Architecture and Landscape in Medieval Anatolia, 1100-1500, Hardback Book

Architecture and Landscape in Medieval Anatolia, 1100-1500 Hardback

Edited by Patricia Blessing, Rachel Goshgarian

Hardback

Description

Anatolia was home to a large number of polities in the medieval period.

Given its location at the geographical and chronological juncture between Byzantines and the Ottomans, its story tends to be read through the Seljuk experience.

This obscures the multiple experiences and spaces of Anatolia under the Byzantine empire, Turko-Muslim dynasties contemporary to the Seljuks, the Mongol llkhanids, and the various beyliks of eastern and western Anatolia.

This book looks beyond political structures and towards a reconsideration of the interactions between the rural and the urban; an analysis of the relationships between architecture, culture and power; and an examination of the region's multiple geographies.

In order to expand historiographical perspectives it draws on a wide variety of sources (architectural, artistic, documentary and literary), including texts composed in several languages (Arabic, Armenian, Byzantine Greek, Persian and Turkish).
