| Sample Text | "Hundreds of local and foreign tourists visit Yeşil Camil and Yeşil Tomb in Bursa every day and admire the architectural works of art and beautiful engravings there. They ask the guides for information about the inscriptions written on marble and tiles. However, they cannot obtain complete information on this subject. Because these inscriptions have not been fully read. The books written about Yeşil Camil are also insufficient. However, these inscriptions are not just sacred texts, like the inscriptions in other mosques of Bursa. The writings were written to give an idea and a meaning. They carry religious, social and economic meanings. These writings show the perspective of the Ottomans living in the thirteenth century on the universe, the world, life, death and humanity. For this reason, the writings written on marble stones and green tiles with white or yellow paint on a red background are discussed. "--Back cover. |
