Product Description
-Anatolia's Most Beautiful Wooden Mosques Published as a Book…
-240 entirely wooden or wooden-pillared mosques in Turkey were compiled in a book for the first time
Reflecting the most exquisite taste of Turkish-Islamic culture, crafted and revived with great effort over many years, entirely wooden or wooden-pillared mosques were compiled in a book for the first time and presented to the Turkish reader.
The book titled "Wooden Mosques of Anatolia," prepared by journalist-writer Hüseyin Tunçay and published by Tunçay Yayıncılık, covers wooden mosques inherited from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, which are among the most significant works created after the Turks settled in Anatolia.
As prime examples of meeting general needs with local resources, these intricately carved wooden mosques are now slowly succumbing to time, rapidly disappearing, sometimes due to fires, and sometimes by being unconsciously demolished under the guise of modernization. Although there have been local and academic studies on wooden mosques, the oldest of which dates back 800 years, the book 'Wooden Mosques of Anatolia' stands out as the most comprehensive work written on wooden mosques in Turkey due to the number of mosques it includes.
It is stated that the book aims to draw attention to wooden mosques, increase awareness in this field, and contribute to transmitting these beautiful and rare works to future generations by compiling them in one book. One of the details highlighted in the book is that some wooden mosques, especially in the Black Sea region, are sold as firewood to bakers.
The study presents the most beautiful examples of entirely wooden or wooden-pillared mosques from 31 provinces across Anatolia, predominantly in the Black Sea region, but also including Ankara, Istanbul, Konya, Çorum, Afyon, İzmit, Eskişehir, and Denizli.
Alongside well-known masterpieces of wooden mosques in Turkey such as Beyşehir Eşrefoğlu Mosque, Sivrihisar Grand Mosque, Afyon Grand Mosque, and Samsun Göğceli Mosque, this book reveals other equally valuable but lesser-known mosques. It is also a little-known fact that the United Nations has included many wooden mosques in the World Cultural Heritage. It appears that many of these rare works in numerous provinces are unknown even to the people living around them. Konya Bozkır Asarlık, Trabzon Dernekpazarı Kondu, Kastamonu Mahmut Bey, Denizli Savran, and Yazır mosques are just some of these rare works. The book also features the Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque, whose wooden galleries were built by Sultan Abdul Hamid II.
Author Hüseyin Tunçay states that the purpose of the work is to uncover these hidden treasures in Anatolia, to introduce new promotional elements and symbols to provinces, to guide people who wish to see ancestral heritage works, and most importantly, to make a small contribution to transmitting these works to future generations.
Journalist-Writer Tunçay traveled approximately 12,000 kilometers and included 240 wooden and wooden-pillared mosques in 31 provinces in his book. In addition to photographs of these rare works, the book also provides their artistic and historical features and transportation information for those who wish to see them.
