Philipp Schweinfurth and His Conference at Istanbul University on the Occasion of the 500th Anniversary of the Conquest

This study first gives an account of the life and works of Philipp Schweinfurth (1887-1954), who served as the professor of the Byzantine history of art at the department of literature in the University of Istanbul, during 1950-54; and then presents the text of his conference he presented in German on June 2, 1953, in the symposium arranged due to the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul. In his speech, titled "the Byzantine State and Culture Toward 1453", Schweinfurth analyzes the situation of the Byzantine state before the conquest with great erudition. Aziz DOĞANAY
