The Garden of the Mosques: Hafiz Huseyin al-Ayvansarayi’s Guide to the Muslim Monuments of Ottoman Istanbul

This is an annotated translation of what is perhaps the most important Ottoman literary source for the architectural monuments and urban form of the Ottoman capital, Istanbul: Hafiz Huseyin bin Ismail Ayvansarayi’s Hadikat al-Cevami (The Garden of Mosques). There are also separate descriptions of each of Istanbul’s more than 800 mosques, plus accounts of its medreses, tombs, tekkes and other pious foundations.
