International trade was of great importance for the Ottomans in the
construction of their empire. Kate Fleet's book examines the trade
links which existed between European merchants and their Muslim
counterparts from the beginnings of the Ottoman empire in 1300 to
the fall of Constantinople in 1453. By using previously unexploited
Latin and Turkish sources, and by focusing on the trading
partnership between the Genoese and the Turks, she demonstrates how
this interaction contributed to the economic development of the
early Ottoman state and, indeed, to Ottoman territorial expansion.
Where other studies have emphasized the military prowess of the
early Ottoman state and its role as 'the infidel enemy', the book
offers an insight into its economic aspirations and eventual
integration into the economy of the Mediterranean basin. This is a
readable, authoritative and innovative study which illuminates our
understanding of an obscure period in early Ottoman history.
