Sur (Imperial Celebration) and Surname (Book of Imperial Celebration) are traditions unique to the Ottomans. The first officially recorded imperial celebration is the imperial wedding of the daughter of Sultan Osman I, in 1258. Pictorial depictions in Surnames begin with a particular Sur, namely the circumcision feast of Sultan Murad's son Mehmed. Adorned by the miniatures of the master court painter, Nakkaş Osman, the scenes in the Surname-i Hümayun depict the circumcision feast of the son of Sultan Murad, which lasted fifty-five days.
The original text of the Surname is written by a court author, using the pseudonym Intizami and is edited by the official chief secretary of the Imperial court, Seyit Lokman. The miniatures depict the various stages of the ceremony in constructed story line and portray the prosperity of the 16th century Ottoman Empire.
The Book of Festivities was commissioned under Sultan Murad III in 1582/83.Upload media | |||||
