As a result of his pathbreaking books and articles, the field is experiencing a turn within itself as well as recasting its relationship with world history. This volume acts as a tribute to Kafadar and the important interdisciplinary work he has both done and inspired in the field. In line with the intellectual pluralism that Kafadar has cultivated over his career, readers will find a number of articles engaging with a wide range of questions, approaches, perspectives, and sources across Ottoman history. Kafadar's students and friends, individually or in pairs, researched and crafted contributions to this volume with a variety of conceptual premises, theoretical approaches, and interpretive tools to celebrate his thirty years of teaching, research, and mentorship, in addition to the overwhelming generosity of his intellectual and personal engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eRachel Goshgarian, Ilham Khuri-Makdisi, and Ali Yaycioğlu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCemal Kafadar, A Çelebi for Our Times\u003cbr\u003eAhmet Karamustafa  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCemal Kafadar’s Teaching and Scholarship, 1981-2021\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Texts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. \tNarrating Ottoman Politics in the Fifteenth Century: Perspectives from Some Byzantine and Ottoman Histories.\u003cbr\u003eAslihan Akişik-Karakullukçu and Dimitri Kastritsis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.\tNişancı Mehmed Paşa and His History of the Ottoman House\u003cbr\u003eHimmet Taşkömür and Hüseyin Yilmaz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3. \tBook-Picking in a Conquered Citadel\u003cbr\u003eSerpil Bağci and Zeynep Yürekli\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4. \tA Sufi Mirror: Shaykh Alwan al-Hamawi’s (d. 1530) Advice for the Ottoman Ruler\u003cbr\u003eTimothy J.
