The studies presented in this collection are concerned most
particularly with the material conditions of life in the mature
Ottoman state of the 16th-18th centuries. They range from the
evaluation of sources of livelihood and conditions in the workplace
on the one hand, to notions of domesticity and organization of the
private sphere on the other, and deal with the provinces, in both
the Balkans and in Asia, as much as with Istanbul. At the same time
the volume aims to illuminate Ottoman imperial institutional forms
and norms as they existed in the high imperial era before the rapid
change and transformation associated with late imperial times when
the empire was more exposed both to global economic forces and
external political pressures. This concentration on the relatively
stable conditions that prevailed in the empire throughout the bulk
of the early modern era (ca. 1450-ca. 1750) provides the reader
with an opportunity to assess Ottoman institutional development and
observe social and economic organization in their relatively 'pure'
state before the double impact of industrialization and increasing
Westernization in the late nineteenth century.
