In a state-of-the art introduction to Ottoman history, Suraiya Faroqhi explores the documentary sources and explains how to interpret them to students in the field and in related disciplines. By considering both archival and narrative sources, she demonstrates why they were prepared, encouraging her readers to adopt a critical approach to their findings. While the book is essentially a guide to a complex discipline for initiates into the field, the experienced Ottomanist will find much that is original and provocative in its sophisticated interpretation.

Review
"...an excellent choice for undergraduate classes in such subjects as cultural studies, historiography, and historical sociology. In any field of history, the appearance of such an innovative primer on method would be regarded as a signal pedagogical event. For Ottoman studies, suspended between philology and post-colonial theory, the production of a text of such charm, candor, and utility is nothing short of miraculous." MESA Bulletin

Very useful,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Approaching Ottoman History: An Introduction to the Sources (Paperback)
This book is written for students studying the Ottoman Empire. It's an approach which I've not found elsewhere. Professor Faroqui plays the role of an expert academic advisor who is prepared to spend time discussing your thesis or dissertation topic and the sources. In that regard the book is outstanding.
5.0 out of 5 stars
