Plague and Empire in the Early Modern Mediterranean World: The Ottoman Experience, 1347–1600, by Nükhet Varlık
Censorship in Late Ottoman Istanbul: The Ordinary, The Extraordinary, The Visual
The Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876–1909), was well known for the imposition of various stringent forms of censorship. In that regard he joins a long procession of autocrats dating from ancient times to the present. But censorship ranges from the ordinary to the extraordinary as it is deployed and as it is represented in narrative and visual formats. When I began research for my study of cartoon satire during Abdülhamid II's reign (Image an…

Mapping the Ottomans: Sovereignty, Territory, and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean
Simple paradigms of Muslim-Christian confrontation and the rise of Europe in the seventeenth century do not suffice to explain the ways in which European mapping envisioned the 'Turks' in image and narrative. Rather, maps, travel accounts, compendia of knowledge, and other texts created a picture of the Ottoman Empire through a complex layering of history, ethnography, and eyewitness testimony, which juxtaposed current events to classical and bib…
Empire and Holy War in the Mediterranean: The galley and maritime conflict between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires
Sen de “Klasik”, Ben Diyeyim “Emperyal”, Sonra Ortada Buluşalım: Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na Dair Seyahat Anlatılarındaki İmparatorluk, Fert ve “Karşılaşma” Kavramları
The literature of “encounter” has enriched our sense of who the Ottomans were and how they were described by their various others. And although the notion of encounter comprises interaction at the levels of group, commune, state, and empire, it is most expressive when it presumes the individual – a person for whom these larger entities are made manifest in the figures of individual personalities. This paper thus takes as its subject the “telling”…

Ottoman expansion in Europe, ca. 1453–1606
The Ottoman Empire is often imagined in terms of major conquests and major reigns, those that are expansive. Thus, the sixteenth century, in the context of Ottoman “activity” in Europe, tends to be framed by the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 and by the conclusion of the “long” Ottoman–Habsburg war of 1593–1606, respectively, or by the reigns of Mehmed II (r. 1444–6, 1451–81) and Murad III (r. 1574–95), with that of Süleyman the Lawgiver (152…
The Cambridge History of Turkey: Volume 2, the Ottoman Empire As a World Power, 1453-1603
Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the period from the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. During this period, the Ottoman Empire moved into a new phase of expansion, emerging in the sixteenth century as a dominant political player on the world scene. With territory stretching around the Mediterranean from the Adriatic Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans reac…

Envisioning Ottoman Wealth: Narrating and Mapping Ottoman "Treasure" in the Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries
The Venetian bailo, Giovanni Moro, in his relazione of 1590, claimed that Sultan Murad III had accumulated a treasure as no other past emperor has ever seen. The gifts given to him alone were almost an unstoppable river of gold, such that [the level of its richness] is difficult to believe and impossible to relate.1 The relazioni were, of course, rhetorical constructions, repeating various tropes of Ottoman wealth, power, and greed that had been …

The Ottomans as a World Power: What we don't know About Ottoman Sea-Power
Students often happen to accept and transmit absurd information that, in turn, is believed on their authority. Al-Mas'udi, for in stance, reports such a story about Alexander. Sea monsters pre vented Alexander from building Alexandria. He took a wooden container in which a glass box was inserted, and dived in it to the bottom of the sea. There he drew pictures of the devilish monsters he saw. He then had metal effigies of these animals made and s…

Dogs, Women, Cholera, and Other Menaces in the Streets: Cartoon Satire in the Ottoman Revolutionary Press, 1908–11
History is enamored of revolutions. This essay takes as its subject a revolution—the Young Turk Revolution of 1908—which overthrew one of the most enduring autocracies of early modern times. It concerns itself, however, with revolution of a specific kind, cartoon revolution: where images could take precedence over words; where the past, present, and future were created and imagined; where the celebration of new freedoms brought citizens into cont…

The Overrated adversary: Rhodes and Ottoman naval power
This essay examines the relative power of the Rhodian and Ottoman fleets in the first decades of the sixteenth century, taking as its context the commercial and diplomatic relations of the eastern Levantine states. After the Aegean wars of 1499–1503 Rhodes failed to mobilize a Christian alliance against the Ottomans. Nor did the rise of Ismail Safavi in Iran provide the hoped for relief from Ottoman expansion. While the Ottoman state was preoccup…

Competition and Coincidence: Venetian Trading Interests and Ottoman Expansion in the Early Sixteenth-century Levant
Historiography generally has excluded the “oriental” empires from the competition for world economic power. The Chinese sailed to Africa in the early fifteenth century. Then one day the ships “just stopped coming.” The Mongols “swept” across the steppes for the love of conquest, pastures, space. The Ottoman armies marched to Yemen, Tabriz, Vienna. Yet this marching was somehow instinctual, a reaction of blood, training, temperament. One might sup…
