Dreams and Lives in Ottoman Istanbul: A Seventeenth-Century Biographers Perspective explores biography writing and dream narratives in seventeenth-century Istanbul. It focuses on the prominent biographer `A?ai (d. 1637) and with his help shows how learned circles narrated dreams to assess their position in the Ottoman enterprise. This book demonstrates that dreams provided biographers not only with a means to form learned communities in a politically fragile landscape but also with a medium to debate the correct career paths and social networks in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Istanbul.
