This review is from: Architecture, Ceremonial, and Power: The Topkapi Palace in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries (Architectural History Foundation Book) (Hardcover)
This is a very well written historical analysis. Necipoglu takes the Palace as an object to be used to explain/understand the Ottoman State in this period and does not leave out the architectural forms. Attention paid to detail is makes this book very valuable. Beyond that her fluent writing style makes reading this into fun. A must-have for anyone interested in Ottoman history. Necipoglu does not talk to a specific audience in her writing and I think that exactly makes her writing so fluent. Nevertheless she accomplishes to transmit knowledge and maybe even gives us a glimpse into how knowledge is acquired with her amazing research ability. Enjoy! |
