Essays in Ottoman History

In this volume are collected papers published between 1960 and 1994, dealing with early Ottoman history and historiography, and Ottoman urban and legal history.<br/>"I believe we have to consider first whether the Ottomans themselves divided their history into periods, whether they were conscious of a distinction between the age in which they lived and earlier ages, and what ideas they had about periods in history."<br/>--Halil Inalcik
