Ottoman Rule in Damascus, 1708-1758

Ottoman Rule in Damascus, 1708-1758 On the basis of new evidence from the Ottoman archives in Istanbul, Karl Barbir challenges the current interpretation of Ottoman rule in Damascus during the eighteenth century. He argues that the prevailing themes of decline and stagnation--usually applied to the entire century--in fact apply only to the latter half of the century. This discovery, Autor: Karl K.
