About the Book

English summary: For many centuries, the Ottoman Empire was the leader among the powers of the Old World. Its crowning historical achievement was the establishment of a dynastic State endowed with institutions governed by remarkable laws. But its history was also characterized by the founding of a vast civilization that has left behind numerous testimonies to its influence. The Sultan's Court was steeped in luxury and refinement: bedecked with jewels and shimmering brocades, rugs from Ushak and Gordes, exquisite calligraphy and delicate miniatures...Travelers' tales, and reproductions of artwork by the "Bosporus Painters," underscore the splendor of its mosques and the elegance of its pavilions and fountains, while its miniatures evoke imperial celebrations of yore, featuring such entertainers as fighters, jugglers, and tightrope artists. These colorful images inspired the "Turkish" fad that swept through Europe during its classical and baroque periods, and beyond.It is also common knowledge that the Ottomans seized Constantinople in 1453, thus dismantling the Eastern Roman Empire; that, in the 16th century, Suleiman the Magnificent was an ally of Francis I in his battles against Charles V; that, when Napoleon Bonaparte disembarked in Alexandria in 1798, Egypt was a province of the Ottoman Empire, and that the "Eastern Question," which arose as a result of the Empire's weakness, became the most important political issue of the 19th century.In this guide, the author strives to give the broadest possible range of readers the key information necessary for them to understand, in context, not only the events that marked the classical period of the Ottoman Empire (13th-18th centuries), but also the institutions that played a role in those events, and the daily life of the Ottoman people. French description: Les Ottomans ont longtemps ete accuses de tous les exces. L'image du sultan sanguinaire, vivant dans la debauche de son harem, n'imposant sa domination que par la force des armes et s'appuyant sur un islam intolerant reste dans tous les esprits.Or, leur empire a occupe pendant des siecles la premiere place parmi les puissances du Vieux Monde. Son histoire est d'abord celle de la construction d'un Etat, dote d'une administration et de lois remarquables. C'est aussi celle d'une grande civilisation qui a laisse de nombreux temoignages. La Cour du sultan presente luxe et raffinement: joyaux et brocards chatoyants, tapis d'Uchak et de Gordes, magnifiques calligraphies et miniatures delicates... Les recits des voyageurs et les reproductions des "peintres du Bosphore" soulignent la splendeur des mosquees, l'elegance des pavillons et des fontaines, tandis que les miniatures evoquent les fetes imperiales animees par des lutteurs, des jongleurs ou des funambules. Ces images colorees sont a l'origine d'un engouement certain pour les "turqueries" dans l'Europe classique ou baroque et au dela.On sait aussi generalement qu'en 1453, les Ottomans prirent Constantinople, mettant ainsi fin a l'Empire Romain d'Orient qu'au XVIe siecle, Soliman le magnifique fut l'allie de Francois 1er face a Charles Quint que lorsque Bonaparte debarqua a Alexandrie en 1798, L'Egypte etait une province de l'Empire et que la "question d'Orient", nee de la faiblesse de celui-ci fut le sujet politique majeur du XIXe siecle.Des tragedies de Racine, nous connaissons Bajazet de Moliere le grand Mamamouchi du Bourgeois gentilhomme de Mozart, l'Enlevement au serail d'Ingres le Bain turc de Victor Hugo les poemes des Orientales toutes figures renvoyant davantage a l'imaginaire occidental qu'a la realite historique et sociale.Ce guide veut donner au public le plus large les cles necessaires pour situer les evenements qui se sont deroules dans l'Empire ottoman classique (XIIIe -XVIIIe) mais aussi pour comprendre les institutions qui les sous-tendaient et apprehender la vie quotidienne de ses habitants.
