Memoria. Fontes minores ad Historiam Imperii Ottomanici pertinentes

Many smaller autobiographical sources have not been considered by scholars to date due to the fact that they were written in less common languages or because they are privately kept or otherwise difficult to access. To fill this void, the online publication series “Memoria. Fontes minores ad Historiam Imperii Ottomanici pertinentes” was established in 2015. The series is hosted by the Max Weber Foundation at www.perspectivia.net. The volumes are also available online at MENAlib Digital Publications.
