Soft cover. Zustand: New. SINGER, AMY - CHRISTOPH K. NEUMANN - NINA ERGIN (Edited by) Feeding people, feeding power: Imarets in the Ottoman Empire. Istanbul: Eren Yayincilik, 2007. Large 8vo., 312 p., ills. Paperback. New ISBN: 9789756372395 CATALOG: Ottoman history KEYWORDS: Ottoman Empire Ottoman religieus system Imarets have long been recognized as one signature institution of the Ottoman Empire. These public kitchens were typically located in mosque complexes or multi-structured complexes, which included some or all of the following buildings: mosque, medrese, mekteb, tomb, caravansaray, sufi tekke (or tekye) , hospital, bath, market, and other structures associated with the social, economic, and cultural life of the population, usually in an urban setting. Studying imarets is yet another way to explore the Ottoman vision of conquest, empire-building, and imperial rule. The imarets were part of the multiple Ottoman provisioning systems supporting the imperial palaces, military campaigns, cities, and the annual hajj caravan to Mecca and Medina. The public kitchens operated in a society where the state and beneficent institutions held a continual and considerable role in contributing to the daily subsistence of all kinds of individuals. Ultimately, the Ottoman sultan's preoccupation with food was in part an outgrowth of his political and military capacities, and his general responsibility to provide for his subjects. Although the precise dynamic of the emergence of imarets as a distinct institutional form is a process that remains to be traced, it was clearly a confluence of historical practices, together with the demands placed on the early Ottoman sultanate, that gave rise to the particular form of the imaret. Evliya Celebi remarked that in all his travels he saw "nothing like our enviable institution." At least one architectural historian claims that no earlier structures have been found that are analogous and certainly none are described in general books on Islamic architecture. The particular Ottoman origin of the imaret as a distinct architectural form is also attested by its presence throughout the Ottoman lands, Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Arab provinces, regions that did not necessarily share institutions in the pre-Ottoman period. Entirely unexplored remains the impact of Byzantine practices of charity on the Ottoman imarets. The daily distribution of cooked meals to large numbers of urban dwellers year-round from a special building designed for that purpose thus appears to have been an Ottoman innovation, at least outside the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and of Hebron.…

Volume II is signed by contributors Kenneth J. Arrow and John Milnor. Volume III is signed by contributors W.H. Fleming and Philip Wolfe on the title page.

Volume II contains: Lloyd Shapleyâs âA Value for n-Person Gamesâ (pp. 307-17): A âremarkable 1953 paper⦠There he proposed that it might be possible to evaluate, in a numerical way, the âvalueâ of playing a game. The particular function he derived for this purpose, which has come to be called the Shapley value, has been the focus of sustained interest among students of cooperative game theory ever sinceâ (Alvin Roth, who shared the 2012 Nobel Prize with Shapley, Chapter 1: âIntroduction to the Shapley Value,â in Roth, The Shapley Value: Essays in Honor of Lloyd S. Shapley, Cambridge University Press, 1988). Also contains Von Neumannâs âA Certain Zero-Sum Two-Person Game Equivalent to the Optimal Assignment Problemâ (pp. 5-12) and D.B. Gillies, J.P.
