Conquering Eastern Anatolia, Syria, and Egypt, Selim promoted a politicized Sunni Ottoman* identity against the Shiite Safavids of Iran, thus shaping the early modern Middle East. Analyzing a wide array of sources in Ottoman-Turkish, Persian, and Arabic, H. Erdem Cipa offers a fascinating revisionist reading of Selim's rise to power and the subsequent reworking and mythologizing of his persona in 16th- and 17th-century Ottoman historiography. In death, Selim continued to serve the empire, becoming represented in ways that reinforced an idealized image of Muslim sovereignty in the early modern Eurasian world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695787835680,"sku":"NEW0253024234","price":83.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81UsigaUuNL.jpg?v=1779381353","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-making-of-selim-succession-legitimacy-and-memory-in-the-early-modern-ottoman-world-0253024234","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
