The editor who prepared this volume, have given a considerable thought to this, and in the end, decided that personality of Prof. Dr. Nejat Goyunc, to whom this book is devoted, could not have been better expressed in any other term than Pax-Ottomana. Prof. Goyunc's hospitality, friendship, and personality was beyond imagination, and was open to all scholars, regardless of race, religion and nationality. As many other scholars, the editor also personally met him in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister, and when ever he needed his help in deciphering any Ottoman term. He listened to him with admirable patience, and answered with the same gratitude. He was never exhausted by the endless questions of historians, and was never indifferent to anybody or any question, scholarly or simple. When the editor first met him in 1987 in the Archive he had the impression that Prof. Goyunc was there not only to do his own research or work, but also for all other scholars who may need his deep knowledge of history, historiography and diplomatic. He gave the impression that he helped scholars in order to gain their friendship. Most of us, with no doubt, had the temptation to ask him some questions in order to have an opportunity to listen to his scholarly explanations even to our simple questions, or to have his compliments as a real gentlemen in times of tiredness. The more question you ask the more friendly he would become with you, and in the end one would find himself at his superb balcony overlooking the Bosphorus and Üsküdar and enjoying his tea service. The editor, as most of you, went through the same process to enjoy his hospitality, friendship and conversation. Needless to say, he was not only a good friend, but also an eminent historian. His friendship with scholars from among different nations made him a trusted, impartial and objective historian. As he was a friend of historians, he was also friend of history. His personality was merged with the Sprit history so for him the Ottoman Empire did not conquer the territories, but the heart of the people. He was of the opinion that the Ottomans ruled vast territories in order to bring justice, peace, security and stability, and thus aimed at creating Pax- Ottomana. In his view, history should not be a tool for nationalism and for sowing seeds of enmity between people or nations. This is what he aimed at his books and writings. In the opinion of the editor, his approach to history was of exemplary. He read texts to find social and cultural contacts, neighbourly relations, and so on, but never hostility. One can say, without a shadow of doubt, that it was not his style to study wars and massacres, and therefore while everyone was dealing with political history, wars and hostilities between the nations in the cold war period, he dug out the archives to find the documents to bring forward the social and economic contacts between the people. He was alone, perhaps, when he completed his book on Mardin Sancagi, but he knew that he would set an example in future, and this he did. He never changed his stand and style in accordance with changing circumstances. For instance, at the height of the Armenian terror against Turkish diplomats in Europe and the United States of America, he wrote a book entitled Osmanli Idaresinde Ermeniler (Armenians Under the Ottoman Administration) (Istanbul, 1983) and looked at the Armenian question from a very different angle. In that book he emphasized the existence of friendly relations, cultural contacts and other peaceful relations between the Armenians and the Turks in the Ottoman Empire. This was exactly his style and way of look at history. He always studied history to develop mutual relations and understanding between the historians in Turkey and abroad. Journal of Ottoman Studies, which he had edited from 1981 until his death, has served to this end. It was the first and only journal in Turkey, to which students of the Ottoman Studies from Turkey and abroad, submitted contributions, equally respected and referred. *** Kemal Cicek Ankara 2001 ****** HOW TO ORDER THIS BOOK...
