While European eclecticism is examined as a critical moment in western art history, little research has been conducted in the historicist pursuits of late Ottoman architects as they negotiated the nineteenth century's vast inventory of styles and embarked on a revivalist/Orientalist program they identified as the 'Ottoman Renaissance.' Ersoy's book examines the complex historicist discourse underlying this 'renaissance' through a close reading of a text conceived as the movement's canonizing manifesto: the Usul-i Mi'mari-i 'Osmani.
