Published here in a simplified edition, Istanbul and the Bosphorus: The Immortal Legacy of Byzantine and Ottoman Civilizations deserves to be regarded as one of the most valuable works written in Turkish on the history of Istanbul since Evliya Çelebi’s Book of Travels. It is an important work by Mehmed Ziya Bey, a late Ottoman intellectual known by the nickname “İhtifalci.”
While recounting the Byzantine and Ottoman periods of Istanbul, the author did not merely rely on local and foreign chronicles; he also explored virtually every street of the city himself. As a result, Istanbul and the Bosphorus is not simply a work that conveys evaluations of historical sources. More than that, it is a remarkable document written in the streets of Istanbul and enriched with dozens of illustrations.
