Placing the Ottomans in the Mediterranean World: The Question of Notables and Households
شماره ركورد

Abstract
If there is one quality I associate with Rifa‘at Abou-El-Haj, besides his soft, insistent voice and his formidable knowledge of European history, it is his inclination, always and everywhere, to demand a reason. Never content with standard formulae, Rifa‘at wants to know if there is a good reason why we think what we think. And he does not accept easy answers. I am inclined, then, to think that Rifa‘at might still be demanding a reason why, (despite an historiographic process of integrating the Ottomans into the Mediterranean world, and despite Jane Hathaway and other scholars’ considerable work on Ottoman households) there has not been more movement towards placing the Ottoman household on a par with those of its European counterparts.
