The history of Ottoman Lebanon in the 16th and 17th centuries has,
until now, received only the most limited attention. What work has
been done has been based upon limited local and European
literature. As the first work to make detailed studies and
extensive use of Ottoman chancery documents, "The View From
Istanbul" serves to fill many gaps in the historical record. How
did the Ottomans run their empire? How did they view Lebanon? What
were their prime concerns in the region? Each section is prefaced
by a short introduction that places the documents in historical
context and analyzes their content and scope.
