the mosque¨s stone funeral block�察�and I felt such anger toward the miscreant 
who¨d  mitted  this  crime�察 �believe  me�察 �even  the  Allah┨mme  Barik  prayer 
became muddled in my mind。 
After the prayers�察�while the congregation shouldered the coffin�察�I was still 
among all the miniaturists and calligraphers。 Stork and I had forgotten that on 
102 
 
some nights�察�when we sat in the dim light of oil lamps working until morning 
on my book�察�he¨d tried to convince me of the inferiority of Elegant Effendi¨s 
gilding  work  and  of  the  lack  of  balance  in  his  use  of  colors!he  colored 
everything  navy  blue  so  it  would  look  richer�  �We¨d  both  forgotten  that  I¨d 
actually  given  him  credence�察 �by  allowing  ^But  no  one  else  is  qualified  to  do 
this  work�察院 �and  we  embraced  each  other  anyway�察 �sobbing  once  more。  Later�察�
Olive gave me a friendly and respectful look before hugging me!a man who 
knows how to embrace is a good man!and these gestures so pleased me that 
I  was  reminded  how  of  all  the  workshop  artists�察 �he  was  the  one  who  most 
believed in my book。 
On the stairs of the courtyard gate I found myself beside Head Illuminator 
Master  Osman。  We  were  both  at  a  loss  for  words�察 �a  strange  and  tense 
moment。 One of the deceased¨s brothers began to cry and sob�察�and someone 
pompously shouted�察 �God is great。 ̄ 
^To  which  cemetery�拭院 �Master  Osman  asked  me  for  the  sake  of  asking 
something。 
To respond ^I don¨t know ̄ seemed hostile for some reason。 Flustered�察�and 
without thinking�察�I asked the same question of the man standing next to me 
on the stairs�察 �To which cemetery�拭�The one by the Edirne Gate�拭院�
^Ey┨p�察院�said an ill´tempered�察�bearded and young dolt。 
^Ey┨p�察院�I said turning to the master�察�but he¨d heard what the ill´tempered 
dolt had said anyway。 Then�察�he looked at me as if to say�察 �I understand ̄ in a 
way that let me know he didn¨t want our encounter to last a moment longer 
than it already had。 
Without  mentioning  my  influence  on  Our  Sultan¨s  growing  interest  in 
Frankish  styles  of  painting�察 �Master  Osman  was  of  course  annoyed  that  Our 
Sultan  had  ordered  me  to  oversee  the  writing  out�察 �embellishment  and 
illustration of the illuminated manuscript�察�which I¨ve described as ^secret。 ̄ On 
one occasion�察�the Sultan forced the great Master Osman to copy a portrait of 
His Highness�察�which had been missioned from a Veian。 I know Master 
Osman holds me responsible for having to imitate that painter�察�for having to 
make  that  strange  painting�察 �which  he  did  with  disgust�察 �referring  to  the 
experience as ^torture。 ̄ His wrath was justified。 
Standing  in  the  middle  of  the  staircase  for  a  while�察 �I  looked  at  the  sky。 
When I was convinced that I¨d been left quite behind�察�I continued down the 
icy stairs。 I¨d barely descended!ever so slowly!two steps when a man took 
me by the arm and embraced me�此�Black。 
103 
 
^The air is freezing�察院�he said。 ^You must be cold。 ̄ 
I  hadn¨t  the  slightest  doubt  that  this  was  the  one  who¨d  muddled 
Shekure¨s  mind。  The  self´confidence  with  which  he  took  my  arm  was  proof 
enough。 There was something in his demeanor that announced�察 �I¨ve worked 
for twelve years and have truly grown up。 ̄ When we came to the bottom of 
the stairs�察�I told him that I¨d expect an account later of what he¨d learned at 
the workshop。 
^You  go  ahead�察 �my  child�察院 �I  said。  ^Go  ahead  and  catch  up  to  the 
congregation。 ̄ 
He was taken aback�察�but didn¨t let on。 The way he let go of my arm with 
reservation and walked ahead of me pleased me�察�even。 If I gave Shekure to him�察�
would he agree to live in the same house with us�拭�
We¨d left the city through the Edirne Gate。 I saw the coffin on the verge of 
disappearing  into  the  fog  along  with  the  crowd  of  illustrators�察 �calligraphers 
and apprentices shouldering it as they quickly descended the hill toward the 
Golden  Horn。  They  were  walking  so  fast�察 �they¨d  already  traveled  half  of  the 
muddy road that led down the snow´covered valley to Ey┨p。 In the silent fog�察�
off  to  the  left�察 �the  chimney  of  the  Han��m  Sultan  Charity  candleworks  shop 
happily  piped  up  its  smoke。  Under  the  shadow  of  the  walls�察 �there  were 
tanneries and the bustling slaughterhouses that served the Greek butchers of 
Ey┨p。 The smell of offal ing from these places had wafted over the valley�察�
which extended to the vaguely discernible domes of the Ey┨p Mosque and its 
cypress´lined  cemetery。  After  walking  for  a  while  longer�察 �I  heard  from  below 
the shouts of children at play ing from the new Jewish quarter in Balat。 
When we reached the plain where Ey┨p was located�察�Butterfly approached 
me�察�and in his usual fiery manner�察�abruptly broached his subject�此�
^Olive and Stork are the ones behind this vulgarity�察院�he said。 ^Like everyone 
else�察 �they  knew  I  had  a  bad  relationship  with  the  deceased。  They  knew 
everyone  was  aware  of  this。  There  was  jealousy  between  us�察 �even  open 
animosity  and  antagonism�察 �over  who  would  assume  leadership  of  the 
workshop  after  Master  Osman。  Now  they  expect  the  guilt  to  fall  on  my 
shoulders�察 �or  at  the  least�察 �that  the  Head  Treasurer�察 �and  under  his  influence�察�
Our Sultan�察�will distance themselves from me�察�nay�察�from us。 ̄ 
^Who is this  ̄us¨ of which you speak�拭亜�
^Those  of  us  who  believe  that  the  old  morality  ought  to  persist  at  the 
workshop�察�that we should follow the path laid by the Persian masters�察�that an 
104 
 
artist shouldn¨t illustrate just any scene for money alone。 In place of weapons�察�
armies�察 �slaves  and  conquests�察 �we  believe  that  the  old  myths�察 �legends  and 
stories ought to be introduced anew into our books。 We shouldn¨t forgo the 
old models。 Genuine miniaturists shouldn¨t loiter at the shops in the bazaar 
and paint any old thing�察�depictions of indecency�察�for a few extra kurush from 
anybody who happens by。 His Excellency Our Sultan would find us justified。 ̄ 
^You¨re incriminating yourself senselessly�察院�I said so he might be done with 
his ranting。 ^I¨m convinced that the atelier could not harbor anybody capable 
of  mitting  such  a  crime。  You¨re  all  brethren。  There¨s  no  great  harm  in 
illustrating  a  few  subjects  that  haven¨t  been  depicted  previously�察 �at  least  no 
harm so great as to be an occasion for enmity。 ̄ 
As happened when I first heard the horrid news�察�I had an epiphany of sorts。 
Elegant  Effendi¨s  murderer  was  one  of  the  premier  masters  in  the  palace 
workshop and he was a member of the crowd before me�察�climbing the hill that 
led to the cemetery。 I was also convinced that the murderer would continue 
with his devilry and sedition�察�that he was an enemy of the book I was making�察�
and  most  probably�察 �that  he¨d  visited  my  house  to  pick  up  some  work 
illustrating  and  painting。  Had  Butterfly�察 �too�察 �like  most  of  the  artists  who 
frequented my house�察�fallen in love with Shekure�拭�As he made his assertions�察�
had he forgotten the times when I¨d requested that he paint pictures that were 
contrary to his point of view�察�or was he just needling me with expert skill�拭�
Nay�察�I thought a little while later�察�he couldn¨t be needling me。 Butterfly�察�like 
the  other  master  illustrators�察 �obviously  owed  me  a  debt  of  gratitude�此 �With 
money  and  gifts  to  miniaturists  dwindling�察 �due  to  the  wars  and  lack  of 
interest on the part of Our Sultan�察�the sole significant source of extra ine 
had for some time been what they earned working for me。 I knew they were 
jealous of one another over my attentions�察�and for this reason!but not only 
for this reason!I met with them individually at my house�察�hardly a basis for 
hostility  toward  me。  All  of  my  miniaturists  were  mature  enough  to  behave 
intelligently�察 �to  sincerely  find  a  reason  to  admire  a  man  to  whom  they  were 
obliged for their own profit。 
To  relieve  the  silence  and  ensure  that  the  previous  topic  of  conversation 
wouldn¨t be revisited�察�I said�察 �Oh�察�will His wonders never cease� �They¨re able 
to take the coffin up that hill as fast as they brought it down。 ̄ 
Butterfly smiled sweetly showing all his teeth�此 �Due to the cold。 ̄ 
Could  this  one  actually  kill  a  man�察 �I  wondered�察 �for  example�察 �out  of  envy�拭�
Might  he  kill  me�拭 �He  had  the  following  excuse�此 �This  man  was  debasing  my 
105 
 
religion。  Nay�察 �but  he¨s  a  great  master�察 �a  perfect  embodiment  of  talent�察 �why 
should  he  resort  to  murder�拭 �Age  means  not  only  straining  oneself  climbing 
hills�察�but also�察�I gather�察�not being so afraid of death。 It means a lack of desire�察�
entering into a slave girl¨s bedchamber�察�not in a fit of excitement�察�but out of 
custom。 In a burst of intuition�察�I told him to his face the decision I¨d made�此�
^I¨m not continuing with the book any longer。 ̄ 
^What�拭院�said Butterfly as his expression changed。 
^There¨s some kind of ill´fortune in it。 Our Sultan ha
