Pre-modern Western sources generally claim that European mercantile
communities in the Ottoman Empire enjoyed legal autonomy, and were
thus effectively immune to Ottoman justice. At the same time, they
report numerous disputes with Ottoman officials over jurisdiction
("avanias"), which seems to contradict this claim, the discrepancy
being considered proof of the capriciousness of the Ottoman legal
system. Modern studies of Ottoman-European relations in this period
have tended uncritically to accept this interpretation, which is
challenged in this book.
