EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of "Macrocosm, from Zubdet ut Tevarih by Lokman" created in 1583. The vellum manuscript, housed in the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, is a masterpiece of Turkish art from the 16th century. The image transports us into a celestial realm filled with symbolism and mystique. A circular map dominates the composition, adorned with Arabic text and featuring constellations that represent various zodiac signs. Each sign is beautifully illustrated with meticulous detail and accompanied by its corresponding symbol. Winged angels gracefully hover around this cosmic landscape, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The artist's skillful use of illumination brings life to every element depicted - from fire to water and earth to air - symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things within our universe. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and Islamic influences prevalent during Ottoman times. This astrological manuscript not only serves as a visual feast but also reflects the profound interest in astrology among Muslim scholars at that time. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery displayed by Lokman and gain insight into how ancient civilizations perceived their place within a vast macrocosm. It stands as a testament to human curiosity about our existence beyond Earth's boundaries while showcasing Turkey's historical significance as a hub for intellectual pursuits during this era.
