This skillfully written text presents the full sweep of Ottoman
history from its beginnings on the Byzantine frontier in about
1300, through its development as an empire, to its late
eighteenth-century confrontation with a rapidly modernizing Europe.
Itzkowitz delineates the fundamental institutions of the Ottoman
state, the major divisions within the society, and the basic ideas
on government and social structure. Throughout, Itzkowitz
emphasizes the Ottomans' own conception of their historical
experience, and in so doing penetrates the surface view provided by
the insights of Western observers of the Ottoman world to the core
of Ottoman existence.
