Firmans are orders / decrees of Sultans. Besides their judiciary value, Ottoman firmans are mostly noted by their calligraphic value. This book exposes the most beautiful of firmans with their detailed records. Including also large and detailed reproductions of Sultan's tughras as part of these firmans, the book constitutes an extremely useful reference for authenticating antiques claimed to have been belonging to Ottoman Sultans.
