Foundation of the Ottoman Empire e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I plead guilty to many footnotes. Much of my text is controversial in character, and tlre subject-matter is so little known that the general reader would hardly be able to form judgements without a constant - but I trust not wearisome - reference to authorities.
