nothing of his work: such, for example, are Kasım Paşa Camii and
Cihangir Camii, and a few others. The list may have minor omissions
or inaccuracies, almost inevitable in a pioneer attempt, but we believe
it includes all Sinan's surviving buildings of any importance in the
city.
The great majority of Sinan's works can be dated accurately by
historical inscriptions on the buildings themselves; others may
be dated by documents in the Divan archives or by their vakfiyes
(charters of foundation). A few dates in the list are conjectural, based
either on descriptions by foreign travellers or on the floruit, , or else the
date of death of the founders. In a very few cases we have not been
able to suggest a date. For the Tezkeret-ül Ebniye , the list of Sinan's
works drawn up by his friend Mustafa Sa'i, we have used the text as
given in Ahmet Refik's Mimar Sinan (Istanbul 1931); the text given
in Rıfkı Melül Meriç's Mimar Sinan Hayatı, Eseri (Ankara 1965) is a
mere conflation of various undated and unidentified manuscripts and
is exceedingly misleading. For the relevant Divan archives see Ahmet
Refik's Türk Mimarları (Istanbul 1936); and for various vakfiyes and
other documents see Ibrahim Hakkı Konyalı's Mimar Koca Sinan
(Istanbul 1948) and the same author's Koca Mimar Sinan'ın Eserleri
(Istanbul 1950).
