“…Finally, the further back we go in someone's life, the less information we have about the individual. 31 Once again, this is the effect of sources: documents mention employees only from the moment they are registered in the payroll records or after they become a department head. In their memoirs, individuals hardly dwell on the story of their childhood.…”

I wanted to break up the narration, not to be a wise guy, a show guy, but to make the film dramatically better that way. . . . A novelist would think nothing about starting in the middle. And if characters in a novel go back and tell past things, it's not a flashback, it's just telling a story. I think movies should benefit from the novel's freedoms. — Quentin Tarantino1 I wrote a prosopography twenty years ago. I published a biography two years ago. In the first case, I offered the collective biography of 282 servants of the late Ottoman period (1839–1909).2 In the second case, I presented the monograph of a grand vizier from the second half of the 18th century, Halil Hamid Pasha (1736–85).3 In the former, I delivered an academic work (stemming from a PhD dissertation) focused on the study of the careers of central and territorial administrators. In the latter, I recounted the rise and fall of the head of the Sublime Porte. A priori, these two books had nothing in common, except that they dealt with pashas. If I mention them together here, it is not to describe the personal evolution of my research. It is to shed some light on an observation that is regularly made, that is, of the inadequacies of the biographical genre in Ottoman history.4 It is to reflect on how to remedy this situation.

“…In this context, the capture of Rhodes in 1522, for instance, held critical significance for the security of trade and pilgrimage routes traversing the Ottoman Empire. 77 During Süleyman I's reign, Najaf and Karbala, the two holiest cities of Shiite Islam, fell under Ottoman control, 78 and the Bedouin emir overseeing Basra, a vital trade center, submitted to Ottoman rule. By the end of the 1530s, the Porte had predominantly controlled the Afro-Eurasian trade route, while the pilgrimage centers of the Abrahamic religions were under its jurisdiction.…”

This article posits that the Ottoman international system was built on three pillars: power projection, interconnectedness, and autonomy of frontier polities. While its military power projection dwarfed its great power rivals, cultural and organizational capacities of the Ottoman Empire extended its influence to areas out of its military reach. Occupying a central position in trade, pilgrimage, and diplomacy during the early modern period, the Ottoman Empire fostered connections throughout the wider Afro-Eurasian world. The flexible and almost independent status of the peripheral polities not only increased the survival capacity of the empire but also played a central role in the functioning of the Ottoman international system. Rather than presenting either a material or ideational perspective, the present study adopts a via-media approach, integrating both perspectives to elucidate the Ottoman international system, which persisted for nearly three centuries from the early 16th century to the late 18th century. Analyzing such a broad historical phenomenon, this article aims to enrich and contribute to the increasingly popularized historical and non-Western IR subfields. Additionally, it holds potential to deepen our comprehension of heterogeneous international systems and their modus operandi.

He was a stout-hearted, brave and just man who later became the governor of Rumelia and eventually assumed vizierial position, functioning as muhafiz (i.e., governor) in Egypt and later, being urged by his wife, he returned to Diwan.…”

Some Bosnian Muslims known as Boshniaks travelled to Arabian countries and were affected by Islamic civilization. One of them is Muhammad Hancic, a well-known writer and traveller in Bosnia and I. Boshniaks in Egypt during the Ottoman AgeThe researchers are of the view that the first contacts between Arabs and Slavs occurred in North Africa, primarily Egypt and also through Andalusia. The Slavs figured prominently in the structure of Ottoman authorities and organs of government. It reached such an extent that some authors wrote numerous commendations honouring the Slavs, meaning Saqalibs, which was the name Arabs used when referring to Slavs. To be fair, the Arabs used this term to refer to Slavs, Gauls and Romans-the European peoples mostly. Historical sources dating from the Ottoman Age abound with names of Boshniaks who attained vizierial or some even higher dignitary position, indicating here were many Boshniaks amongst distinguished scholars and learned men.Čoban Mustafa Pasha [1] was one of the first Boshniaks who reached Egypt in 1521, four years following the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. He was a stout-hearted, brave and just man who later became the governor of Rumelia and eventually assumed vizierial position, functioning as muhafiz (i.e., governor) in Egypt and later, being urged by his wife, he returned to Diwan. He died in 1528 and was buried in Gebze, in front of the mosque, his pious endowment.Muhammad Hancic was born in Sarajevo, in 1906. He graduated from primary school and madrasah in his native town. Following his completion of schooling in madrasah in 1926, he went to Egypt and enrolled alAzhar University. He obtained a university degree in 1931. Following his graduation he performed hajj and then returned to his homeland.In 1932, after completing military service, he began a career in the fields of culture and education in the most important Boshniak educational and cultural institutions of the period -Gazi Khusrow Bey's Madrasah and Gazi Khusrow Bey's Library and later at the Bey's Madrasah as a lecturer. He also established cooperation with a number of magazines such as al-Hidayah, Novi Behar and the Islamic Community Gazette, and for several years he was an editor for al-Hidayah. He was a prolific translator and translated many books from Arabic to Bosnian. He also translated to Arabic many of his own texts written in Bosnian. II. Egypt in Early 20 th Century in the Eyes of Bosnian TravellerMuhammad Hancic demonstrated a particular affection towards the Islamic world, in other words, Arabic countries. This is borne out by the fact that he transcribed the literary works of Abdurrahim ibn bu Bakr ibn Ibrahim Iraqi, and Mahajjah al-Qurb min Muhabbah al-Arab. He brought this book from Egypt. The book was published in Cairo in 1346, and before that in Bombay in 1303 Hijrah era. The book was logged in the catalogue of Gazi Khusrow Bey's Library under the number R-662. Another book is also logged in this catalogue under the title: Kitab Yasfu fihi Rihlati ila Misr, written by Muhammad Ha...
