An illustrated survey of Turkish miniature painting from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century. Introduced by Richard Ettinghausen, the volume traces the development of manuscript illumination and miniature painting in Turkey, with particular attention to the artistic traditions of the Ottoman period. The selected works demonstrate the range of subjects, styles and techniques found in Turkish illustrated manuscripts and their relationship to the broader traditions of Islamic art. The introductory text is accompanied by 28 colour plates, including folding plates, providing a compact visual survey of several centuries of Turkish miniature painting.
