The Risâle contains a rare hybrid Polish-Lithuanian Muslim/Ottoman courtly narrative addressing the problem of conflict between fellow-Muslims, Polish-Lithuanian Muslims as a branch of the greater Islamic ecumene, the legal status and social hierarchies of Muslims in an emerging early modern republic, and the role of the Ottoman Sultan as facilitator of the hajjand as the  millenarian world-conqueror vis-à-vis Muslims living outside of the Islamic world.

THEWILDFIELD.COM offers podcasts exploring new research on the shared borderlands of Europe and Asia. Areas of study include the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Pontic Steppe, East Central Europe, and Central Asia, broadly defined.

This intersection of interests provided ample opportunity for the dynamic participation of a large Polish Émigré community in Ottoman affairs. After the tremendous efforts of both parties during the Crimean War, which had little positive outcome for either the Ottoman Empire or the thousands of Poles that fought in allied armies, we know little about what became of Polonia Ottomanica – or the Polish community in the Ottoman Empire. Join Paulina Dominik, a graduate of Oxford University and a fellow at the German Orient Institute in Istanbul, to discuss this lacuna, which persists within both Polish and Ottoman historiographies, and, in a broader sense the History of Turkish/European relations.  Michael Połczyński is a Doctoral candidate studying early modern Ottoman and European history at Georgetown University (see academia.edu) Paulina Dominik is a graduate of Oxford University and a fellow at the German Orient-Institut in Istanbul (see academia.edu)

Ottoman imperial space was not always tied to permanent structures. For centuries tents functioned as mobile palaces, providing domestic space and ceremonial stage settings reinforcing the power of the Padishah. Considering the material remains of fabric imperial architecture opens new avenues for exploring and understanding Ottoman visual culture and architectural history. Beyond the Empire, Ottoman tents changed hands as war booty and spolia during conflicts with neighboring polities, which resulted in a rich afterlife for many of these objects. Join Ashley Dimmig in the Wild Field in her exploration of Ottoman tents. Ashley Dimmig is a Doctoral student at the University of Michigan in the History of Art Department.

This podcast is reblogged from our friends at Ottoman History Podcast (Ep. #146, 19 February 2014) Poland is not always remembered among the great imperial rivals of the Ottoman Empire such as Safavid Iran, the Habsburgs, and Muscovy within discussions of early modern European history. Yet, the longstanding and continuous interactions between the Polish and Ottoman worlds comprise an important component of the story of the European state system and its transformation. In this podcast, Michael Polczynski and Paulina Dominik offer an introduction to Ottoman-Polish relations and tell the stories of the first and last Polish embassies to the Ottoman Empire.
