Özet:

This study explores talismanic symbolism embodied as well as manifested on swords within the Islamic context through the examination of religious narrative, as well as related artifacts. Most notably, Late Ottoman Period yataghans are surveyed as this period in which these blades were manufactured was a time of social, cultural, and artistic change due to increasing influence from Europe infiltrating Ottoman institutions. Through a lens of symbolic analysis certain notions, beliefs, and cultural trends are made evident within the Late Ottoman zeitgeist through the examination of swords and their related talismanic symbolism elucidating norms and aspects of identity construction and adherence.
