Scholarly yet accessible, the text details the sophisticated court culture, imperial patronage, and artistic innovation that defined sixteenth-century Istanbul as a world capital of art and power. It remains an essential and authoritative reference for anyone seeking to understand the splendour of the Ottoman world at its height.
