"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.
