Summary

"This volume weaves together nine articles on the Ottoman-Jewish Sabbatean movement and the Dönmes in early modern and contemporary times. The articles are linked by three common themes: How did the Dönmes survive their enigmatic identity among the Jews, Christians and Muslims throughout the centuries? How did the outside world perceive and treat them? And, how did the dialectical relationship between the Dönmes and the Others transform their identity over time?"--Page 4 of cover.
