The father of the legendary Ottoman sultan Suleyman the
Magnificent, Selim I ("The Grim") set the stage for centuries of
Ottoman supremacy by doubling the size of the empire. Conquering
Eastern Anatolia, Syria, and Egypt, Selim promoted a politicized
Sunni Ottoman* identity against the Shiite Safavids of Iran, thus
shaping the early modern Middle East. Analyzing a wide array of
sources in Ottoman-Turkish, Persian, and Arabic, H. Erdem Cipa
offers a fascinating revisionist reading of Selim's rise to power
and the subsequent reworking and mythologizing of his persona in
16th- and 17th-century Ottoman historiography. In death, Selim
continued to serve the empire, becoming represented in ways that
reinforced an idealized image of Muslim sovereignty in the early
modern Eurasian world.
