Many people have contributed to the writing of this book. I am grateful to my late advisor, Donald Quataert, for his enthusiasm for this project and his willingness to share his expertise in Ottoman history; to Rifa’at Ali Abou-El-Haj for his insightful and valuable input along the way; and to Jean Quataert, Heather Dehaan, and Thomas Dublin for their guidance during the formative stage of this project. Several institutions provided financial support at different stages of this study. My research in London was funded by the College of Social Sciences and Humanities at Koç University. The Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED), where I had the great fortune to be a fellow in 2007–2008, provided a very welcoming and intellectually vibrant academic home for me. I would like to extend my gratitude to the staff and librarians of the various archives, libraries, and museums that facilitated this project: the Presidential Ottoman Archives (Istanbul), the National Archives (London), Istanbul Atatürk Library, Istanbul Beyazıt Library, Centre for Islamic Studies in Istanbul, Turkish Grand National Assembly Library (Ankara), Glenn G.
