A new collection devoted to the holdings of the Library of Ottoman Studies. First issue: the Stéphane Yerasimos collection

The Centre d'études ottomanes of the Institute of Civilizations of the Collège de France has launched a series of brochures devoted to the specific holdings of the library of Ottoman studies. The first volume is devoted to the collection of Stéphane Yerasimos (1942-2005), an architect and historian specializing in the Ottoman Empire and Istanbul. Some fifty pages trace the researcher's career and the main themes of the documentary collection, accompanied by an extensive bibliography.
