Sufism

Who was Mimar Sinan? Pierpont, intrigued by the work of the Ottoman dynasty'ss premier architect and surprised that it had not been made accessible to the public with a handy guide to his monuments, undertook the project herself. Her guide is written in part as Sinan'ss diary, with detailed descriptions of his architectural choices and innovations complementing the diary entries; a must for the traveler to Turkey!
