Autobiographic Sinan manuscripts are important due to the fact that they provide some information about Mimar Sinan’s (Koca Sinan) life, and also the list of the structures that were built while he was chief architect. According to three books by Aptullah Kuran - Tezkiretü’l-bünyân (Book of Buildings), the Tezkiretü’l-ebniye (Book of Buildings) and the Tuhfetü’l-mi‘mârîn (Present of the Architects) – act as the main sources for this list of structures, which totals 477.1 The author identifies 344 structures in this study, and they are listed in Tezkiretü’l-bünyân, which is divided into twelve sections in accordance with the types of buildings; 378 structures are listed in Tezkiretü’l-ebniye, which consists of thirteen sections, and 423 structures are listed in Tuhfetü’l-mi‘mârîn, which consists of fifteen sections. Researchers seems to have spent a great deal of time not only on ranking these sources in accordance with their importance, but also in examining their relationship with each other. 312 of these structures are included in all of the biographies, 43 are mentioned in two of the works, with 122 being mentioned in only one. Another striking statistic is that 322 of these structures –which include those known to be from the pre-Sinan era, as well as those renovated during this era - are located in and around the immediate city limits of Istanbul.
The following list, which aims to bring together the structures of the Sinan era that were built not only within the city walls of Istanbul, but also in the peripheral settlements of the city during the sixteenth century; each of these areas has become a district today. This list is based on the overall list presented by Aptullah Kuran at the end of his book, Mimar Sinan. There are other studies apart from this source, which categorize systematically the structures covered within the autobiographic Sinan manuscripts in a consistent logical framework. For example, a chronological list of Sinan mosques and their premises mentioned in Tuhfetü’l-mi‘mârîn and Tezkiretü’l-ebniye is presented along with those who built them in the appendices in Gülru Necipoğlu’s work Sinan Çağı: Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Mimarî Kültür (The Age of Sinan: Architectural Culture in the Ottoman Empire).2 Sinan’s Autobiographies: Five Sixteenth-Century Texts, prepared by Howard Crane and Esra Akın under the editorship of Gülru Necipoğlu also includes another comprehensive list that was prepared by making comparison to Kuran’s list.3 An overall list, composed solely of the titles of those structures which fit this classification in the manuscripts, can be found at the end of Metin Sözen’s Sinan: Architect of Ages. This list is more akin to a visual catalogue of structures from the Sinan era.4
The lists included in Kuran’s book, which were used as a reference in this study, not only present the distribution of Sinan structures registered in the tezkere (memoranda) according to city and names distributed by cities and titles, but also structures belonging to Sinan the location of which cannot be determined or which had been destroyed, renewed or were in ruins. In addition, a catalogue section that includes basic information, such as photographs, builders, completion date of the structures, and short descriptions of each structure, has been added to this list. Structures from the Sinan era which are located in and around the immediate surroundings of Istanbul are given in the following list; the usefulness of the building is taken into account and the current usage is stated. Kuran’s study has been taken into consideration as it provides information on this subject matter; the list has been re-arranged by adopting a method of comparison with the studies of Necipoğlu, Crane and Akın. In this regard, Sultan Selim (I) Mosque, Güzelce Kasım Paşa Mosque and Madrasa and Emir Buharî Mosque and Bathhouse – which Necipoğlu states were built before Sinan was appointed chief architect (1539) - are written in bold in the list, without being omitted and without being given a sequence number. Thus, the lists found in the manuscripts are respected, but attention is drawn to the mistakes.
In this context, the Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Evladı and the Siyavuş Paşa Evladı tombs in Eyüp, two structures that Kuran, Crane and Akın were wary of in the belief that they had been placed on this list by mistake, are written in bold in the list. Kovuk Arch, which was not described by Kuran, is written in bold in the list to prevent repetition; in the evaluation of Crane and Akın they argue that Cebeciköy, Güzelce Arch (Sequence no: 210) and Kemerburgaz, Müderris Köyü Arch (Kovuk Arch), found on different places in the list, could be the same structure. Again, taking into consideration that Crane and Akın claim that the structure recorded as Haseki Bostan Bathhouse by Kuran is actually Haseki Sultan Bathhouse, this structure is registered on the list as Haseki Bostan (Sultan) Bathhouse, thus referring to both sources. However, taking into consideration the researchers’ evaluation, which is in contrast to that of Kuran, it is possible that this structure could be the same structure as Hagia Sophia, Haseki Hürrem Sultan (Ayasofya) Bathhouse (Sequence no: 14), the other structure is listed without a sequence number. Çemberlitaş, Valide (Nurbanu) Sultan Çifte Bathhouse (Sequence no: 43); Yenikapı, Valide (Nurbanu) Sultan Çifte Bathhouse (Sequence no: 182) and Topkapı Palace (Saray-ı Cedid-i Hakani) Cellar (Sequence no: 158), which are not on Kuran’s list, - are also included on the list. Finally, Üsküdar, Siyavuş Paşa (Sequence no: 320-321) and Eyüp, Semiz Ali Paşa palaces (Sequence no: 231-232), written twice on Kuran’s list under the same title, now, based on the information given in the manuscripts that a second palace had been constructed at the same site, have not been amended in keeping with the source list.
