دانلود کتاب Travellers in Ottoman Lands: The Botanical Legacy

This collection of around twenty papers has its origins in a two-day seminar organised by the Association for the Study of Travel in Egypt and the Near East (ASTENE) in conjunction with the Centre for Middle Eastern Plants at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (RBGE), with additional support from Cornucopia magazine and the Turkish Consulate General, Edinburgh. This multi-disciplinary event formed part of the Ottoman Horizons festival held in Edinburgh in 2017 and attracted a wide range of participants from around the world, including several from Turkey and other parts of the Middle East. This splendidly illustrated book focuses on the botanical legacy of many parts of the former Ottoman Empire — including present-day Turkey, the Levant, Egypt, the Balkans, and the Arabian Peninsula — as seen and described by travellers both from within and from outside the region. The papers cover a wide variety of subjects, including Ottoman garden design and architecture; the flora of the region, especially bulbs and their cultural significance; literary, pictorial and photographic depictions of the botany and horticulture of the Ottoman lands; floral and related motifs in Ottoman art; culinary and medicinal aspects of the botanical heritage; and efforts related to conservation.Table of ContentsForeword – by Semih Lütfü Turgut, Turkish Consul General in EdinburghPreface – by Sabina KneesIntroduction to Travellers in Ottoman Lands: The Botanical Legacy – by Paul StarkeyAcknowledgements – by Paul StarkeyTHE OTTOMAN EMPIRE1 The Ottoman Empire: an introduction to its history and heritage – by Ines Aščerić-ToddTHE OTTOMAN GARDEN2 Presenting and re-presenting Ottoman imperial gardens in manuscript illustrations: the case of the Oxford Dilsūznāmah, dated AH 860/AD 1455–1456, Edirne – by Susan Scollay3 Ottoman fruit cultivation as reflected in Evliya Çelebi’s Book of Travels 43Priscilla Mary Işın4 Gardens of Istanbul in Persian hajj travelogues – by Güllü Yıldız5 The public space of the Bakewell Ottoman Garden – by Radha DalalBOTANIST-TRAVELLERS6 Dioscorides’ legacy: a classical precursor to travellers in Ottoman lands – by Alison Denham7 Botanical explorations by Frederik Hasselquist (1749–1752) and Pehr Forsskål (1761–1763): Linné’s apostles in the Holy Land – by Tobias Mörike8 From Ottoman Aleppo to Edinburgh: the botanical legacies of Adam Freer MD and his colleagues – by Janet Starkey9 The botanist Carl Haussknecht (1838–1903) in the Ottoman Empire and Persia (1865 and 1866–1869): a biographical sketch and itinerary of his expeditions – by Frank H.
