In the early sixteenth century, the political landscape of West
Asia was completely transformed: of the previous four major powers,
only one - the Ottoman Empire - continued to exist. Ottoman
survival was, in part, predicated on transition to a new mode of
kingship, enabling its transformation from regional dynastic
sultanate to empire of global stature. In this book, Christopher
Markiewicz uses as a departure point the life and thought of Idris
Bidlisi (1457-1520), one of the most dynamic scholars and statesmen
of the period. Through this examination, he highlights the series
of ideological and administrative crises in the fifteenth-century
sultanates of Islamic lands that gave rise to this new conception
of kingship and became the basis for sovereign authority not only
within the Ottoman Empire but also across other Muslim empires in
the early modern period.
