus of this paper is analyzing the functions of this architectural form considering the

An understanding of these contexts, specifically the religious, political, and economic ones, with the help of related historical sources, is required to properly analyse these quotes and figures. These mottoes generally mirror the Sultan’s, or whom these coins have been struck, policy and the different concurrent circumstances and changes. Ṭarmashīrīn coins are an excellent paradigm to show to what extent these mottoes were agreed with the real contexts of their production.
Ṭarmashīrīn was the first certain to convert to Islam from the Chagaṭay Mongols and took the name ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn. After embracing Islam, he abolished all the Mongol traditions inherited from the time of Genghis Khan. Ṭarmashīrīn began embracing the principles of Islam and made them the official traditions of the Mongol state. The present study investigates one of the most important Islamic traditions embraced by Ṭarmashīrīn as he tried to take it as his state regime. He tried to root the concept that the civilization and urbanism flourished and grew only with Justice; as quoted on his silver coins minted in Samarqand dated 726–727 AH “There is no Civilization except with Justice.”

Evliyâ Çelebi provides a wealth of data regarding the Ottoman bedestens, along with their functions, administrative system and staff. This information underlines that the bedestens were semi-official buildings and were subject to State control and management, reflecting its commercial and economic policy.
This paper discusses the importance of the bedesten as a new architectural creation in the centre of the Ottoman city, and its importance in reorganising and distinguishing the layout of the core of some significant Ottoman cities. As a result, the historic Ottoman cities could be classified into cities including a bedesten and others that didn’t. The study shows the relation between the presence of the bedesten in a city and its commercial and economic value considering the city’s site. This is obvious for cities located on main commercial roads. Along the Via Egnatia, there are cities which have bedestens in Greece. The Ottoman bedestens found in Greece were accounted for, focusing on the surviving examples.
The study concludes that the Ottoman bedesten flourished from architecture and function point of view during the years of Sultan Mehmed II (1451-1481). This study proves that the present-day bedesten in the city of Serres is not the original one described by Evliyâ Çelebi, but it is a later reconstruction. The bedesten of Larissa was also dated in the light of the waqf (vakıf) document of the founder Hacı Ömer Bey, the son of Hacı Turhan to the years before 889 H/ 1484 CE.

Waqfiyehs of the educational institutions in Greece provide a wealth of information concerning the scholastic system, staff, students, salaries, duties, and process of working of these institutes, and in sometimes a brief data regarding their architectural shape. This study proposes new publishing of early 15th century Ottoman waqfiyehs. These waqfiyehs were written in Arabic; and gives aAnalysing the data in these waqf documents in addition to an important layout about the ottoman society then. Among these waqfiyehs are those of Haci Omar Bey Turhan in Trikala, Mehmed Bey bin Yaqob in Veroia, Faeiq Pasha in Arta. Also, this paper analyses the content of two later Ottoman waqfiyehs: the one of Veli Pasha in Ioannina and Mehmed Ali Pasha in Kavala. The latter was issued in Egypt.
This paper deciphers some existing foundation inscriptions of the extant ottoman medreses in Greece for first time. Among which are the foundation inscriptions of Osman Efendi medrese in Athens and Haci Mehmed Bey in Mytilene.
These waqfiyehs, foundation inscriptions and the extant ottoman structures picture the life of the ottoman medrese in Greece from many aspects. There are ten extant structures of the traditional ottoman medrese in Greece. This paper publishes these buildings in terms of the history of architecture along with the linked archival material, drawings, and inscriptions. The paper concludes with a recommendation emphasizes the necessity of preserving and maintenance these extant distinctive architectural models, and to invest these buildings in tourism with a civilizational suitable reuse.

In terms of multi-language, these inscriptions are divided in seven groups: 1) Arabic–Ottoman, 2) Arabic–Persian, 3) Ottoman–Persian, 4) Ottoman–Greek, 5) Arabic–Greek, 6) Ottoman–Italian, and 7) Ottoman–French–Greek. This group of multi-language inscriptions reflects the complexity of cultures and identities in Greece under the Ottomans with special refrence to their impact during the last decades of the Ottoman rule.
This paper deals with 19 inscriptions representing this pattern; including foundation, informal ‘personal’ and religious inscriptions written in two or three languages. These inscriptions belong to 16 Ottoman buildings of varying functions: five mosques, one tekke, one türbe, three fountains ‘çeşme’, four residential buildings –one mansion and three houses–, one commercial building, and one clock tower ‘saat kulesi’. Most of these inscriptions date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are concentrated in Crete, Agean islands and Northern Greece. These multi-language inscriptions date and are all located outside the boarders of the first Greek ‘Hellenic’ State which was founded in 1832.
This group of multi-language inscriptions outlines the history of the last stage of the Ottoman dominance of Greece. It reflects upon the uprising of the Greek power and the presenence of other powers except of the Ottomans and the Greeks. These powers were rather of cultural influence such as the Italian and French.

This paper surveys the ‘Mā shāʾ Allāh' and related inscriptions Yā Ḥāfiẓ' and Yā Ḥafīẓ in the Balkans. It focuses on the extant writings on ottoman buildings in Greece. In this regard, it publishes a group of new inscription. The study also investigates the visual impact of such inscriptions. It analyses these inscriptions considering functional, regional, chronological and calligraphic stylistic criteria. The paper characterises the meaning of the ‘Mā shāʾ Allāh' inscription either as a direct message or as a mirror reflects some aspects of the period and society to which belongs. Moreover, it examines the significance of writing the Mā shāʾ Allāh in Greek alphabet ‘Mάσαλα and Μασαλαχ' on Christian buildings and objects. The paper concludes that the Mā shāʾ Allāh acquired over centuries a popular folkloric cultural concept as a talisman to protect from the evil eye rather than its own original religious expression.

Its objective is to provide thorough information about these dinars, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the political and economic circumstances of the government of Sultan Maḥmūd. Thus, after a historical introduction that contextualizes the golden emissions that are studied, a complete description of a selection of pieces will be presented. The authors have
selected ten exceptional gold coins, of which nine are unpublished types and, the tenth, has only been briefly cited in a previous study. Among them, it is worth mentioning a posthumous dinar, coined in the year 423/1031-1032. The criterion for the selection has been based on monetary legends and their correlation with historical events. After the description of the specimens, an in-depth analysis of the monetary legends and their ideological implications is carried out, as well as regarding to the ornamental motifs (vegetable, geometric, figurative...) and the metrology of the dinars of the Sultan Maḥmūd coined in Nishapur.
Este estudio histórico-numismático se centra en los dinares del sultán gaznaví Maḥmūd acuñados en la ceca de Nisapur. Su objetivo es aportar una información lo más completa posible sobre dichos dinares a fin de contribuir al conocimiento de las circunstancias políticas y económicas del gobierno del sultán Maḥmūd. Así, tras una introducción histórica que da contexto a las emisiones áureas objeto del estudio, se presenta una descripción completa de las piezas estudiadas. Los autores han seleccionado diez piezas excepcionales de oro, de las cuales
nueve son tipos inéditos y, la décima, sólo ha sido citada brevemente en algún estudio previo. De entre ellas cabe destacar un dinar póstumo, acuñado el año 423/1031-1032. El criterio de selección se ha basado en las leyendas monetales y su correlación con acontecimientos de carácter histórico. Tras la descripción de los ejemplares, se lleva a cabo un análisis en profundidad de las leyendas monetales y sus implicaciones ideológicas, así como de los motivos ornamentales (vegetales, geométricos, figurativos…) y de la metrología de los dinares del Sultán Maḥmūd acuñados en Nisapur.

Their use was overall the Mamlūk State in Egypt and Syria (1250-1517), on almost all kinds of coins, art and architecture. Mamlūk ranks mirrored the core of the Mamlūk culture; their origin and life contextual. Furthermore ranks came as a new advertising approach, colorful, and symbolized visual tool, with a relatively high advantage compared to the traditional method at that time i.e. the inscriptions. The subject of this paper is based on a new view of the reasons beyond inventing and using the ranks by the Mamlūks. It examines in details its historical context and its extraordinary functional use considering the primary sources and literature. This paper also suggests the visual impact as a new factor in studying the Mamlūk ranks. It also discusses the cross-cultural context between the Islamic ranks and Byzantine and European heraldry.

In the late Middle Ages this rocky plateau hosted a fortified settlement, whose ruins were first recorded by European travelers of the 19th c. later scholars supposed that this site could be the – unknown from other sources – Byzantine capital of the island.
Helen Deliyanni-Doris, assistant professor of Byzantine Archaeology at the university of Athens, began to search the site in 2004, directing a team of post-graduate students. The extended survey and the excavation data proved that Epano Kastro was founded by the Venetians, who took control of the island in 1207. Their major purpose
was to fortify the hill with a strong surrounding wall that included several cisterns, a rain-water collector, a church and an independent defense on the top (donjon). later on, the enclosed space was densely populated
with small, single-space houses and larger domestic complexes. Although the Venetians left the castle in 1566, the settlement was still inhabited in the first decades of Ottoman rule, probably because of the fear of piratic raids.
As an extended, fortified island settlement that remains intact of later additions, Epano Kastro provides us with valuable evidence on the daily life and culture in the Venetian Aegean and especially in the island of Andros.

This paper discusses such method with regard to its comparative advantage and maximising its use in understanding Ottoman architecture. With Greece as a case study, the present paper identifies change in the quantity of Ottoman buildings considering the archetypal, functional, chronological, and geographical evidence, in the changing context of the nature of the Ottoman rule over centuries.
The scholar provides new statistics presenting the numbers of Ottoman buildings in Greece over centuries, with special reference to three periods: the second half of the 17th century (time of EvliyâÇelebi), the late period of the Ottoman rule in Greece (based on Iyverdi’s statistics, the Ottoman slanames, and Kamûs-ülÂ'lâm of Şemseddin), and the existing architectural heritage in light of the recent publications and fieldworks’ results.
Through statistical methods, this research identifies quantitative change of several types of buildings, proper to each region or in Greece as a whole.It observes the growth or decay of the pace of construction on the basis of three main factors: type of building, period, and region. The most significant results come from the comparison between the numbers of the Ottoman buildings in Greece dating to Evliyâ’s time at the end of the 17th century and the last decades of the Ottoman rule.
The statistic table and the two charts with function and region indexes clarify to what extent the change in the number of buildings according to their function and region summarises the different phases of the Ottoman rule and the nature of each phase. The paper shows that the change in the numbers of buildings according to their function summarizes the alteration in nature of the Ottoman policy over the centuries, and the numbers of extant buildings strongly relate to the history and site of the corresponding regions. The paper clarifies that the reasons beyond the demolition of ottoman buildings in Greece include both human and natural factors, and concludes with a recommendation of preserving and reuse of extant ottoman structures.

Waqfiyehs of the educational institutions in Greece provide a wealth of information concerning the scholastic system, staff, students, salaries, duties, and process of working of these institutes, and in sometimes a brief data regarding their architectural shape. This study proposes new publishing of early 15th century Ottoman waqfiyehs.

Among these waqfiyehs are those of Haci Omar Bey Turhan in Trikala, Mehmed Bey bin Yaqob in Veroia, Faeiq Pasha in Arta. Also, this paper analyses the content of two later Ottoman waqfiyehs: the one of Veli Pasha in Ioannina and Mehmed Ali Pasha in Kavala. The latter was issued in Egypt.
This paper deciphers some existing foundation inscriptions of the extant ottoman medreses in Greece for first time. Among which are the foundation inscriptions of Osman Efendi medrese in Athens and Haci Mehmed Bey in Mytilene.
These waqfiyehs, foundation inscriptions and the extant ottoman structures picture the life of the ottoman medrese in Greece from many aspects. There are ten extant structures of the traditional ottoman medrese in Greece. This paper publishes these buildings in terms of the history of architecture along with the linked archival material, drawings, and inscriptions. The paper concludes with a recommendation emphasizes the necessity of preserving and maintenance these extant distinctive architectural models, and to invest these buildings in tourism with a civilizational suitable reuse.

In terms of multi-language, these inscriptions are divided in seven groups: 1) Arabic–Ottoman, 2) Arabic–Persian, 3) Ottoman–Persian, 4) Ottoman–Greek, 5) Arabic–Greek, 6) Ottoman–Italian, and 7) Ottoman–French–Greek. This group of multi-language inscriptions reflects the complexity of cultures and identities in Greece under the Ottomans with special refrence to their impact during the last decades of the Ottoman rule.
This paper deals with 19 inscriptions representing this pattern; including foundation, informal ‘personal’ and religious inscriptions written in two or three languages. These inscriptions belong to 16 Ottoman buildings of varying functions: five mosques, one tekke, one türbe, three fountains ‘çeşme’, four residential buildings –one mansion and three houses–, one commercial building, and one clock tower ‘saat kulesi’. Most of these inscriptions date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are concentrated in Crete, Agean islands and Northern Greece. These multi-language inscriptions date and are all located outside the boarders of the first Greek ‘Hellenic’ State which was founded in 1832.
This group of multi-language inscriptions outlines the history of the last stage of the Ottoman dominance of Greece. It reflects upon the uprising of the Greek power and the presenence of other powers except of the Ottomans and the Greeks. These powers were rather of cultural influence such as the Italian and French.

This paper surveys the ‘Mā shāʾ Allāh' and related inscriptions Yā Ḥāfiẓ' and Yā Ḥafīẓ in the Balkans. It focuses on the extant writings on ottoman buildings in Greece. In this regard, it publishes a group of new inscription. The study also investigates the visual impact of such inscriptions. It analyses these inscriptions considering functional, regional, chronological and calligraphic stylistic criteria. The paper characterises the meaning of the ‘Mā shāʾ Allāh' inscription either as a direct message or as a mirror reflects some aspects of the period and society to which belongs. Moreover, it examines the significance of writing the Mā shāʾ Allāh in Greek alphabet ‘Mάσαλα and Μασαλαχ' on Christian buildings and objects. The paper concludes that the Mā shāʾ Allāh acquired over centuries a popular folkloric cultural concept as a talisman to protect from the evil eye rather than its own original religious expression.

Its objective is to provide thorough information about these dinars, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the political and economic circumstances of the government of Sultan Maḥmūd. Thus, after a historical introduction that contextualizes the golden emissions that are studied, a complete description of a selection of pieces will be presented. The authors have
selected ten exceptional gold coins, of which nine are unpublished types and, the tenth, has only been briefly cited in a previous study. Among them, it is worth mentioning a posthumous dinar, coined in the year 423/1031-1032. The criterion for the selection has been based on monetary legends and their correlation with historical events. After the description of the specimens, an in-depth analysis of the monetary legends and their ideological implications is carried out, as well as regarding to the ornamental motifs (vegetable, geometric, figurative...) and the metrology of the dinars of the Sultan Maḥmūd coined in Nishapur.

Tras la descripción de los ejemplares, se lleva a cabo un análisis en profundidad de las leyendas monetales y sus implicaciones ideológicas, así como de los motivos ornamentales (vegetales, geométricos, figurativos…) y de la metrología de los dinares del Sultán Maḥmūd acuñados en Nisapur.

Their use was overall the Mamlūk State in Egypt and Syria (1250-1517), on almost all kinds of coins, art and architecture. Mamlūk ranks mirrored the core of the Mamlūk culture; their origin and life contextual. Furthermore ranks came as a new advertising approach, colorful, and symbolized visual tool, with a relatively high advantage compared to the traditional method at that time i.e. the inscriptions. The subject of this paper is based on a new view of the reasons beyond inventing and using the ranks by the Mamlūks. It examines in details its historical context and its extraordinary functional use considering the primary sources and literature. This paper also suggests the visual impact as a new factor in studying the Mamlūk ranks. It also discusses the cross-cultural context between the Islamic ranks and Byzantine and European heraldry.

In the late Middle Ages this rocky plateau hosted a fortified settlement, whose ruins were first recorded by European travelers of the 19th c. later scholars supposed that this site could be the – unknown from other sources – Byzantine capital of the island.
Helen Deliyanni-Doris, assistant professor of Byzantine Archaeology at the university of Athens, began to search the site in 2004, directing a team of post-graduate students. The extended survey and the excavation data proved that Epano Kastro was founded by the Venetians, who took control of the island in 1207. Their major purpose
was to fortify the hill with a strong surrounding wall that included several cisterns, a rain-water collector, a church and an independent defense on the top (donjon). later on, the enclosed space was densely populated
with small, single-space houses and larger domestic complexes. Although the Venetians left the castle in 1566, the settlement was still inhabited in the first decades of Ottoman rule, probably because of the fear of piratic raids.
As an extended, fortified island settlement that remains intact of later additions, Epano Kastro provides us with valuable evidence on the daily life and culture in the Venetian Aegean and especially in the island of Andros.

This paper discusses such method with regard to its comparative advantage and maximising its use in understanding Ottoman architecture. With Greece as a case study, the present paper identifies change in the quantity of Ottoman buildings considering the archetypal, functional, chronological, and geographical evidence, in the changing context of the nature of the Ottoman rule over centuries.
The scholar provides new statistics presenting the numbers of Ottoman buildings in Greece over centuries, with special reference to three periods: the second half of the 17th century (time of EvliyâÇelebi), the late period of the Ottoman rule in Greece (based on Iyverdi’s statistics, the Ottoman slanames, and Kamûs-ülÂ'lâm of Şemseddin), and the existing architectural heritage in light of the recent publications and fieldworks’ results.
Through statistical methods, this research identifies quantitative change of several types of buildings, proper to each region or in Greece as a whole.It observes the growth or decay of the pace of construction on the basis of three main factors: type of building, period, and region. The most significant results come from the comparison between the numbers of the Ottoman buildings in Greece dating to Evliyâ’s time at the end of the 17th century and the last decades of the Ottoman rule.
The statistic table and the two charts with function and region indexes clarify to what extent the change in the number of buildings according to their function and region summarises the different phases of the Ottoman rule and the nature of each phase. The paper shows that the change in the numbers of buildings according to their function summarizes the alteration in nature of the Ottoman policy over the centuries, and the numbers of extant buildings strongly relate to the history and site of the corresponding regions. The paper clarifies that the reasons beyond the demolition of ottoman buildings in Greece include both human and natural factors, and concludes with a recommendation of preserving and reuse of extant ottoman structures.

Ce patrimoine humain est ce que nous ont légué de mieux nos ancêtres tout au long des âges. Celui qui visite les sites de l’Egypte quelle qu’en soit l’époque, l’architecture ou la décoration ne peut que s’écrier : « Loué soit Dieu ! Loué soit Dieu l’unique l’éternel ! Loué soit Dieu qui a enseigné à l’homme ce qu’il ignorait ! Combien de personnes avant nous ces sites ont-ils vu passées ! Par qui ont-ils été habités ! Comment ? Pourquoi ? ». Plusieurs questions qui mènent toutes à une seule exclamation : « Loué soit Dieu ! ». Ce patrimoine architectural et artistique constitue l’histoire visible de la civilisation de l’Egypte tout au long des âges avec tour à tour ses périodes de puissance et de prospérité, celles de régression et de faiblesse, et ses conditions entre celles-ci et celles-là. Néanmoins, voir de ses propres yeux ce patrimoine matériel produit plus d’effet que de lire les livres des historiens ou de regarder les illustrations des manuscrits. Ce livre présente un exemple du patrimoine architectural humain : la maison du Prince Ibrahim Katkhoda El-Sinnari située à quelques pas de la mosquée d’El-Sayeda Zeïnab. Outre la valeur patrimoniale, architecturale et artistique que possède la maison, elle concrétise l’histoire du Caire à une époque de transformation cruciale de l’histoire de notre Egypte bien aimée, celle de la fin de l’époque ottomane et l’arrivée de l’Expédition militaire française. La biographie du propriétaire de la maison décrit le régime de gouvernance à cette époque historique, dont il a été lui-même un des outils. La maison Sinnari constitue l’un des exemples de bâtiments résidentiels les plus beaux parmi les maisons et les palais appartenant aux princes et aux grands hommes d’Etat durant l’époque ottomane. Son propriétaire et constructeur en a fait un waqf en vertu d’une « hogga » transcrite au tribunal et conservée jusqu’à ce jour dans Préface
8 La maison Sinnari
les archives du Ministère égyptien des Waqfs (Awqaf). Ce Document constitue un trésor de données d’une très grande utilité pour de nombreuses sciences telles que l’histoire, l’archéologie, la documentation, la langue, la jurisprudence musulmane, la jurisprudence du bâtiment, le droit musulman (la charia) et le waqf. Mais ce qui est surtout fantastique, c’est cette description architecturale minutieuse de la maison figurant dans le Document quasi identique à l’état actuel des lieux. La maison revêt – outre sa grande valeur architecturale et artistique – une importance historique particulière, vu que son histoire est liée à la campagne d’Egypte (1797-1801), lors de laquelle y ont séjourné des membres de la Commission des Sciences et des Arts faisant partie de l’Expédition et en grande partie des peintres et des ingénieurs. L’histoire et l’architecture de la maison Sinnari captivent quiconque s’y intéresse et le portent à vouloir en savoir davantage. Le meilleur moyen de découvrir ce site magnifique est d’en visiter les lieux et de connaître les détails de son histoire et de son architecture. C’est ce que tend de faire ce livre. Je vous invite toutefois à visiter la maison Sinnari – ainsi que les autres sites non moins beaux dont l’Egypte abonde – car voir de ses propres yeux produit inéluctablement un autre effet.

This human heritage is the most wonderful thing left to us by our ancestors over time. Those who visit the monuments of Egypt, from various epochs, locations and with their diverse architecture and embellishments, can only Praise Allah! Praise be to Allah, the Eternal! Praise be to Allah who taught Man what he did not know! Praise be to Allah when we think of the endless numbers of humans who passed by these monuments before us! Who constructed them? How? Why? There are so many questions that take us in the end back to say Praise be to Allah. This architectural and artistic heritage represents a visual history of Egyptian civilization across various epochs of prosperity and power, as well as periods of weakness, with all the moments in between. Seeing this physical heritage with one’s own eyes has a greater impact than reading the books written by historians or viewing facsimiles of manuscripts. This book is a survey of one such human architectural heritage, namely the House of Prince Ibrahim Katkhuda al-Sinnari, located only a few steps away from the Mosque of Sayeda Zeinab. In addition to the architectural and artistic value of the monument, it embodies the history of Cairo during a pivotal era of Egypt’s history, namely the end of the Ottoman Era and the advent of the Egyptian Campaign. The translation of the house-owner depicts the system of rule during that historical period, to which he himself was an essential instrument. The Sinnari House represents one of the finest examples of residential buildings, be they houses or palaces owned by princes and statesmen in the Ottoman Era. The owner and founder endowed the house by force of a
legitimate deed registered with the Sharia Court, and which is now kept in the archives of the Egyptian Ministry of Religious Endowments. The deed is a treasure of information, which is useful in various fields, such as history, archaeology, documents, language, philology, jurisprudence, Sharia and endowments. The meticulous architectural description of the house in the document is amazing, for it almost coincides with the current state of the house. In addition to its great architectural and artistic value, the house has a special historical significance, in particular in terms of its connection with Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign (1798–1801). A number of the members of the scientific and cultural committee, mostly painters and engineers, lodged in the house. The history and the architecture of al-Sinnari House captivate all those who are interested, whetting their appetite to find out more. The best means to explore this wonderful monument is to visit it, and learn about the details of its history and architecture. This is the purpose of the book in hand. I, thus, invite you to visit al‑Sinnari House—and the other fine monuments of Egypt—in reality; for to see for oneself is a totally different experience.

هذا التراث المعماري والفني يمثل التاريخ المرئي لحضارة مصر عبر العصور بفترات ازدهارها وقوتها، وحقب انكماشها وضعفها، وأحوالها ما بين هذا وذاك. ورؤية هذا التراث المادي رأي العين أعظم أثراً في النفس من قراءة كتب المؤرخين أو حتى مشاهدة تصاوير المخطوطات.
ويعرض هذا الكتاب لنموذج من التراث المعماري الإنساني وهو منزل الأمير إبراهيم كتخدا السناري الكائن علي بعد خطوات من مسجد السيدة زينب. وفضلاً عن قيمة المنزل المعمارية والفنية الأثرية فهو يجسد تاريخ القاهرة في فترة تحول جوهرية من تاريخ مصرنا الحبيبة ألا وهي نهاية العصر العثماني ومجيء الحملة الفرنسية علي مصر. فترجمة صاحب المنزل تعرض لنظام الحكم في تلك الفترة التاريخية والذي كان هو نفسه أحد أدواته.
ويمثل منزل السناري أحد أروع أمثلة العمائر السكنية من دور وقصور الأمراء ورجال الدولة الكبار في العصر العثماني. وقد أوقف صاحب المنزل ومنشئه هذا المنزل بموجب حجة شرعية مسجلة بالمحكمة الشرعية ومحفوظة إلي الآن بأرشيف وزارة الأوقاف المصرية. وهذه الحجة كنز معلوماتي يفيد في علوم شتي منها علوم التاريخ، والآثار، والوثائق، واللغة، والفقه، وفقه البنيان، والشريعة والوقف... ومن المدهش الوصف المعماري الدقيق للمنزل الذي أوردته الوثيقة والذي يكاد يتطابق مع الوضع الحالي للمنزل.
واتسم المنزل –فضلاً عن قيمته المعمارية والفنية الكبيرة– بأهمية تاريخية خاصة حيث ارتبط تاريخ منزل السناري بالحملة الفرنسية علي مصر (1798-1801م)؛ حيث أقام فيه عدد من أعضاء لجنة العلوم والفنون ضمن الحملة، وكان غالبيتهم من الرسامين والمهندسين.
إن تاريخ وعمارة منزل السناري يأسران كل من يتابعهما فيتلهف لمعرفة المزيد عنهما. وخير وسيلة لاكتشاف هذا الأثر الرائع هو زيارته والتعرف علي تفاصيل تاريخه وعمارته وهذا هو ما يهدف إليه هذا الكتاب. وأدعوكم لزيارة منزل السناري–وغيره من الآثار الجميلة التي تزخر بها مصر– في الواقع فالرؤية بالعين لها وقع آخر في النفس.

During the next century i.e. the 15th c. almost all the lands of Greece were dominated by the Ottomans. During the ottoman domination of Greece the Ottomans built an immense number of religious, welfare and public establishments. The dissertation aims to detect the byzantine influences on the ottoman architecture of Greece. This kind of comparative studies enriches the understanding of both cultures and promotes the communication between them. I selected this subject in order to show better the continuity of art and architecture practices sponsored by two different patrons with different religions, aiming to investigate the origins of the ottoman architecture in its formation stage. The research is presented through preface, introduction, three introductive topics, the catalogue of the 15 selected ottoman monuments, four chapters which discuss the main items of the research, bibliography and tables. The descriptive study includes 15 selected ottoman monuments of the study in chronological order, to facilitate the understanding of the character of the ottoman architecture in general and of the ottoman mosque in Greece above all. The analytical study of the dissertation "The Byzantine influences on the Early Ottoman architecture in Greece", which, in the light of the descriptive study of the ottoman monuments in Greece, draws the conclusions of the research through four main chapters: a) Chapter I discusses the site of the ottoman monuments in relation to the pre-existing byzantine monuments through eight main points : the Ottoman construction activities using the pre-existing towns in Greece, the Ottoman construction activities after capturing a region of the Byzantine State, the categories of the construction activities of the Ottomans in Greece, selecting the sites of the Ottomans' foundations, the use of the existing buildings of Byzantine towns, reuse of an existing building with (or without) limited alterations or additions, reuse of the existing site of a ruined building (location) and the impact of the reuse of the older sites. b) In Chapter II the materials and the building techniques of the ottoman monuments in Greece are discussed, showing the continuity of the byzantine practices in the light of the following points : the ottoman monuments in Greece and their building materials (structural and secondary), and the building techniques which comprise the construction of foundations and walls, the formation of the facades as well as the surface ornamentation. c) Chapter III deals with the plan and the architectural elements of the ottoman mosques in Greece showing the byzantine influences. We propose a new typology of the ottoman mosques in Greece which suggest eight types: The Single-unit Mosque, the Single-unit Mosque with side rooms, the Single-unit Mosque with articulated interior, the Eywan mosque, the quatrefoil plan, the courtyard mosque, the multi- domed mosque and the octagonal mosque. Furthermore the portico "rewaq" and the transition systems are discussed. The discussion shows the byzantine influence on the transition system and on the plan including the use of the pendentives, the use of the half-dome and the influence of the "cross-in-square or Quincunx" byzantine plan. In the same chapter which deals with the architectural elements of the ottoman mosques in Greece, domes, arches, mihrabs, columns and windows are included, which reflect similarities with the byzantine architecture. d) Chapter IV is a conclusion showing that the byzantine architecture constitutes one of the fundamental origins of the ottoman architecture. This presentation discusses the relationship between the Byzantine and the Islamic civilization through their history, showing the impact of this contact especially on the Islamic architecture. The dissertation concludes that the byzantine architecture forms one of the basic origins of the Ottoman architecture of Greece. And certify that the byzantine practices continued in the Ottoman architecture with the byzantine craftsmen

IN THIS ISSUE OF IJOT
The 6th edition of the International Journal of Turkology
is dedicated to an unknown and forgotten city on the Ottoman
borderland. The city of Ismail – or in Ukrainian
Izmail – on the northern Kilia branch of Danube River,
some 70 kilometers away from the Black sea, is now a
sleeping city with no crossing, no bridge and not customs
authority, even though its located a few hundred
meters away from the border to Romania, which is on
the other side of the Danube.
Ismail was once a thrilling city, with a multi-ethnic
community. The city was established in 1589 by an Ottoman
Black Eunuch, Chief of Sultans harem, Abyssinian
Mehmed Agha, who dedicated the incomes form the
city to the Holy cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem.
Ismail was important because it was located on a famous
crossing point of Danube. Before the Ottomans, it
was yearly visited and looted by brigands. The Ottoman
Sultan Murad III decided to establish a fortress and a
city, and the order was given to Habeshi Mehmed Agha,
who with great efforts mobilized a whole set of Ottoman
government bodies to found the city within a few years.
In that year, all the infrastructure for a prosperous city
was implemented. A fortress, a Khan, a Mosque, a customs
authority, a shipyard, etc. were established. Ismail
became a prosperous city for the coming 200 years.
Located at a crossing point, the city was attacked
by Russian troops in the 17th and 18th century Ottoman-
Russian wars. In 1790, under the famous attack
by general Suvorov, the city was burned and the civil
population was excarnated by Russian Troops. The city
never recovered from this attack, and in 1856 – with
the treaty of Paris – the fortress was demolished, and
the Ottoman local Muslim population left. The Russians
established a new city near the old city. This new local
population never showed any interest in the old city, and
so the city fell into amnesia.
In 2019, the editors of this volume Mehmet Tütüncü
and Andrey Krasnozhon has published a book (see
back cover of this journal for further information) that
clarifies and discloses the documentation on the city’s
200 years existence from 1590 until 1790. The book,
published in the Ukraine and Turkish language, was received
very well. The articles in this Journal is a follow
up on our monography on Ismail. In this volume, we
have included some new research about Ismail.
The first article is from Andrey Krasnozhon, who
gives an introduction into Ismail’s short but interesting
city life, from its establishment to its destruction.
The second article by Mehmet Emin Yılmaz is about
the only remnant of Ottoman Ismail. It is the Habeshi
Mehmed Agha Mosque which is very beautiful and picturesque
and the oldest of the region. This mosque, with
its cupola, is a gem of Ottoman architecture. For a long
time it was used as a church, and nowadays it is used
as a DIORAMA panorama museum of attack of Ismail.
Mehmet Emin Yilmaz an architect from Ankara with
years-long experience, has done an attempt to research
the original mosque and its features.
The third article is about the Danube and its ships.
During our research, we found a map in Russian archives
which also enclosed a map of the city, which is
published in our monography last year. But this map has
also very interesting drawings of boats, ships, and carriers
in the Danube river. Dr. Okay Sütcüoğlu from Antalya
University has made a meticulous study of these
boats and their origins.
The fourth article is by dr. Berat Açıl from Istanbul’s
Şehir University. He has studied a part of the waqfıyye
of Habeshi Mehmet Agha, which also was published in
our book. This waqfiye enumerates books possessed by
Habeshi Mehmed Agha. This article gives insight into
the life and the library and intellectual interests of an
Ottoman statesman.
The last article is by Hulya Yarar Cakiroglu who has
discovered and translated Ottoman documents which
gives information about the attack on Ismail of 1790.
There is much literature about this attack from the Russian
side, but information from Ottoman the side is very
rare.
We hope to have prepared an interesting periodical.
We have enough material fora second Ismail issue which
is planned in October this year.
