Byzantium in Early Modern Istanbul

Chapter 21, “Byzantium in Early Modern Istanbul,” highlights the multiple ways in which the Byzantine past was present in and had a bearing on the lives and imaginations of Istanbulites in the post-Byzantine city within the framework of four topics: rupture and ruin, structures of longue durée , translation and notions of antiquarianism, and, finally, the lives and the reflections of Byzantine monuments and spolia.
