    In the dream realm of a sixteenth-century Ottoman biographer: Taşköprizade and the sufi shaykhs
    (Taylor and Francis, 2012) N/A; Department of History; Niyazioğlu, Aslı; Faculty Member; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    In the mid-tenth/sixteenth century, the Ottoman elite lived in a milieu marked by intense construction activity, in which they inscribed themselves and the components of their empire in both paper and stone. While sultans, pashas and royal women patrons built their complexes and established endowments, the learned circles presented themselves in the public realm by constructing biographical dictionaries. One of these compilers was Taşköprizade (901-68/ 1495-1561) who worked on his biographical project in Istanbul at a time when a number of immense complexes such as Süleymaniye were being built, and new domes and minarets were rising across the city skyline.

    Dreams and lives in Ottoman Istanbul a seventeenth-century biographer's perspective epilogue

    Dreams and Lives in Ottoman Istanbul explores biography writing and dream narratives in seventeenth-century Istanbul. It focuses on the prominent biographer ‘Aṭā’ī (d. 1637) and with his help shows how learned circles narrated dreams to assess their position in the Ottoman enterprise. This book demonstrates that dreams provided biographers not only with a means to form learned communities in a politically fragile landscape but also with a medium to debate the correct career paths and social networks in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Istanbul.By adopting a comparative approach, this book engages with current scholarly dialogues about life-writing, dreams, and practices of remembrance in Habsburg Spain, Safavid Iran, Mughal India and Ming China. Recent studies have shown the shared rhythms between these contemporaneous dynasties and the Ottomans, and there is now a strong interest in comparative approaches to examining cultural life. This first English-language monograph on Ottoman dreamscapes addresses this interest and introduces a world where dreams changed lives, the dead appeared in broad daylight, and biographers invited their readers to the gardens of remembrance.
