Constantinople through the Ages

The Visible City from Its Foundation to Contemporary Istanbul

Series:
Cultural Interactions in the Mediterranean, Volume: 08

Volume Editors: Diederik Burgersdijk, Fokke Gerritsen, and Willemijn Waal

Constantinople Through the Ages aims to map the long and rich history of Constantinople, from its foundations to the present. Starting point is the ?visible city?; the ways in which continuity and change in history are still observable in present-day Istanbul. The contributors, each of them foremost experts in their fields, address the interaction between the different layers of time from various sources and perspectives. They explore how later inhabitants received and appropriated the legacy of their predecessors, and how the city?s tangible and intangible heritage has been perceived and (ab)used in both the past and the present.
