Özet:

Although the lineage of the Ottoman dynasty is included in the early history books, the first silsilenâme in the schematic world history style, belongs to the period of Bayezid II (1481-1512). It is possible to say that this species continues its development until the late periods in the Ottoman Empire with this small and non-pictured work. It is observed that during the reign of Süleyman I (1520-66), when the state was transformed into an empire and its political identity evolved, the interest in this species increased and the genealogies diversified. Historians such as Derviş Mehmed bin Ramazan, Yusuf bin Abdullatif and Şerif Şefii, created genealogies in roll and book format in this period. An extraordinary mobility draws attention in this spieces in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Unlike the examples prepared at the court in the mid-16th century, these genealogies which contain portrait medallions of the sultans were produced in Baghdad, a province of the Ottoman Empire. The main invention of the Baghdad genealogy producers is that they have adopted a model based on vertical lineage rather than horizontal making a radical change in the page design. In addition, the fact that they each have standard design and fiction as if they were from one hand, makes this manuscript group different. For this reason, these works prepared with certain motivation on the same dates should be considered as a whole. Our focus in this study is to examine these works prepared in Baghdad on the basis of illustrated copies in terms of fiction and design and to reveal the differences between previous examples prepared in the Islamic world.
