Summary/Abstract: Review of: Sowerby, Tracey Amanda – Markiewicz, Christopher (ed.). Diplomatic Cultures at the Ottoman Court C. 1500-1630. New York: Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2021, 286 Page, ISBN: 9781000391862. This editorial book takes Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, as its center and examines how different diplomatic cultures interacted with one another in the period between c. 1500-1630. It explores the diplomatic relations of both ad hoc embassies to Istanbul and resident ambassadors from various states or polities from Europe, Asia, and Africa with the Ottoman authorities. This examination makes significant contributions to the history of early modern diplomacy in general and Ottoman diplomacy in particular, rendering the book a reference source for diplomatic history.
