Abstract
This book explores the process of conversion to Islam and how it was related to various aspects of gradual confessional and political polarization in the Ottoman Empire. Drawing on texts from the Lands of Rum produced in the period between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, it examines whether and to what extent the concept of confessionalization, with the accompanying concept of “social disciplining,” is relevant to developments in early modern Islamdom. The book focuses on Rumeli, where conversion emerged as an important phenomenon in the fourteenth century with the appearance of the Ottomans. In order to elucidate the nature of early modern Ottoman history and the phenomenon of conversion, it analyzes the ongoing dialogue of Ottoman cultural discourse with the Mediterranean heritage of the Lands of Rum. It also discusses how the notion of conversion is used in many Ottoman sources authored by born Muslims and converts to Islam to offer a vision of what it meant to be a good Muslim during the period.
