Studies on
Istanbul and Beyond
The Freely Papers, Volume 1
edited by Robert G. Ousterhout
Written by recipients of the John Freely Fellowship awarded annually
through the American Research Institute in Turkey from a major gift
from the Joukowsky Family Foundation of New York to honor a celebrated
author of travel and history books, this volume focuses particular
attention on the city of Istanbul, its history, and institutions during
the Ottoman and Republican periods. Chapters by young scholars consider
the office of the Ottoman Court Historian, opposing voices during
the reign of Sultan Süleyman, naming Turkish Sabbatians, Istanbul’s
population variables, and changes in Turkish tobacco production.
Robert G. Ousterhout is Professor of Byzantine Art and Architecture
and Director of the Center for Ancient Studies, University of Pennsylvania.
