About the Book

Le site exceptionnel et stratégique d'Istanbul a permis à la ville de se développer de manière constante depuis les premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, tout en échappant aux invasions destructrices. Cependant les fréquents tremblements de terre et les nombreux incendies en ont remodelé l'aspect général maintes fois. L'antique Byzance est devenue La Nouvelle-Rome lorsque Constantin-le-Grand en fit la capitale de l'Empire romain en 330, mais dès le siècle suivant elle prit le nom-même de l'empereur, soit Constantinopolis, la ville de Constantin. Elle le garda jusqu'en 1930, quand la nouvelle République turque, rompant avec le lourd passé politique de la ville, lui attribua officiellement son nom actuel. Sept ans plus tôt, Istanbul avait déjà perdu son rôle millénaire de capitale, sans perdre toutefois son rang de principale ville d'Europe orientale. Capitale de l'Empire romain devenu byzantin pour les Occidentaux, Constantinople rayonna également sous les Ottomans à partir de 1453. Sans cesse convoitée, elle ne sera occupée qu'en 1919 par les vainqueurs du premier conflit mondial qui se partagèrent la dépouille d'un empire définitivement perdu. Occupée et humiliée, la ville mettra peu de temps avant de fasciner à nouveau l'Europe envoûtée par l'exotisme d'un continent qui s'achève, mais qui est son préambule pour un Proche Orient contemplatif et parfois envieux de la remarquable situation d'Istanbul. La longue histoire d'Istanbul a naturellement laissé des traces architecturales de toutes les époques. De prodigieuses constructions ponctuent l'horizon stambouliote rappelant constamment la grandeur de la Ville des villes et son poids dans l'Histoire du monde. La vénérable Sainte-Sophie se dressait sur la colline palatine depuis déjà presque mille ans quand les Européens foulèrent le sol américain pour la première fois, tandis qu'au fil du temps la ville se couvrait de palais monumentaux, de somptueuses églises, de mosquées impériales et d'une multitude de constructions civiles et militaires qui ont séduit des générations entières. Cet enchevêtrement historico-culturel a inévitablement attiré les voyageurs à toutes les époques. Capitale incontournable du patrimoine mondial, Istanbul reste encore de nos jours une des destinations européennes majeures pour qui donne un sens à l'art et la culture, mais pas seulement. En effet, il n'y a pas que les vieilles pierres qui attirent les visiteurs. Captivante et saisissante, Istanbul est un aimant qui charme toutes les générations quel que soit leur centre d'intérêt. Quand on s'y trouve, on s'y retrouve. Ecrivains et journalistes, personnages politiques et influents, musiciens de renom et acteurs connus, espions et aventuriers, grands voyageurs ou simples touristes, tous trouvent une bonne raison de se rendre à Istanbul qui est un carrefour du monde, une sorte de rendez-vous de la planète. Le Codex Istanbul dresse un inventaire des sites permettant de suivre l'évolution de la ville à travers ses quartiers depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours. Avec ses 20 cartes et plans, 334 documents d'archive et 939 photos contemporaines, le Codex a vocation à suivre la mutation des quartiers et est par conséquent appelé à être remis à jour régulièrement.
