(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Torun, Muhammet Fatih; FAROQHI, Suraiya
This thesis offers a contextual examination of the 1675 imperial festival which took place in Edirne (Adrianople) during the reign of Mehmed IV (r. 1648-1687). It intends to present a holistic approach to the festival, after the study of Özdemir Nutku in 1972. Distinctively, this study manifests the grounds of the Ottoman court’s affairs for a festival gargantuan in scale at the late seventeenth century, as well as show many unseen layers of the festival. For the first time in the field, it introduces the firework expenses of a state-sponsored festival, revealing previously unexamined phases of such pyrotechnics broadly. Each section of this work crosschecks textual narratives of the primary sources, including the most known as well as unfamiliar festival books, eyewitness diaries, and state annals, taking into consideration the context of the authors. In addition, this study investigates ignored dimensions of this event, such as the construction of time and space in the festival. Hence this thesis presents a renewal of the conventional narration regarding this princely festival.
