The Ottomans ruled over a large non-Muslim population and conversion to Islam was a contentious subject for all communities, especially Muslims themselves. Ottoman Muslim and Christian authors sought to define the boundaries and membership of their communities while promoting their own religious and political agendas. Tijana Krsti? argues that the production and circulation of narratives about conversion to Islam was central to the articulation of Ottoman imperial identity and Sunni Muslim "orthodoxy" in the long 16th century. Placing the evolution of Ottoman attitudes toward conversion and converts in the broader context of Mediterranean-wide religious trends and the Ottoman rivalry with the Habsburgs and Safavids, Contested Conversions to Islam draws on a variety of sources, including first-person conversion narratives and Orthodox Christian neomartyologies, to reveal the interplay of individual, (inter)communal, local, and imperial initiatives that influenced the process of conversion. 606 $aMuslim converts from Christianity$zTurkey$xHistory 606 $aConversion$xIslam 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xIslam 606 $aIslam and state$zTurkey$xHistory 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMuslim converts from Christianity$xHistory. 615 0$aConversion$xIslam. 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xIslam. 615 0$aIslam and state$xHistory. 676 $a297.5/740956 686 $aNN 4200$qBVB$2rvk 700 $aKrstic?$b Tijana$01033788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461658303321 996 $aContested conversions to Islam$92452516 997 $aUNINA
