It seems likely that you will need to have created a Google account in order to access Google Books offerings. * - It must be understood that in the early days of posting reproductions of old books online there existed several competing formats for their distribution, of which all but PDFs are now obsolete. I can therefore give no guarantee that texts posted in other formats are still available. It may be the case that some libraries have replaced these with PDF’s, so it might be worthwhile to check the catalogue of the library in question.
Garments of the Ottoman Sultans The Turks are a society devoted to their traditions, and this extends to their dress. Şalvar (trousers), inner robes, and kaftan (outer gown or robe) they wore in Central Asia came to Anatolia with the Seljuks (1037-1157) and continued to be worn by the Ottomans. The range of dress worn by the Anatolian Seljuks is revealed through the miniatures and ceramics of the period. The most striking aspects of Seljuks’ dress are the V shape of the neck opening and the decoration of the seam of the outer kaftan where the arm joins the body. This seam normally has a narrow, inscribed band on it known as a tiraz. In the Topkapı Palace Museum in Istanbul, there is a very rich collection of Ottoman garments. Fabrics for Sultan’s Garments In the sixteenth century when the Ottomans were at the peak of their economic and political power, the arts also reached a turning point. Design and Motifs of Nakkaşhane The term nakkaşhane derived from the Persian word “naqsha”; both mean a “pattern” or “design.”
