the cambridge history of
TURKEY*
Volume I of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the rise ofTurkish power in Anatolia from the arrival of the first Turks atthe end of the eleventh century to the fall of Constantinople tothe Ottomans in 1453. Taking the period as a whole, rather thandividing it along the more usual pre-Ottoman/Ottoman fault line,the volume covers the political, economic, social, intellectual andcultural history of the region as the Byzantine Empire crumbledand Anatolia passed into Turkish control to become the heartlandof the Ottoman Empire. In this way, the contributors to the volumeengage with and emphasise the continuities of the era rather than itsdislocations, situating Anatolia within its geographic context at thecrossroads of Central Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean.The world which emerges is one of military encounter, but also ofcultural co-habitation, intellectual and diplomatic exchange, andpolitical finesse. This is a state-of-the-art work of reference on anunderstudied period in Turkish history by some of the leadingscholars in the field.

The Cambridge History of Turkey represents a monumentalenterprise. The History, comprising four volumes, covers theperiod from the end of the eleventh century, with the arrival of theTurks in Anatolia, through the emergence of the early Ottomanstate, and its development into a powerful empire in the fifteenthand sixteenth centuries, encompassing a massive territory fromthe borders of Iran in the east, to Hungary in the west, and NorthAfrica and the Arabian Peninsula in the south. The last volumecovers its destruction in the aftermath of the First World War, andthe history of the modern state of Turkey which arose from theashes of empire. Chapters from an international team of contrib-utors reflect the very significant advances that have taken place inOttoman history and Turkish studies in recent years.
