Summary

The Conclusion offers observations about what the study’s main findings reveal about Ming rulership and the Ming throne’s place in east Eurasia. It argues that the Ming throne actively sought allies in Eurasia through political patronage, economic support, and a rhetoric that highlights the ties of good faith and loyalty between the emperor and Mongol nobles at home and abroad. The Conclusion also briefly critiques New Qing History exceptionalism, suggesting that the Ming throne’s engagement in Eurasia is one chapter in a far longer story of China’s deep ties to neighboring polities.

Ottoman Politics through British Eyes: Paul Rycaut's "The Present State of the Ottoman Empire"

Journal of World History

Vol. 5, No. 1 (Spring, 1994)

Abstract

Like other travel books of its period, Paul Rycaut's "The Present State of the Ottoman Empire" (published in 1665) is often employed by historians as an easy point of entry into an exotic land. But taking it literally gives a false picture of the Ottoman Empire. Rycaut actually distorted the image of the Ottomans to criticize his own society, Restoration England. A careful reading of Rycaut's book can offer a truer picture of the Ottoman Empire. Comparison of the two societies suggests that the Ottoman Empire and Restoration England were not quite as different as is usually thought.
