- Abstract
Radu Dipratu's book, "Regulating Non-Muslim Communities in the Seventeenth-Century Ottoman Empire: Catholics and Capitulations," explores the topic of capitulations in the Ottoman Empire. The author focuses on the ahitnames, or agreements, granted to European states with Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox citizens. The book also delves into how these capitulations regulated Christian pilgrims, clergy, and churches. Dipratu's work contributes to the literature on international political and commercial relations in the Ottoman Empire, with an emphasis on the religious activities of foreigners. The author pays attention to the diversity of nationality and religious commonality among historical actors. The book also examines the tension between the freedom of worship for non-Muslims and the concerns of Islamic jurists and Ottoman bureaucracy regarding the repair and construction of churches. The legal status of Catholics in the Ottoman lands is explored in terms of their religious and political freedoms. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the regulation of non-Muslim communities in the seventeenth-century Ottoman Empire.
