SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In "A History of Ottoman Political Thought Up to the Early Nineteenth Century," Marinos Sariyannis offers a survey of Ottoman political texts, examined in a book-length study for the first time. From the last glimpses of Ghaza ideology and the first instances of Persian political philosophy in the fifteenth century till the apologists of Western-style military reform in the early nineteenth century, the author studies a multitude of theories and views, focusing on an identification of ideological trends rather than a simple enumeration of texts and authors. At the same time, it offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English
