Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the policies and machinations of the Ottoman Empire. Written in the early 18th century by an accomplished diplomat, it offers unique insights into the political and cultural framework of this influential empire. The author begins by analysing the Ottoman system of government, explaining how the absolute power of the Sultan was tempered by certain rules and traditions. He then discusses the role of the military in Ottoman society, highlighting the importance of the Janissaries. The author also explores the religious and social customs of the Turks, providing a detailed account of their beliefs and practices. He describes the role of the Ulema, the class of religious scholars who interpreted Islamic law, and the importance of the Dervish orders in Turkish society. The book concludes with a discussion of the Ottoman Empire's relations with other European powers. The author argues that the Ottomans were a formidable military force, but that their empire was ultimately weakened by internal divisions and the rise of nationalism in the Balkans. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Ottoman Empire. It provides a comprehensive overview of the empire's political, social, and religious institutions, and offers insights into the complex relationship between the Ottomans and other European powers.
