Brill has published a second,
revised edition of “Ottoman Law of War and Peace”.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Making use of legal and
historical sources, Viorel Panaite analyzes the status of tribute-payers from
the north of the Danube with reference to Ottoman law of peace and war. He
deals with the impact of Ottoman holy war and the way conquest in Southeast
Europe took place; the role of temporary covenants, imperial diplomas and
customary norms in outlining the rights and duties of the tributary princes;
the power relations between the Ottoman Empire and the tributary-protected
principalities of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. He also focuses on the
legal and political methods applied to extend the pax ottomanica system in the
area, rather than on the elements that set these territories apart from the
rest of the Ottoman Empire.
