This highly-praised and authoritative account surveys the history
of the Ottoman Empire from its obscure origins in the 14th century,
through its rise to world-power status in the 16th century, to the
troubled times of the 17th century. Going beyond a simple narrative
of Ottoman achievements and key events, Colin Imber uses original
sources and research, as well as the rapidly growing body of modern
scholarship on the subject, to show how the Sultans governed their
realms and the limits on their authority. A helpful chronological
introduction provides the context, while separate chapters deal
with the inner politics of the dynasty, the court and central
government, the provinces, the law courts and legal system, and the
army and fleet. Revised, updated and expanded, this new edition now
also features a separate chapter on the Arab provinces and
incorporates the most recent developments in the field throughout.
New to this Edition: - An increased focus on religion, and on
non-Muslim communities - More on the provinces and culture - An
expanded taxation chapter, with more on charitable trusts, trade
and the economy - Updated references throughout
