A Tale of Two Cities

The main lines of the legend, as formulated by the medieval traditionalists and cosmographers, are as follows: there are two cities at the uttermost east and west parts of the inhabited wor…

Unseen Rebels
Ottoman urban revolt has been the subject of many studies, but most of them consider either the janissaries or political factions of the elite as the main actors. However, Ottoman sources point to the marked participation of what can be called the ‘urban mob’, people without any strong professional or military affiliation. The article seeks to explore the type and scope of this participation, the composition and socioeconomic characteristics of t…
The limits of going global
The paper seeks to summarize the discussions of the last two decades on the existence of a phenomenon that can be named "Ottoman Enlightenment." It discusses the German debates on Reinhardt Schulze's suggestion of an "Islamic Enlightenment," as well as more recent studies on the emergence of a different view of the nature and the world in Istanbul during the first decades of the 18th century. These debates are analyzed in the context of different…

Notes on the Ottoman Poll-Tax Reforms of the Late Seventeenth Century
In 1691 the Ottoman government abolished the old system of collecting the poll-tax (cizye) from non-Muslim subjects; instead of imposing a standard rate per household, the tax would be levied per person according to three classes: rich, middle-class and poor. In 1670, the same reform had been implemented in Crete and the Aegean. Some observations concerning the distribution of the taxpayers into the three classes raise the question of how these l…
