The Ottoman City between East and West Aleppo, Izmir, and Istanbul Eldem Goffman
The Ottoman City between East and WestAleppo, Izmir, and Istanbul\nAuthor(s): Edhem Eldem, Daniel Goffman, Bruce Masters\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9780521643047, 978-0521643047\nSynopsis\nStudies of early-modern Islamic cities have stressed the atypical or the idiosyncratic. This bias derives largely from orientalist presumptions that they were in some way substandard or deviant. The first purpose of this volume is to normalize Ottoman cities, to demonstrate how, on the one hand, they resembled cities generally and how, on the other, their specific histories individualized them. The second purpose is to challenge the previous literature and to negotiate an agenda for future study. By considering the narrative histories of Aleppo, Izmir and Istanbul, the book offers a departure from the piecemeal methods of previous studies, emphasizing their importance during the seventeenth and eighteenth c.
