This work continues his earlier studies, albeit on a wider screen. On the basis of the testimony of the surviving 15th century tax registers, it examines the manner in which the region of present-day northern Greece (and by extension the Balkans as a whole) was incorporated into the Ottoman polity in the course of the 14th and 15th century. It then weighs the resulting profile against the silent testimony of the Ottoman architectural remains in the region, in an attempt to determine the actual steps of conquest, settlement and infrastructural development.
Given the fact that heretofore much of our knowledge of early Ottoman history has been based on the later Ottoman chronicle tradition, the tone of this work is revisionist, that is, it challenges much of the conventional wisdom. Its arguments are illustrated by a large body of pictures (likewise taken by the author) , depicting the physical remains of the half-millennium long Ottoman presence in the region. As such, it represents a unique example of the manner in which by a careful utilization of architectural and archeological remains, together with the earliest surviving bureaucratic records, supplemented by the testimony of travelers, it is possible to refine our understanding of early Ottoman history.
