Ottoman High Politics and the Ulema Household

By Michael Nizri

Book Overview

In the 17th century, the elite household (kap?) became the focal point of Ottoman elite politics and socialization. It was a cultural melting pot, bringing together individuals of varied backgrounds through empire-wide patronage networks. This book investigates the layers of kap? power, through the example of ?eyh?lislam Feyzullah Efendielite.
