The study of Ottoman influences on Muslim Southeast Asia has long been a dauntingly specialized field. In light of its linguistic, archival, and historiographic complexity, the field is likely to remain specialized and dauntingly multidisciplinary for some time to come. But it is precisely this complexity that makes this book's synthesis and depth such a welcome achievement, and a work important for all scholars intrigued by the history of Ottoman connections to Muslim Southeast Asia.
