Wilkins (Wake Forest U.), through extensive research of the law archives for Aleppo, Syria, has quantified the specific ways life changed in the city from 1640-1700 as Ottoman soldiers became an increasingly persistent part of society. He accomplishes this through examining the records of the guilds, residential quarters, and the military garrison, demonstrating how the soldiers transformed over time into a corrupt and corrosive entity no longer controlled by Istanbul and how, simultaneously, the civilian population changed to accommodate their presence. Issues of taxation and developing notions of leadership are central to the study. Defining in concrete terms the impact of Ottoman imperial warfare at the local level, this study will be of interest to students and scholars of Ottoman history.
