European and Islamic Trade in the Early Ottoman State
The Merchants of Genoa and Turkey
International trade was of great importance for the Ottomans in the construction of their early empire. Kate Fleet's book examines the trade links that existed between European merchants and their Muslim counterparts from the beginnings of the Ottoman empire in 1300 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. By using previously unexploited Latin and Turkish sources, and by focusing on the trading partnership between the Genoese and the Turks, she demonstrates how this interaction contributed to the economic development of the early Ottoman state and, indeed, to Ottoman territorial expansion. Where the previous literature has emphasised the military prowess of the early Ottoman state and its role as 'the infidel enemy', this book offers a rare insight into its economic aspirations and eventual integration into the economy of the Mediterranean basin. This is a readable, authoritative and innovative study which illuminates our understanding of an obscure period in early Ottoman history.
KATE FLEET is Curator of the Skilliter Centre for Ottoman Studies, Newnham College, Cambridge.
