The volume epitomizes the growing scholarly interest in historicizing Islamic discourses and practices of the post-classical era, which has heretofore been styled as a period of decline, reflecting critically on the concepts of ‘tradition’, ‘orthodoxy’ and ‘orthopraxy’ as they were conceived and debated in the context of building and maintaining the longest-lasting Muslim-ruled empire.

Particularly impressive is how the essays each in different ways address the notorious (or celebrated) Ottoman institutionalization of tradition, belief, ritual, and interpretation as itself a nuanced engagement with ongoing local and global discourses, thereby drastically reconfiguring existing analyses of Ottoman bureaucracy writ large. This lively collection is a welcome intervention into one of the more exciting emergent scholarly conversations today... Summing Up: Highly recommended.\" - R. A.
