Product Description
Hagia Sophia, the largest church in Istanbul during the Byzantine era, and the city's main mosque after the conquest... This sacred structure, regarded in both periods as the result of a divine architectural genius, has been surrounded by a rich culture of hagiographic narratives passed down through centuries. As a result of this belief, Hagia Sophia not only held a significant place in the popular beliefs and legends of the Byzantine era but also became the subject of many narratives and legends in the Turkish era, some transferred from Byzantium and others newly emerged. Among the works written about Hagia Sophia during the Ottoman period, there is a series of treatises that we can briefly call the Hagia Sophia Treatises. Generally based on the same sources, the Hagia Sophia treatises are very similar in content. The differences between them are often limited to whether the narrated events are detailed or summarized, or whether the narration is plain or artistic. The treatises recount the construction of Hagia Sophia and the surrounding events, from its origins to the reign of Justinian, in a hagiographic style. Nevertheless, it can be said that behind this hagiographic narrative lies a substantial amount of historical information, provided it is subjected to a serious filtering process.
Based on this idea, two treatises from the Hagia Sophia Treatises, considered important both for their early writing dates and for serving as sources for later works, have been examined. One of these treatises is Târih-i Beyân-ı Binâ-yı Ayasofya-yı Kebîr by Derviş Şemseddin Karamani, one of the writers from the Fatih period, and the other is Târih-i Ayasofya by Yusuf bin Musa el-Balıkesri, also known as "Müneccim," who lived in the same era. In both treatises, while the construction processes of the sanctuary are narrated, technical information, in addition to hagiographic accounts, is extensively covered. Prepared for publication with both their original Latinized texts and in modern Turkish as a contribution to architectural literature, these treatises are presented to the reader along with a rich visual archive.
