Summary: "It would not be an overstatement to say that Cemal Kafadar has transformed the field of Ottoman History. As a result of his path-breaking books and articles, the field is experiencing a turn within itself as well as recasting its relationship with world history. He has trained a plethora of students and shared ideas with many colleagues through collective projects over the last thirty years at Princeton, Harvard and beyond. This volume is a tribute to Cemal Kafadar from us, his students, colleagues and friends, as we hope to participate in this turn, and showcase some of the works he may have formally supervised, casually discussed over tea, and generally inspired over the years." -- Provided by publisher.
