This is not just a topographical description of Istanbul but also an account of its inhabitants and the regulations governing their lives, of how the Sultan spent his time, of the principles and practice of Islam, and much more.Lewis, Geoffrey is the author of 'Domenico's Istanbul' with ISBN 9780906094365 and ISBN 0906094364.
