ABSTRACT
This chapter is dedicated to a survey of the cultural legacy left by the Chobanids during their decades as rulers in the region of Kastamonu. The first part offers an account of some of the main literary works dedicated to Chobanid rulers, looking at the contents of these works and especially at the evidence about this literary production contained in the works’ surviving manuscripts. The second part is dedicated to looking at some of the main buildings patronised by the Chobanids, which are still standing in the urban landscape of the city of Kastamonu and its surroundings.
