Frontiers of Ottoman Studies provides a
comprehensive overview of the surge in research into
Ottoman history and culture over the past two decades.
The first volume reflects the growing interest in the
provinces, communities and cultures outside the imperial
capitaLolistanbut and covers four majdrareas: politics
and Islam; economy and taxation; development of Ottoman
towns and Arab and Jewish communities. Chapters on
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.
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.
