Product Description

We are proud to present our new edition Ottoman Athens: Topography, Archeology, History. In collaboration with the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies, at Athens, Ottoman Athens is the first and sole volume to set under investigation the Ottoman presence in Athens. Despite the attraction the city has received recently, no other publications has set forth to examine the ottoman past of Athens, and scrutinize the relevant sources. 12 scholarly articles, from antiquity, to architecture, cartography, daily life and and the Greek War of Independence, aim to shed light upon little studied material, retell the history of Ottoman Athens, but most importantly open up the dialogue between the city and its past. A contribution to the field, Ottoman Athens is available at our premises and selected bookstores.
