"The 1570s marked the beginning of an age of pervasive piracy in the Mediterranean
that persisted into the eighteenth century. Nowhere was more inviting to pirates than
the Ottoman-dominated eastern Mediterranean. In this bustling maritime ecosystem,
weak imperial defenses and permissive politics made piracy possible, while robust
trade made it profitable. By 1700, the limits of the Ottoman Mediterranean were defined
not by Ottoman territorial sovereignty or naval supremacy, but by the reach of imperial
law, which had been indelibly shaped by the challenge of piracy. [This book examines]
Mediterranean piracy from the Ottoman perspective, focusing on the administrators
and diplomats, jurists and victims who had to contend most with maritime violence.
Pirates churned up a sea of paper in their wake: letters, petitions, court documents,
legal opinions, ambassadorial reports, travel accounts, captivity narratives, and
vast numbers of decrees attest to their impact on lives and livelihoods. [The author]
plumbs the depths of these uncharted, frequently uncatalogued waters, revealing how
piracy shaped both the Ottoman legal space and the contours of the Mediterranean world."
