Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The (new) wooden cenotaph sarcophagus inside the Türbe (mausoleum) of Hüsrev Paşa, the Ottoman governor (mid-16th century) of Van and Amida (Diyarbakır).
It is very questionable whether Hüsrev Paşa was ever buried here, since he had Mimar Sinan built a grave monument for him in Istanbul (the ‘Hüsrev Paşa Türbesi’ in the Yenibahçe neighbourhood / Fatih district). A cenotaph is an "empty tomb" or a monument erected in honour of a person or group of people whose remains are elsewhere. The word derives from the Greek: κενοτάφιον = kenotaphion (kenos, one meaning being "empty", and taphos, "tomb"). In general, a Turkish türbe has two rooms: an upper room where the cenotaph sarcophagus/sarcophagi were placed to be visited by relatives and followers, and a room beneath where the remains of the deceased were buried. |
