  • Islamic Gunpowder Empires : Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals / Douglas E
    “Douglas Streusand has contributed a masterful comparative analysis and an up-to- S date reinterpretation of the significance of the early modern Islamic empires. This T book makes profound scholarly insights readily accessible to undergraduate stu- R dents and will be useful in world history surveys as well as more advanced courses.” —Hope Benne, Salem State College E U “Streusand creatively reexamines the military and political history and structures of the SAN Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. He breaks down the process of transformation and makes their divergent outcomes comprehensible, not only to an audience of special- ists, but also to undergraduates and general readers. Appropriate for courses in world, early modern, or Middle Eastern history as well as the political sociology of empires.” D —Linda T. Darling, University of Arizona “Streusand is to be commended for navigating these hearty and substantial historiogra- phies to pull together an analytical textbook which will be both informative and thought provoking for the undergraduate university audience.” GUNPOWDER EMPIRES —Colin Mitchell, Dalhousie University Islamic Gunpowder Empires provides an illuminating history of Islamic civilization in the early modern world through a comparative examination of Islam’s three greatest empires: the Otto- IS mans (centered in what is now Turkey), the Safavids (in modern Iran), and the Mughals (ruling the Indian subcontinent). Author Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires; compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic contributors to their success; and L analyzes the causes of their rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international system extending from the At- lantic to the Straits of Malacca, emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that AMIC system.

Author: Leslie Peirce Reviewer: Gemma Masson Leslie Peirce. Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire. New York: Basic Books, 2017. 368 pp. $32.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-465-03251-8. Reviewed by Gemma Masson (University of Birmingham)Published on H-War (November, 2018) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey (Air War College) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=53223 Leslie Peirce is well known as a historian whose work reveals the lives of Ottoman women. Her previous work on the Ottoman Imperial Harem (The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire [1993]) is a staple on Ottoman reading lists as is her work on women in the courts of Aintab (Morality Tales: Law and Gender in the Ottoman Court of Aintab [2003]), both of which bring the lives of the wider female population into the historical narrative. With the success of the Turkish television series Magnificent Century (2011-14), which focused on the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent (also known as The Lawgiver) and his family, there had never been a better time for a new assessment of the concubine Hurrem Sultan, also known as Roxelana. Roxelana rose to become the first, and only, wife of an Ottoman sultan for centuries, achieving the status of queen, previously unknown in the empire.

Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection Abstract Mainly due to the non-inspiring “stagnation and decline” paradigm, seventeenth-century Ottoman history is one of the least known periods in historical studies. Unpopular image of some of the Sultans reigned in the period also affected the general disinterest. To have a sound based knowledge on the century in general and on the Sultans in particular there is an urgent need first to discover and utilize the contemporary sources and then to analyze them in the light of modern scholarship. Based mainly on a least known group of Ottoman sources, i.e., war-accounts, this study entitled “A Long March: The Ottoman Campaign in Hungary, 1663”, aims to provide a chronology of the main political and diplomatic events before and during the Ottoman campaign in Hungary in 1663.

In this study, the mute and dwarf employment at the Ottoman court is considered both within the context of the world-wide practices of keeping court jesters and their common origins, and with regard to its relation to the peculiar conditions of the Ottoman court in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The question whether there existed in the Ottoman case the type of court jester who was able to criticize and mock the monarch is discussed in the thesis to display the nature of dwarfs’ and mutes’ role as the sultan’s boon companions.

  • FACTIONS and FAVORITES at the COURTS of SULTAN AHMED I (R. 1603-17) and HIS IMMEDIATE PREDECESSORS
    FACTIONS AND FAVORITES AT THE COURTS OF SULTAN AHMED I (r. 1603-17) AND HIS IMMEDIATE PREDECESSORS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Günhan Börekçi Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jane Hathaway, Chair Professor Howard Crane Professor Stephen F. Dale Copyright by Günhan Börekçi 2010 All rights reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the changing dynamics of power and patronage relations at the Ottoman sultan’s court in Istanbul between the 1570s and the 1610s. This was a crucial period that many scholars today consider the beginning of a long era of “crisis and transformation” in the dynastic, political, socio-economic, military and administrative structures of the early modern Ottoman Empire. The present study focuses on the politics of factionalism and favoritism at the higher echelons of the Ottoman ruling elite who were situated in and around Topkapı Palace, which served as both the sultan’s royal residence and the seat of his imperial government. It is an effort to shed light on the political problems of this period through the prism of the paramount ruling figure, the sultan, by illustrating how the Ottoman rulers of this era, namely, Murad III (r. 1574-95), Mehmed III (r. 1595-1603) and Ahmed I (r. 1603-17), repositioned themselves in practical politics vis-à-vis alternative foci of power and networks of patronage, and how they projected power in the context of a factional politics that was intertwined with the exigencies of prolonged wars and incessant military rebellions.

  • Safiye's Household and Venetian Diplomacy
    Maria Pia PEDANI 9 SAFIYE'S HOUSEHOLD AND VENETIAN DIPLOMACY I n the first half of the nineteenth century, historians discovered the importance of the papers produced by the councils and offices of the Republic of Venice and kept in the Venetian State Archives, in the ancient Frari convent, since 1822. Emanuele Antonio Cicogna in 1825 and Leopold Ranke in 1829 are usually considered the first scholars to have consulted these documents after having obtained permission to see them from the emperor Francis I. At that time without this special per- mission historians could not enter the Frari Archives. Even the famous collection of Venetian ambassadors’ reports, edited by Eugenio Alberi, Nicolò Barozzi and Guglielmo Berchet, had to be made on the basis of copies kept in private collections and in other Italian archives and libraries. For this reason the editors, and many scholars after them, did not realise that further reports existed in the Venetian State Archives and that some ambassadors and secretaries even composed two different reports, one for the public and one for the Senate1.
