  1. The latest episode of "Mehmed: The Conqueror" focuses on the conquest of Bosnia. It will depict the Ottoman Empire's advances in the Balkans and critical military maneuvers. #OttomanHistory #Balkans

  2. How old were women and men at first marriage in late Ottoman Palestine – and how large was the spousal age gap?

    Sarah and Johann Buessow analysed Ottoman marriage registers from Gaza and Jerusalem. Their findings: child marriage was widespread but varied by region. Marriage age reflects not only education and military service — but also deep-rooted gender inequalities 👇

    Reading a #Greek text of the early #Ottoman period, I saw Καραμανλῆδες.

    The first part of the word is Karamanlı, #Turkish for "of Karaman." The ending is the Greek third declension nominative plural for a dental stem. (Why? I don't know.)

    On the next page I see Ὀτμανλίδες, the same form for "Ottomans."
