- Title
Vakfiye and Inscriptions: An Interpretation of the Written Records of the Atik Valide Mosque Complex.
- Authors
Kayaalp, Pinar
- Abstract
The article presents a textual analysis of the endowment deed (vakfiye) and epigraphic programme of the Atik Valide Mosque Complex, located in Istanbul, Turkey, commissioned by Nurbanu, the Queen Mother of Sultan Murad III. It reflects that the vakfiye has allowed the shift of the Ottoman polity from an expansionary to a sedentary for the perpetuation of the Ottoman empire. It deciphers the written records of the Atik Valide Mosque Complex to study the socio-political dynamics of the empire.
