author | Insight Turkey https://www.insightturkey.com/ author EN authorDrawing on contemporary archival and manuscript sources, Marc Baer unfolds the most fascinating story of Sultan Mehmed IV. Although his reign was remarkably long (1648-87), he has almost been forgot- ten or depicted dismissively as weak and foolish. Aiming to retrieve that lost history, the book’s central theme is conversion – of Muslims to “proper” Islamic practices, of Christians and Jews to Islam, and of space. Thus, the reader encounters the Kadızadeli movement that first rose to prominence in the 1650s.https://www.insightturkey.com/author/ursula-wokoeck/honored-by-the-glory-of-islam-conversion-and-conquest-in-ottoman-europehttps://www.insightturkey.com/author/ursula-wokoeck/honored-by-the-glory-of-islam-conversion-and-conquest-in-ottoman-europeSat, 01 Jan 2011 17:02:00 GMT
