The Origins of the Ottoman Empire
In The Origins of the Ottoman Empire, Köprülü criticized as unscientific the prevailing Western explanations of the origins of the Ottoman Empire. Leiser's translation from the Turkish reveals Köprülü's modern historiographic method, and his unique contribution in describing the nature of the relevant Muslim sources. Using these and other references, Köprülü gave the first broad comprehensive account--political, religious, social, and economic--of the Turkish history of Anatolia in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and outlined the major factors that led to the rise of the Ottomans.

Selahattin Ülkümen, the Turkish Righteous among the Nations
The history of the Holocaust is far from complete. Even with more than seven decades of Holocaust research and writing behind us, there are many specialist topics within Holocaust historiography that have not been dealt with in detail, including the role of Turkey. This has caused the researchers of the Holocaust in other countries to often include limited, outdated, and sometimes incorrect data about Turkey in their studies. Within the flood of publications on Holocaust history that has been rising since the 1990s, and which has maintained its momentum ever since, studies on the role of Turkey remain comparatively underexplored. Selahattin Ülkümen, a Turk, is the only Muslim diplomat who ...
Zeki Kuneralp and the Turkish Foreign Service
This book is not a conventional biography. It is not only a portrait of a larger-than-life Turkish diplomat, whose Foreign Service career spanned almost four decades – from 1941 to 1979 – but also offers a glimpse into the evolution of the organization of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and provides an account of the attitudes and methods of the Ministry’s officials. A good biography should cast light upon its subject’s times as well as his – or her – life; upon the way things were done, as much as upon the way a particular individual reacted and behaved. As such, in this book, not only is Zeki Kuneralp the man addressed but also the great developments of his time are ex...
The Nature of the Early Ottoman State
Drawing on surviving documents from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, The Nature of the Early Ottoman State provides a revisionist approach to the study of the formative years of the Ottoman Empire. Challenging the predominant view that a desire to spread Islam accounted for Ottoman success during the fourteenth-century advance into Southeastern Europe, Lowry argues that the primary motivation was a desire for booty and slaves. The early Ottomans were a plundering confederacy, open to anyone (Muslim or Christian) who could meaningfully contribute to this goal. It was this lack of a strict religious orthodoxy, and a willingness to preserve local customs and practices, that allowed the Ottomans to gain and maintain support. Later accounts were written to buttress what had become the self-image of the dynasty following its incorporation of the heartland of the Islamic world in the sixteenth century.
The Origins of the Ottoman Empire
Originally presented as a series of lectures delivered at the Sorbonne, and first published in Paris in 1935 (the present English translation, by Gary Leiser, was made from the Turkish edition, which wasn't published until 1959). Koprulu's renowned work criticizes Western research on the origins of the Ottoman state, presents a scientific method for studying the topic, and then applies the method to describe the events that set the stage for the rise of the Ottomans.

Architecture and Hagiography in the Ottoman Empire
Based on a thorough examination of buildings, inscriptions, archival documents and hagiographies, this book uncovers the political significance of Bektashi shrines in the Ottoman imperial age. It thus provides a fresh and comprehensive account of the formative process of the Bektashi order, which started out as a network of social groups that took issue with Ottoman imperial policies in the late fifteenth century, was endorsed imperially as part of Bayezid II's (r. 1481-1512) soft power policy, and was kept in check by imperial authorities as the Ottoman approach to the Safavid conflict hardened during the rest of the sixteenth century. This book demonstrates that it was a combination of two...
Islam and Christianity in Medieval Anatolia
Islam and Christianity in Medieval Anatolia offers a comparative approach to understanding the spread of Islam and Muslim culture in medieval Anatolia. It aims to reassess work in the field since the 1971 classic by Speros Vryonis, The Decline of Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization which treats the process of transformation from a Byzantinist perspective. Since then, research has offered insights into individual aspects of Christian-Muslim relations, but no overview has appeared. Moreover, very few scholars of Islamic studies have examined the problem, meaning evidence in Arabic, Persian and Turkish has been somewhat neglected at the expense of Christian sources, and too ...
Türkiye Selçuklu Devleti Tarihi
Oğuz boyunun ana Kınık kabilesinden küçük Selçuklu Aşiretini; Osmanlılarda olduğu gibi, kısa zamanda cihangir bir devlet ve koca bir imparatorluk haline getiren büyük ruh yapısı ve milli irade gücü, Kaşgar önlerinden Nil vadisi, Kuzey Kafkasya’dan, Arabistan’ın güney kıyılarına kadar çok geniş coğrafi iklimlere yayılmış böylesine muazzam bir imparatorluk, bu imparatorluğun kurucularu, cihangir ruhlu Türk Sultanlardır. Arapların ve İranlıların tarihî misyonlarını tamamladıkları bu dönemde, İslâm Dünyası Bizans’ın karşı atakları yüzünden geri çekilme ve medenî bakımdan da duraklama dönemine girmiş bulunuyordu. Nitekim Selçuklu s...
