This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called Mamluk sultans who ruled Egypt and Syria between the late thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries AD have often been portrayed as lacking in legitimacy due to their background as slave soldiers. Sultanic biographies written by chancery officials in the early period of the sultanate have been read as part of an effort of these sultans to legitimise their position on the throne. This book reconsiders the main corpus of six such biographies written by the historians Ibn ʿAbd al-Ẓāhir (d. 1293) and his nephew Shāfiʿ ibn ʿAlī (d. 1330) and argues that these were in fact far more complex texts. An understanding of their discourses of legitimisation needs to be embedded within a broader understanding of the multi-directional discourses operating across the texts. The study proposes to interpret these texts as "spectacles", in which authors emplotted the reign of a sultan in thoroughly literary and rhetorical fashion, making especially extensive use of textual forms prevalent in the chancery. In doing so the authors reimagined the format of the biography as a performative vehicle for displaying their literary credentials and helping them negotiate positions in the chancery and the wider courtly orbit.

Book excerpt: "Delving into personal letters, court documents, wills, correspondence with Sufi masters and the travel records of seafarers and traders, Faroqhi has identified a broad range of areas where individuals were able to create a flourishing and vibrant urban civilization, even while politically the Empire was beginning its relentless decline. By presenting a new vision of Ottoman cultural history, Subjects of the Sultan fills a huge gap and will fascinate not only historians of the Middle East but also social historians, students and discerning readers interested in history."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting from 135 manuscripts that were once part of the library of the late Mamluk sultan Qāniṣawh al-Ghawrī (r. 1501–1516), this book challenges the dominant narrative of a "post-court era", in which courts were increasingly marginalized in the field of adab. Rather than being the literary barren field that much of the Arabic and Arabic-centred sources, produced extra muros, would have us believe, it re-cognizes Qāniṣawh's court as a rich and vibrant literary site and a cosmopolitan hub in a burgeoning Turkic literary ecumene. It also re-centres the ruler himself within this court. No longer the passive object of panegyric or the source of patronage alone, Qāniṣawh has an authorial voice in his own right, one that is idiosyncratic yet in conversation with other voices. As such, while this book is first and foremost a book about books, it is one that consciously aspires to be more than that: a book about a library, and, ultimately, a book about the man behind the library, Qāniṣawh al-Ghawrī.

Book excerpt: The subject of this vast, astonishing and brilliantly readable work of history is the bizarre story of the Ottoman Empire, seen through the lives and actions of its sultans, with their absolute power and terrifying cruelty, their love of pomp and magnificence and their overwhelming venality and corruption. The author describes the men, the events, the daily life, the strange customs of Turkey's court, from her emergence as a great power in the sixteenth century to the death of Kemal Ataturk, who overthrew the Sultanate to establish a new and more modern form of tyranny. This book is a unique and fascinating record of four centuries of glory, debauchery, splendor and cruelty. --from inside jacket flap.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ..., mensely interesting development of Turkey's growth, from the embryonic nucleus of a nomadic tribe, to Portal of Green Mosque -- Brusa its gradual attainment to the dignity and power of an independent state and kingdom. The "King's or Sultan's Front," a stretch of territory awarded to Ertoghrul after a second brilliant military achievement -- the defence of the Pass of Ermini -- was the beginning of the temporal and spiritual sway of the Ottoman Turks in Asia Minor. Within this rich land-gift lay Brusa, the enchanting city later to be made the capital of the new-comer's ever-growing kingdom. Through the pages of historians, as upon the maps of the world, you may follow the amazing development of this new Turkish power. Each historian will colour his presentment of this story of Turkish conquest, as do the map-makers, with pigments chosen according to his taste and preference for the intense or the pallid, for the neutral-tinted, or for the more flaming-hued. Knolles will give you a mediaeval illuminated recital, full of quaintly pleasing figures and phrases. From the later, more modern passionate invectives of Freeman you will doubtless turn, if only to gain a fairer estimate, to Gibbon's dispassionately pious presentment of the entrance of the race and the conqueror upon the European stage whom Europeans still regard as " the scourge of God." Finlay will be calm in his most dramatic pages, as Renan, in his incomparably poetic descriptions, will seem to have caught, not only the essential features of that sacred Syrian soil ruled over by the Turk, but the very soul of all its people. On whatever scene or epoch your mental eye may chance to dwell, there will be one, however, to which, involuntarily, you will turn again and again. The...

But in the sixteenth century, his military campaigns played a huge role in the shifting face of European politics. He was a man in search of power-his quest carried him not only to daring military exploits in Europe and Asia, but also through the intricate web of the Ottoman court, where deceit, scheming, and treachery abounded.

This book describes his life, from his rivalry with the Hapsburg brothers, Charles and Ferdinand, to his doomed friendship with his grand vizier, Ibrahim, and his relationship with the indomitable Roxelana. Here you will find accounts of the battles he fought, the heroics and blunders of his enemies, and his relentless progress toward his colossal ambitions.
