Summary
Türkisches Manierenbuch, is a manuscript preserved at the Kassel University Library and probably can be dated before 1590. This Album contains 159 watercolor pictures of daily life scenes, architecture, and figures in and around the Ottoman Empire. This Album can be compared to another album that the Gdansk mayor Schachman ordered. This travel album is now in Doha Orientalist Museum, the Schachman album contains 105 figures. Both albums have 95 similar paintings. The Paintings in Kassel Album and not found in Schachmann Album depict architecture and processions and audiences with the Sultan. Unlike Schachmanís album, Kassel contains no reference to the owner. However, if we consider its quality and the existence of two watercolors depicting the reception of an embassy or a dignitary by a Sultan, we can assume the book was owned by an ambassador or an embassy retinue member.
