#004: Bringing the Social into the Intellectual – Orthodox Historiography in the Ottoman Balkans

Especially when it comes to intellectual history, the Ottoman period in Southeastern Europe has been subject to much dispute and biased interpretations. Whereas some have considered it a period of cultural stagnation and decline, others have upheld it to be an age of revived blossoming of Orthodox culture within a widely permissive imperial framework. Beyond these well-entrenched views and the sensitivities associated with them, a wide array of questions remains yet to be answered. Exploring the field of Orthodox historiography in the 16th and 17th centuries, Konrad Petrovszky suggests a new approach to this issue by arguing that a critical appraisal of early modern history writing has to take into account not only the multilingual framework but also the social and communicative conditions of knowledge production.
