  4. İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı’s infl uential 1 950s account of Ottoman history, ar-
    ranged chronologically and divided into sultanic reigns, skipped from a section on




Ibrahim and the problems that attended his reign to “The Situation of the State be-
tween 1 648 and 1 656,” followed two sections later by “The Period of the Köprülüs.”


Uzunçarşılı, Osmanlı Tarihi 3 ( 1 ). This framework is followed in the recent work of
Turkish scholars such as Feredun Emecen, who includes the period in “The Solu-


tion Sought After for Military Success: The Köprülüs,” and in the work of American
and western European historians. These include Norman Itzkowitz, who chose “The


Köprülü Era”; Hans Kissling, who wrote an article entitled “Die Köprülü Restauration”;
Shaw, who labels a section less than ten pages long concerning the entire epoch of Me-


hmed IV in his Ottoman history as “The Köprülü Years, 1 656–83”; and, most recently,
Suraiya Faroqhi’s “Köprülü Restoration” and Caroline Finkel’s “Rule of the Grandees.”
