Abstract

“The Ninth Congress of the Comité International des Études Préottomanes et Ottomanes (CIEPO) convened in Jerusalem at the end of July 1990. It focused principally on three topics: the Ottoman city; the foreign relations of the Ottomans; and local and regional sources for Ottoman history. Scholars attended from more than a dozen countries and presented over 120 papers. Of these, approximately half were by Israeli scholars from the five major universities, reflecting the importance of Ottoman studies in Israel.

This volume could include only a sample of the papers delivered in Jerusalem. Those papers covered an even broader spectrum of topics than the ones published here. The ones selected mirror the primary concentrations of the meeting, but their scope reflects the tremendous range of subjects to be addressed even within very defined parameters. The twenty-six articles are divided into four categories: Towns; Early Ottoman History; International Relations; and Literary, Administrative, and Other Sources.”
