In the first section of the work, İnalcık compiles his various studies on the repopulation and reconstruction activities of Istanbul after its conquest.

Those visitors who held a pen in their hand would invariably write a travelogue, mostly describing the vanished Eastern Roman Empire and the harem, which they could never actually enter. However, the American man of letters Francis Marion-Crawford, who had embraced this city, described a completely different Istanbul, with all its nooks and crannies and its people on the streets. From people's home and street lives to their eating and drinking habits, from shopping customs in the Grand Bazaar to disappointments in the Horse Market, he covered many things... Crawford, a celebrated author in his time, presents the Istanbul we heard about from past generations, embellished with the meticulousness of his own observational power, alongside the little-known drawings of his friend Edwin Lord Weeks. Francis Marion-Crawford (1854-1909) was born in Italy to a wealthy Bostonian family. After his education in the USA, he returned to Rome in 1869. He had a great interest in foreign languages and cultures. He could fluently speak and write nearly 20 languages, including Turkish. His life changed in India, where he went to advance his Sanskrit studies. He had to work as a newspaper editor to make a living. However, a novel he wrote based on the people he met and the stories he heard during this period became a turning point in his career. He quickly became known and widely read in the USA. In 1884, he married in Istanbul. He lived in Istanbul for a year and visited it many times until the mid-1890s. He was the first to bring Sicilian families and the mafia into literature with his four novels.

new edition of the book “Cennetin Kapıları \/ Gates of Paradise”, which describes the unique stone sculptures of Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital within Anatolian architectural development and unrivaled in the history of Islamic art, was published by YEM Publishing with the valuable contributions of Rönesans Holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In the Turkish-English book, accompanied by Cemal Emden's very special photographs, the stone sculptures of Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital, dated 1228\/29, which remained unique in the architectural development in Anatolia and are unparalleled in the history of Islamic art, are presented during the art era known as Anatolian Seljuk Architecture between the 12th and 14th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDoğan Kuban, in his book examining the position of these sculptures, which have no other parallel in the history of world art as well as in Islamic and Turkish arts, within the universal concept of sculpture, says the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Among the masters of the building, only one’s name, ‘Hürremşah of Ahlat’, is given once in both the mosque and the hospital. It is probable that the design of the buildings and a part of the stone sculptures are the creation of this artist from Ahlat. The sculptural program realized to decorate the monumental portals in the building moved the ornamentation away from its complementary role to the architecture, creating an extraordinary work that sculpted stone carving. It is these sculptural stone carvings that make Divriği art original and famous. However, beyond this aesthetic quality, the North (Qibla) Portal, designed as a virtual Gate of Paradise, is perhaps the only image of a gate of paradise in the history of Islamic art. In this respect, it should have a very important place in Islamic culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWestern culture has created a vision of world art history within its own historical expansions, and the art traditions of the entire world are presented with interpretations filtered through the European art vision. In European sculpture history, the subject is fundamentally the human figure. Since the Islamic tradition rejects figurative art as a principle, Islamic stone carving has been evaluated in the category of ornamentation in world art history. Although since the development of the concept of abstract art, the subject of the figure has ceased to be a mandatory feature of the concept of painting and sculpture. However, this situation has neither eliminated the existence nor the effect of a broad theoretical and critical thought based on the tradition of figurative art. Furthermore, the place of Islamic art structures, which have been excluded from the thousands of years of figurative art tradition, is limited in world art history, even if on a universal scale. Divriği sculpture is an art phenomenon unparalleled in Islamic art...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the author of this book, the portals of Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital have characteristics that we would place in the category of artistic activity that Western art history defines as 'sculpture'. Although similarities that can be found in sculptural techniques and forms in different cultural environments cannot be considered as stylistic similarities. It has been shown in this book with undeniable examples that the professional encounter between the artist carving the stone and the material leads to similar behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe comparisons made in this book are illuminating in terms of the character of Hürremşah's sculpture. However, in the Western art tradition where all criteria are based on the 'representation' of the human figure, calling Divriği sculpture 'sculpture' only seems possible when we reach the 20th century.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGATES OF PARADISE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheSculpture of Hürremşah at Divriği Ulucami and Şifahane\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“The book you are holding in your hand is devoted to the description of the Stones culpture of the Divriği Ulucami and Şifahane (Great Mosque and Hospital of Divriği) (1228\/29), a glorious example of 12\u003csup\u003eth \u003c\/sup\u003eto 14\u003csup\u003eth \u003c\/sup\u003ecentury Anatolian Seljuk architecture and a truly unique phenomenon in the history of Islamic art.

For example, the fact that the staircase, one of the most magnificent elements of architectural history, was not used as an important design element in Ottoman architecture before the 19th century, and that designs such as the Scala Reggia or the staircase hall of Würzburg Palace never developed in Turkey, is an architectural history problem that deserves contemplation. Similarly, seeking answers to questions about dimensions, symmetry, and ornamentation; examining the content of the desires and aspirations behind the wills that created houses, palaces, and mosques; is more important than merely displaying buildings as a cultural showcase. The fact that Sinan continued his research until he reached the Selimiye; the fact that Nuruosmaniye, built 20 years after the Hekimoğlu Ali Paşa Mosque, could be designed and implemented with such a bold interpretation at that time, are as important as the buildings themselves.

The Artistic Stages of the Western Migration treats the art traditions of prehistoric steppe societies, Central Asian, Timurid, and Seljuk art as continuous phases of the long migration westward. It paints a striking picture of the interaction between steppe societies and the creations of settled societies, especially China; Timurid art with Indian and Iranian styles; and Anatolian-Turkish art with Middle Eastern traditions.
