Beyond looking at various moments in the city's life from 1800 to 1955, the exhibition also considers the dynamic of Istanbul as a center of gravity attracting the monetary and intellectual wealth of empires to further knowledge of Byzantium, ultimately resulting in the emergence of Byzantine studies as a discipline. The accompanying volume brings together thirteen scholarly papers by Beatrice Daskas, Ceren Abi, Firuzan Melike Sumertas, Mertkan Karaca, Philipp Niewohner, Edhem Eldem, Pinar Aykac, Kerim Altug, Jean-Michel Spieser, Elena N. Boeck, Jonathan Bardill, Barbara Bessac and Remi Labrusse, focusing on archaeology, history, art history, architectural history, urbanism, museology, cultural heritage, as well as an explanatory introduction by the exhibition curator Brigitte Pitarakis.
