Reviews

'This book deserves attention both for its theoretical sophistication and for the extraordinary variety of its sources. By bringing together maps and travel narratives with works of cosmography, administrative documents, and even poetry, Emiralioglu has forged an innovative and thought-provoking framework for understanding the Ottomans' views of the world and their own place within it.' Giancarlo Casale, author of The Ottoman Age of Exploration 'PA+-nar Emiralioglu's new book skillfully weaves together an analysis of sixteenth-century geographical and cartographical texts in Ottoman Turkish and a synthesis of scholarly work on Ottoman and other early modern imperial cultures.' American Historical Review
