Architecture and Landscape in Medieval Anatolia, 1100-1500

摘要

These are exciting times for the study of medieval Anatolia. In recent years there has been a real flourishing of scholarship on the region's various polities, especially the Seljuk sultanate. This work of scholarly reconstruction is an exciting venture for many reasons, not least because of the diverse source base available. Contemporary materials shedding light on this topic were authored in a vast range of languages and were written by authors with many different agendas. There is also a very strong corpus of archaeological/architectural material, including churches, mosques and caravanserais, which form the main point of interest for this present work.
