"Lavishly illustrates and documents the artifacts of an age. Much of the material reproduced here and included in a companion exhibition has never been shown before. Included are Golden Horn and Rhodian ceramics from Iznik, opulent silks from Bursa, exquisitely illuminated manuscripts and a rich array of Ottoman metalwork, an area largely unknown in the West. This volume is a visual treasure and will serve as a handbook on Ottoman decorative arts." Also included are calligraphy and painting. Introduction on the Ottoman style, by Petsopoulos.
