Excerpt from The Foundation of the Ottoman Empire: A History of the Osmanlis Up to the Death of Bayezid I, 1300-1403

I plead guilty to many footnotes. Much of my text is controversial in character, and tlr� subject-matter is so little known that the general reader would hardly be able to form judgements without a constant - but I trust not wearisome - reference to authorities.

Excerpt from The Foundation of the Ottoman Empire: A History of the Osmanlis Up to the Death of Bayezid I, 1300-1403

Four years of residence in the Ottoman Empire, chiefly in Constantinople, during the most disastrous period of its decline, have led me to investigate its origin. This book is written because I feel that the result of my research brings a new point of view to the student of the twentieth-century problems of the Near East, as well as to those who are interested in fourteenth-century Europe. If we study the past, it is to understand the present and to prepare for the future.

I plead guilty to many footnotes. Much of my text is controversial in character, and the subject-matter is so little known that the general reader would hardly be able to form judgements without a constant - but I trust not wearisome - reference to authorities.

The risk that I run of incurring criticism from Oriental philologists on the ground of nomenclature is very great. I ask their indulgence. Will they not take into consideration the fact that there is no accepted standard among English-speaking scholars for the transliteration of Turkish and Slavic names? Wherever possible, I have adopted the spelling in general usage in the Near East, and in English standard lexicons and encyclopaedias. When a general usage cannot be determined, I have frequently been at a loss.

There was the effort to be as consistent in spelling as sources and authorities would permit.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This captivating historical work uncovers the remarkable rise of the Ottoman Empire, a new power born amidst the crumbling Byzantine Empire in the 14th century. The book challenges conventional narratives by tracing the origins of the Ottomans not to a Turkish invasion, but to the emergence of a small pastoral tribe under Osman, a leader who converted to Islam and united various elements in northwestern Anatolia. The author presents meticulous research and lucid analysis to explore the complexities of Ottoman origins. Through a chronological account, the book reveals the gradual expansion of the Ottoman principality, its early conquests, and the strategic role of its conversion to Islam. By focusing on the decades before the Ottomans' engagement with Europe, the book sheds new light on their foundation and the factors that shaped their identity and ambitions. This comprehensive work delves into the political, religious, and military dynamics that propelled the Ottomans' remarkable ascent. It challenges traditional historiography, offers new perspectives on the origins of the Ottoman Empire, and provides insights into the nature of early Ottoman society and its profound impact on the course of history.
