The creativity and cultural exchange among the Ottomans is highlighted over a long period. Many scholars used to believe that after the Muslims' golden age in the medieval period, the Ottoman state grew apart from cultural and technical aspects, losing interest in innovation, thus heading towards stagnation and decline. However, this book challenges the widespread Western image of the Ottomans in the 19th and early 20th centuries as being backward and lacking scientific vitality.
