find lots of good maps readily available
on sale

An Istanbul
map from 1918. The large inscription
reads Haliç-i
Der-Saadet, or "Channel
of the Abode of Felicity." Der-Saadet—"Abode
of Felicity"—was Istanbul's
official Ottoman name. The channel is the Golden Horn.
(I spent two years of my life
reading old Ottoman legal
documents. Oh yes I did. Read about
it in Bright
Sun, Strong Tea.)
