Kanuni ve Çağı: Yeniçağda Osmanlı Dünyası

by İ. Metin Kunt, Christine Woodhead (Editor), Sermet Yalçın (Translator)

Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent (r.1520-1566) dominated the eastern Mediterranean and Ottoman worlds - and the imagination of his contemporaries - very much as his fellow sovereigns Charles V, Francis I and Henry VIII in the west. He greatly expanded the Ottoman empire, capturing Rhodes, Belgrade, Hungary, the Red Sea coast of Arabia, and even besieging Vienna. Patron and legislator as well as conqueror, he stamped his name on an age. These specially-commissioned essays by leading experts examine Suleyman's reign in its wider political and diplomatic context, both Ottoman and European.

The contributors Peter Burke; Geza David; Suraiaya Faroqhi; Peter Holt; Colin Imber; Salih Uzbaran; Metin Kunt; Christine Woodhead; and Ann Williams.

tendré que releerlo porque no ha conseguido captar mi atención al 100%, escrito por varios autores pretender explicar temas clave de la época el sultán a través de un estudio crítico de las fuentes tanto otomanas como no-otomanas puestas en contexto.
