The Ottoman Empire was the last great Muslim political entity, emerging in the later Middle Ages and continuing its existence until the early 20th century and the creation of the modern state of Turkey.

Here you will find an in-depth treatise covering the political social, and economic history of the Ottoman Empire, the last member of the lineage of the Near Eastern and Mediterranean empires and the only one that reached the modern times both in terms of internal structure and world history.

Key Features:
o Historical maps
o A detailed chronology
o A list of Ottoman sultans and
grand viziers
o A dictionary consisting of 781 entries
o An analytical bibliography
o Details where original Turkish documents can be located

Editorial Reviews

Review

...this work helps fill a void in the reference resources available in English on the Ottoman Empire....For academic libraries that support courses in Middle Eastern, Turkish, or Islamic history and for public libraries serving Turkish populations, this work will be a welcome addition. (Arba )

...a useful resource... (Südost-Forschungen )

A huge contribution to Ottoman research and provides historical information on the political, religious, social, and economic aspects of one of the greatest empires in world history...The introduction alone, divided into subject areas that include political history and Ottoman civilization, serves as an essential resource to this era in history...This work should benefit both neophytes and seasoned scholars of Ottoman history. It is an essential resource highly recommended for larger public libraries and academic libraries that support disciplines in world history and Near Eastern studies. (Reference Reviews )

...detailed chronology...a useful...guide....Recommended. (Choice )
