Reviews for The Making of Selim: Succession, Legitimacy, and Memory in the Early Modern Ottoman World
H. Erdem Cipa's monograph provides a timely investigation of the reign of Sultan Selim I and its subsequent commemoration in Ottoman historiography, not least because this particular ruler remains an important figure in the still ongoing re-evaluation of Ottoman history in Turkey.
