This volume presents the transformation of the Greek-speaking,
Romaniot Jewish community of Byzantine Constantinople into an
Ottoman, ethnically diversified immigrant community, showing the
influence of the Ottoman conquest on cultural and social values.
New and existing sources illuminate a society that was haunted by
the dislocation and bereavement of the expulsion from Spain but was
nevertheless materialistic and pleasure-seeking, with money and
pedigree as supreme values. The society constantly redefined its
relationships and boundaries with its former Iberian world and with
the Ottoman non-Jewish world around it. The book is important to
the study of Istanbul, particularly its Ottoman Jewish community.
The chapters on Family Formation and Social Patterns serve family
historians studying the early modern period.
