In Dervishes and Islam in Bosnia, Ines Asceric-Todd explores the
involvement of Sufi orders in the formation of Muslim society in
the first two centuries of Ottoman rule in Bosnia (15th - 16th
centuries C.E.). Using a wide range of primary sources,
Asceric-Todd shows that Sufi traditions and the activities of
dervish orders were at the heart of the religious, cultural,
socio-economic and political dynamics in Bosnia in the period which
witnessed the emergence of Bosnian Muslim society and the most
intensive phase of conversions of the Bosnian population to Islam.
In the process, she also challenges some of the established views
regarding Ottoman guilds and the subject of futuwwa (Sufi code of
honour).
