Yayın Istanbul and Crete in the mid-1600s: Evliya Çelebi’s discourse on non-Muslims(SAGE, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüThe subject of our discussion is the travelogue of Evliya Çelebi, born in 1611to a goldsmith of the sultans’ palace known as Derviş Mehemmed Zılli andwho probably died in Cairo around 1685. It is intriguing for a multitudeof reasons, one of them especially relevant for the present purpose: WhileEvliya’s work covers the entire Ottoman Empire and adjacent territories inten substantial volumes, we do not know the patrons and/or other addresseesthat the author may have envisaged. While the author often mentioned twogrand viziers and other figures of the highest levels of the Ottoman elite,who employed him and with whom he had good relations, by the mid-1680sthey had mostly predeceased him, sometimes by several decades.Yayın Introduction(SAGE, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüVery often, the editors responsible for collections of articles will statethat they have joined originally disparate contributions into coherentpublications that resemble single-author books. Put differently, theseeditors claim to have established strong connections between the piecesentrusted to them by individual authors. Often these editors will go so faras to rename the articles at issue, now calling them ‘chapters’. By contrast,the present collection is consciously eclectic, and the editor does not aimat presenting the eight articles appearing here as parts of a unified whole.Rather, I hope that readers will be able to visualise, at least in part, thediversity of approaches to pre-1850s Ottoman social history as practicedtoday. Moreover, this collection should make visible some trends thatmay be relevant for the future, the historians at issue—with the exceptionof the present author—being either young scholars or else in mid-career.Yayın The Ottoman and Mughal Empires: Social history in the early modern world(I.B. Tauris, 2019) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih BölümüIt is not easy to envisage a complex society such as the Otto1nan from the vantage point of another polity, with which the viewer/author is but moderately familiar, as is true in my case where the Mughal world is at issue. The idea gerininated during a series of introductory courses on Mughal history that I taught at Istanbul Bilgi University from 2014 onward. When in front of the class, I found that the best way of making the topic meaningful to the students (and to myself as well) was to step back and look at the manner in which the inhabitants of the Ottonman Empire approached a given problem, which albeit in a different shape, existed in the Mughal world as well. It was even more exciting to find that certain fundamental rules, with which Ottomanist historians are quite familiar, such as for instance the notion that the holders of tax assigrunents were responsible for law and order in the districts assigned to them, was not as central an issue in Mughal India, as it was in Ottoman history. The constant change from the familiar to the unfamiliar and back again, was one of the more stimulating experiences associated first with the classes that I taught and later with the writing of this book...
