Writing History in Ottoman Europe (Fifteenth â Eighteenth Centuries)
Series: - The Ottoman Empire and its Heritage, Volume: 82
The various forms of history writing of Early Modern Ottoman Europe were never the object of a comprehensive or comparative approach. The aim of the present volume is to fill in this major gap. Leading specialists in the field, many of them being Brill authors, have joined forces in an attempt to reflect the diversity of history writing in the Ottoman Empire, in its European part.

His latest monograph is La boutique de Théophile: Les relations du patriarche de Constantinople Kyrillos Loukaris (1570â1638) avec la Réforme (Paris, 2019).
Konrad Petrovszky, Ph.D. (2013), is group leader at the Balkan Studies Research Unit of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
