Dr Heywood's second volume of collected papers in the Variorum
series brings together fourteen studies published between 2000 and
2010. They represent two of the main strands of his interests
during the past decade: the era of Ottoman history dominated by the
ministerial family of KAprA1/4lA1/4; and the maritime history of
the 'post-Braudelian' Mediterranean, in the later 17th and early
18th centuries. Aspects of the KAprA1/4lA1/4 era under examination
in Part One include the shifting chronology of the Aehrin campaign
of 1678; a study of the role of renegades in Ottoman service,
linked in this instance to the Venetian betrayal of the Cretan
fortress of Grabusa to the Ottomans in 1691, and a study of the
reorganisation of the Ottoman state courier service in 1696,
together with three studies of English diplomacy at the Porte
during the 'Long War' of 1683-99. In Part Two maritime and
Mediterranean themes predominate. Four papers revolve around the
complexities of the English maritime and commercial presence in
Algiers in the decades before and after 1700, and two examine the
Ottoman maritime frontier in the western Mediterranean and in the
Aegean in the same period. The volume concludes with a look at the
daily (and mainly maritime) uncertainties in the life of the French
community in Cyprus at the turn of the eighteenth century, and an
examination of the emergence of Fernand Braudel's intellectual
involvement with Ottoman history, down to the publication in 1949
of his epochal study of the Mediterranean in the age of Philip II.
