Büyük Osmanlı Tarihi

Büyük Osmanlı Tarihi

Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall

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.
