Charting the history of the Ottoman Empire through a wide range of primary sources dated from 1300 to 1920, this sourcebook renders Ottoman history newly accessible to beginners. The 73 texts represent the most comprehensive offering of Ottoman sources published for the classroom, translated from Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Greek and Armenian. The selected texts range from chronicles to treaties, poetry and folk tales to essays, and biography to legal court registers, imperial orders, and financial records. Each source is accompanied by a short contextual introduction and study questions; maps and illustrations immerse students in the diverse Ottoman world. Suitable for either a one-semester or two-semester course, Reading Ottoman History will serve as an ideal accompaniment to popular textbooks such as Douglas A. Howard's A History of the Ottoman Empire, offering students vivid inside views of the political, military, economic, social, cultural and religious history of the Ottoman Empire.
