Turkman Governors Shiraz Artisans and Ottoman Collectors – Sixteenth Century Shiraz Manuskripts

Lâle Uluç completed her Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts, New YorkUniversity. She is currently teaching at BoğaziçiUniversity, Istanbul.

Uluç explores the intriguing story of a group of 16^th century Shiraz manuskripts and how they found their way into the collections of the Topkapi Palace Museum in Turkman Governors, Shiraz Artisans and Ottoman Collectors:

She examines how the arts of the book of Shiraz, a Safavid provincial center, evolved to a degree that could compete with the court workshops.

Supported by anonymous patrons, the artisans–illuminators, calligraphers, painters and bookbinders developed their own workshop traditions and introduced many new elements inspired by Safavid court manuskripts.

The book also examines how some manuskripts reached the Ottoman court as gifts, attracting the attention of the Ottoman ruling elite.

While recounting the long and curious story of sixteenth century Shiraz manuskripts, the book reunites a unique collection of original samples, now scattered in several major cities Istanbul to New York, Tehran to St. Petersburg and Paris to Washington…
