Abstract
This study discusses texts dealing with the common ontological and cosmological infrastructure of music and architecture, especially in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth-century Ottoman Empire, to present the prevailing perspective of this period. This research adopts an interdisciplinary hermeneutic approach to architectural and musical texts. Ottoman architecture's ontological and cosmological background is based on Sufi ontology and ancient philosophy. Pythagoreanism, on the other hand, had an impact on the systematic school of Ottoman music. When all this information is evaluated, we encounter the cosmic harmony, stages of creation, celestial layers above the earth, planets, and numbers associated with them that are considered sacred, music theory is formulated, and architectural examples are interpreted according to this hierarchy. When Ottoman culture is examined with an interdisciplinary hermeneutic approach, it is revealed that a perception of ontology and cosmology from ancient sources has been adopted.
