ambassadors, merchants and other travellers made it their business to write about

their various receptions in the Ottoman lands and, analysed with due caution,

these accounts are germane to our topic. On the other hand, Ottoman writers of

the sixteenth or seventeenth century, as the perusal of their chronicles shows, certainly

focused on Istanbul and the sultans court, but did not totally ignore the

world outside the Empires frontiers either.1 After all, the very stuff of such

works consisted of campaigns, conquests and the incorporation of foreign territories.

But on occasion, these authors also could not avoid including defeats, the

losses of provinces and the truces and peace treaties that, provisionally or on a

long-term basis, ended inter-state conflicts. All these warlike encounters can be

viewed as a way of relating to the outside world: no conquest without something

out there that is still unconquered.2 Certainly the situation at European courts

and albeit to a lesser degree the institutions characteristic of European societies

only became a major topic of Ottoman written texts in the eighteenth century.

But given their close concern with war and conquest, it is an exaggeration to

claim that the authors of earlier chronicles had no interest at all in what went on

outside the borders of the sultans empire. Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon
