520 "A sweeping examination of Ottoman plague treatise writers
from the Black Death until 1923. Were you aware that many
of the greatest and most colourful Ottoman statesmen and
literary figures from the 15th to the early 20th century
considered plague as a grave threat to their empire? Did
you know that many Ottomans applauded the establishment of
a quarantine against the disease in 1838 as a tool to
resist British and French political and commercial
penetration? Or that later Ottoman sanitation efforts to
prevent urban outbreaks would help engender the Arab
revolt against the empire in 1916? This book explores
these facts in an engaging study of Ottoman plague
treatise writers throughout their almost 600-year struggle
with this epidemic disease. And it deals with the
political, economic and social consequences of the methods
they used to combat it. Key Features: Studies the
premodern ways in which plague was viewed by Ottoman
Islamic thinkers ; Traces the eventual Ottoman acceptance
of quarantines and other modern medical reforms ; Analyses
international debates over plagues and quarantines as a
struggle about colonialism and national sovereignty"--
