This book is a comprehensive study of various aspects of the six hundred-year old history of the Ottoman State and civilisation from the formation of the Ottoman principality until the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923. Rather than enumerating the historical facts in a chronological order, the book treats the subjects at hand in an analytical way by detecting relations between the events and attempting to reach a synthesis. The first volume focuses on the following subjects: Ottoman political history, Ottoman state administration during the classical period, administrative organisation during and after the Tanzimat period, Ottoman military organisation, Ottoman legal system, Ottoman society, Ottoman economy. The second volume deals with the following subjects: language and literature, intellectual life, religion and thought, education and science, architecture and art - covering calligraphy, illumination and music.
