    The relationship between the Anatolian Seljuks and the Ottoman Emirate: A look at interactions in Amasya
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010-01-06) Gündüz, Sema; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Sanat Tarihi Bölümü.
    14th century, the period during which the Emirates arose following the political collapse of the Anatolian Seljuks, manifests the formation of an architectural expressive language of the Ottoman Emirate. When the regional diversities and the period in which the resumption of the Seljuk existence are taken into consideration, the distinction between the Seljuks and the Ottoman Emirate became prominent. An important Danişmendid (1071-1178) centre during the Byzantine period, Amasya, different from several cities in Anatolia, namely Ankara, Tokat, Antalya and Sivas, conquered by Ottoman emirate during the last decades of the 14th century, succeeded in carrying (surviving) the architectural examples of the Seljuks (1071-1308/1318) and Ottomans (1300-1453) till nowadays. Hence, Amasya was the only city witnessing both the architectural activities of the Seljuks and the Ottoman Emirate. As a result of the uninterrupted Seljuk and Ottoman Emirate periods, the traditional reflections of the Seljuks can be surprisingly or rather naturally encountered on the Ottoman architectural monuments of Amasya.
