Produktbeschreibung

"In Taming the Messiah, Aslıhan Gürbüzel skillfully describes the emergence of a new public sphere in the seventeenth-century Ottoman Empire. An accomplished study of Ottoman politics and culture and a trenchant critique of Eurocentric notions, this book will appeal to Ottomanists and scholars working on other Islamic societies, as well as Europeanists who are interested in fresh perspectives on early modern public and political life."--Kaya Şahin, Associate Professor of History and Director of the Islamic Studies Program, Indiana University Bloomington "A major contribution to both Ottoman political history and Islamic studies. There is nothing comparable to this book in terms of demonstrating the impact of the political changes that took place in the seventeenth century on the political and religious idiom of the Ottoman Empire."--Baki Tezcan, Professor of History, University of California, Davis "Gürbüzel has produced a new narrative of the seventeenth century, one that puts the Sufi opponents of religious puritanism and sultanic absolutism at the center of the story. Her account is at the same time an intellectual history of Ottoman Sufism. The reader comes away with a vivid sense of the mystical theology that undergirded their critique."--Molly Greene, Professor of History and Hellenic Studies, Princeton University
