The Ottoman lands, which extended from modern Hungary to the
Arabian peninsula, were home to a vast population with a rich
variety of cultures. The Ottoman World is the first primary source
reader to bring a wide and diverse set of voices across Ottoman
society into the classroom. Written in many languages-not only
Ottoman Turkish but also Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Italian,
and Persian-these texts, here translated, span the extent of the
early modern Ottoman empire, from the 1450s to 1700. Instructors
are supplied with narratives conveying the lived experiences of
individuals through texts that highlight human variety and
accelerate a trend away from a state-centric approach to Ottoman
history. In addition, samples from court registers, legends,
biographical accounts, hagiographies, short stories, witty
anecdotes, jokes, and lampoons provide exciting glimpses into
popular mindsets in Ottoman society. By reflecting new directions
in the scholarship with an innovative choice of texts, this
collection provides a vital resource for teachers and students.
