Reviews
'... Aksan and Goffman's collection is an excellent example of what Ottoman history can be when the skilful close reading of texts traditionally valued by Ottomanists is seen as a means, rather than as an end, to research. ... The volume is thus both a valuable contribution to Ottoman studies - furthering research on well-established topics such as diplomacy, urban planning, or military reform - and an effective discussion of historical space and time broadly conceived.'
