Büyük Osmanlı Tarihi
Büyük Osmanlı Tarihi
History
Hammer's monumental nineteenth-century ten-volume history of the Ottoman Empire, written in German and translated into Turkish. Şengör recommends Hammer as the patient archival historian whose method — long-form, source-grounded, suspicious of polemic — is the model he wants Turkish readers to internalize.

“Must read.”
Hammer's ten-volume Ottoman history is on Şengör's published recommendation list — the archival, German-tradition Ottoman scholarship he holds up as a methodological model.
