Notes
The Eyup district of Istanbul includes a large number of Islamic cemeteries that were built after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Sultan Muhammad the Conqueror. The Sultan was keen to build a mosque and a shrine for the great companion Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who died during the attempt to conquer Constantinople in the Umayyad era. This area has become of high religious status, so senior statesmen and other writers, artists, and ordinary people were keen to be buried next to the shrine of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. The cemetery of Zal Muhammadu Pasha, which is attached to his complex in the Eyup region, is one of those cemeteries that contains a large number of Islamic tombstones, whose inscriptions are recorded in Turkish and Arabic. Its study is of great importance, as it is a bridge between the past and the future. It is also useful in identifying the culture and arts prevailing in that period. It also determines the social status of the owners of these evidences: were they important people in the Ottoman countries or ordinary individuals. This study aims to study, publish and document a number of six tombstones in the Turkish language, an archaeological and artistic study, to reach their artistic styles, the way the writings were executed on them, how to formulate their content, and to study the titles on them, which provide us with the social status of their owners.
