Özet:

After the military defeats against the European States at the end of the XVII century, the Ottoman Empire began to systematize its relations with the West from the beginning of the XVIII century. “Westernization” movements were carried out more consciously during the reign of Sultan Selim III (1789-1807), especially the traces of the innovations made in the military field have become prominent in culture and art as well as in the social and political field. There were also different applications in the art of book illumination, which had its share of innovations. As a result of the combination of baroque and rococo styles with Turkish taste, works in the style called “Turkish rococo” were produced. However, the classical rules continued to be applied despite the losses in motifs, patterns and techniques. The manuscript that is the subject of this article is the Dîvân-ı İlhâmî copy registered at Istanbul University Rare Works Library T. 5526. Imprint information of the Divan, which is one of the works in the classical style, whose decorations were made meticulously according to its period, is given, and its decorated pages are explained in detail by analyzing the pattern.
