Ottoman Architectural History Between Sacred and Imagined: A Methodological Attempt for Ottoman Architectural Historiography
Abstract
The study examines the architectural historiography, which is the part
of the sacred production. It aims to analyse the Ottoman architectural historiography
periodically by going through certain cult figures and their artistic
works. The historical texts are divided periodically and each period's
historiographical perspective is examined. It is hypothesized that some
texts produce a sacred historiography while the others tend to present the
materials utilized by them as sacred. The study seeks to illustrate these
approaches through the examples. Furthermore, the possibility of third
method of historiography is questioned by moving away from the sanctification
aforementioned. In this respect, a historiography beyond the sacred
production is tested by using some particular fragments. It is intended in
this article to bring forward a debate on Ottoman architectural historiography
by the suggestion put forward.
