Description
Reviews
"This book is distinctive for the directness with which it addresses its subject. While earlier Ottoman art and architecture have gestured toward connections with the Renaissance, these connections are presented here in a lucid and systematic way that will engender considerable discussion, inviting a general re-evaluation of what we mean by 'The Renaissance." -- Giancarlo Casale, Professor of Early Modern History of the Mediterranean, University of Minnesota and author of "The Ottoman Age of Exploration"
