Before the Middle East
This essays proposes a roadmap to explore the fundamentals of the interaction between states in the heartland of Islamdom during early modernity. It seeks to encourage a study to establish how territorial polities emerged to supersede the dynasticism that had thitherto prevailed and to relegate the ruling house from being the very embodiment of state to one of several components underpinning the existence of the state. These novelties of early mo…
The Ottoman Empire and Safavid Iran, 1639-1683
This book explores the diplomacy and political affairs between the Ottoman Empire and Safavid Iran from 1639 to 1682, a period marked by the Peace of Zuhab (a.k.a. Kasr-ı Şirin), which established a stable yet tense detente between the two monarchies.

Naderid Iran's Statehood, Territoriality, Status, and Diplomatic Capacity on Ottoman Scale
This article explores Naderid Iran's nature of statehood, position in international balance of power, and evolving diplomatic practice. It argues that from 1723 to 1747, the sovereign establishment in Iran remained fundamentally dynastic without giving way to territoriality, continued to acknowledge Ottoman superiority in hierarchy as well as power relations as a principle, and gradually began to adopt, for the first time, early modern specialize…
Catholic Missionary Activity in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire from the Perspectives of State and Convert
Catholic Church efforts to convert Christians of the Ottoman Empire accelerated in the early seventeenth century after the establishment of the "Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith" ( Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide ) in 1622, and in the remainder of the century missionaries would be particularly successful in winning converts among Ottoman Armenians. This success gradually led to intra-Armenian conflict between Apostolic Ar…
Ottoman Archival Documents on the Shrines of Karbala, Najaf, and the Hejaz (1660s-1720s)
This study introduces and publishes an array of Ottoman archival documents on the shrines of Ahl al-Bayt imams in Iraq, the endowments dedicated to these shrines, and the Shiite-Iranian pilgrims visiting these sites as well as the Kaaba and the shrine of Muhammad in the Hejaz. Focusing on the later seventeenth and the early eighteenth centuries, it discusses the political-economic function of Islamic endowments, interconfessional contacts resulti…
The Ottoman Chancery's Role in Diplomacy with Iran
This study first considers how master secretaries of the Ottoman Imperial Council went beyond their field of scribal business and began to have a share in carrying out the empire's foreign policy by putting it into words. Next, it deals with the specific genre of documents that took shape step by step as one chancery office worked up an incoming writ and forwarded it to another bureau. It thereby shows how we can indeed unearth new knowledge on p…
