tuǧras (monograms, <identifying markings and symbols>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Elaborate ornamental calligraphic imperial monograms of the Ottoman sultans (reigned 1281-1924), formed of the name, titles, and formula for "ever victorious." They were used as authentication on documents, because the Ottoman sultans did not sign their decrees. The tuǧras were drawn by specially designated high officials with the rank of pasha, who checked the copy for accuracy. In form, the tuǧra is distinguished by three high verticals and one large elliptical curve extending to the left and enclosing a smaller, similar curve. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Verfijnde decoratieve kalligrafische imperiale monogrammen van de Ottomaanse sultans (die in de periode 1281-1924 regeerden) met de betreffende naam en titel en de woorden ���eeuwig zegevierend'. Men gebruikte ze om documenten te bekrachtigen omdat sultans hun decreten niet ondertekenden. Tughra's werden gemaakt door speciaal daarvoor aangewezen functionarissen met de rang van pasja, die controleerden of het document correct was. Tughra's worden gekenmerkt door drie hoge verticale lijnen en één lange elliptische lijn naar links om een kleinere lijn met dezelfde vorm heen. |
