Abstract

Abstract Composed for the Vienna World’s Fair in 1873, Ottoman Architecture was the earliest modern book-length survey of built material heritage produced by the Ottomans themselves. Translated now into English and with the original illustrations fully reproduced, this electronic edition is accompanied by a critical essay introducing this monumental volume as a textual and visual resource for exploring how Ottomans made sense of their place in the history of world architecture.
