Description: "This volume, the second of mine to appear in the Variorum 'Collected Studies' series, continues from where its predecessor broke off at the end of the twentieth century, and brings together fourteen studies in Ottoman and Mediterranean history which were published between 2000 and 2009....The fourteen studies collected here need little by way of introduction. Those in Part One...reflect my ongoing commitment to what may be termed land-based Ottoman history, and in particular to the later seventeenth century and the intricacies of Anglo-Ottoman diplomacy in the era of the Köprülü ascendency. In contrast, a number of the papers, and particularly most of those in Part Two...reflect my more recent involvement in the historical and historiographical legacy of the great historian of the early modern Mediterranean, Fernand Braudel, as refracted through what may be termed...the 'post-Braudelian' history of the Mediterranean in the seventeenth and eigteenth century."--Preface, p. [ix].
