Beitrag zur Genesis des türkischeen Feudalismus, 2d ed. (Berlin, 1972). A
Turkish translation, by Y. Öner, was published in 198?-88: Büyük Bir Devletin

46. Also see Werner's "Panturkismus und einige Tendenzen moderner türkischer
Historiographie," Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft 13(1965):1342-54. In
solidarity with Marxist historians of Balkan socialist republics, Werner's main
objection was to the position that the Ottoman expansion brought all sorts of
benefits to the Balkan peoples.
47. For a more recent defense of his position and of G.D.R. historiography
against "bourgeois" medievalists, see Werner's "Einleitung" (with Matschke) and
"Ökonomische mad soziale Strukturen im 10. und 11. Jahrhundert," in Ideologic
und Gesellschaft im hohen und späten Mittelalter, ed. E. Werner and K.-P.
Matschke (Berlin, 1988).
48. Werner, Geburt, 18. After the Second World War, Köprüü abandoned his
scholarly career and entered political life as one of the founders of the
Democratic Party. In the early 1950s, when the cold war raged strong, he served
as minister of foreign affairs in Turkey's staunchly pro-American government.

54. See, for instance, Michael W. Doyle, Empires (Ithaca and London, 1986):
'These Anatolian Turkish tribesmen were stamped with a strikingly militant
culture (ghazi fanaticism), an Islamic equivalent of the Crusaders," (106), or
Perry Anderson, Lineages of the Absolutist State London, 1979): "ghazi outlook —
a militant, crusading Muslim faith that rejected any accommodation with the
Infidel" (362).
55. I certainly do not wish to imply that no original contributions were made to
the study of the period. In addition to various relevant works on late Byzantine
history, which we cannot attempt to summarize here, some solid new research was
produced on individual principalities, such as the monographs by I. * H.
Uzuncarsili * , H. Akin, Y. Yücel, N. Varlik, and Ç. Uluçay and B. Flemming's
study of Hamidili and Teke. Of great value in illuminating not only the
activities of the other begliks but also the early Ottomans is the impressive
body of studies produced by E. Zachariadou, who combined Muslim, Byzantine, and
