The jurist Ebu's-suud (c. 1490-1574) occupies a key position in the
history of Islamic law. An Ottoman tradition, which began in the
seventeenth century and which modern historians often reiterate,
asserts that Ebu's-suud succeeded in harmonizing the secular law
with the "shari 'a," creating, in effect, a new ideal Islamic legal
system. This book examines the validity of this assertion.

"Frontiers of Ottoman Studies" provides a comprehensive overview of
the surge in research into Ottoman history and culture over the
past two decades. This first volume reflects the growing interest
in the provinces, communities and cultures outside the imperial
capital of Istanbul and covers four major areas: politics and
Islam; economy and taxation; and development of Ottoman towns and
Arab and Jewish communities. Chapters on the development of Ottoman
legal and fiscal institutions provide a fascinating insight into
the Ottoman government's interaction with the Empire's subjects,
while reviews of Egypt and the Arab provinces emphasize the
stirrings of Arab nationalism in the late nineteenth and twentieth
centuries that ultimately contributed to the demise of the
Empire.
Frontiers of Ottoman Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the surge in research into Ottoman history and culture of the past two decades. The second volume covers Ottoman-European International Relations; Ottoman manuscripts in Europe; Ottoman-European cultural exchange and Christian influence and the advent of the Europeans. The work makes a significant contribution to diplomatic history and international relations; Ottoman geographical knowledge; the nature of Ottoman artistic and cultural aesthetics and the intellectual, cultural, technological and human interactions between the Ottoman world and Europe.
Ten years after his untimely death, Norman Calder is still considered a luminary in the field of Islamic law. At the time he was one among a handful of scholars from the West who were beginning to engage with the subject. In the intervening years, much has changed, and Islamic law is now understood as fundamental to any engagement with the study of Islam, its history, and its society, and Dr. Calder s work is integral to that engagement. In this book, Colin Imber has put together and edited four essays by Norman Calder that have never been previously published. Typically incisive, they categorize and analyze the different genres of Islamic juristic literature that was produced between the tenth and fourteenth centuries, showing what function they served both in the preservation of Muslim legal and religious traditions and in the day-to-day lives of their communities. The essays also examine the status and role of the jurists themselves and are to be particularly welcomed for giving clear answers to the controversial questions of how far Islamic law and juristic thinking changed over the centuries, and how far it was able to adapt to new circumstances. In his introduction to the volume, Robert Gleave assesses the place and importance of Norman Calder s work in the field of Islamic legal studies. This is a groundbreaking book from one of the most important scholars of his generation."

This highly-praised and authoritative account surveys the history of the Ottoman Empire from its obscure origins in the 14th century, through its rise to world-power status in the 16th century, to the troubled times of the 17th century. Going beyond a simple narrative of Ottoman achievements and key events, Colin Imber uses original sources and research, as well as the rapidly growing body of modern scholarship on the subject, to show how the Sultans governed their realms and the limits on their authority. A helpful chronological introduction provides the context, while separate chapters deal with the inner politics of the dynasty, the court and central government, the provinces, the law courts and legal system, and the army and fleet. Revised, updated and expanded, this new edition now also features a separate chapter on the Arab provinces and incorporates the most recent developments in the field throughout. New to this Edition: - An increased focus on religion, and on non-Muslim communities - More on the provinces and culture - An expanded taxation chapter, with more on charitable trusts, trade and the economy - Updated references throughout
