Professor of Middle East History Nabil Al-Tikriti’s article entitled “Prince with Daddy Issues Seeks Sisterly Support: Two Ego Documents Penned by Şehzade Korkud (d. 1513),”<\/a> was recently published by The Journal of Ottoman Studies \/ Osmanlı Araştırmaları<\/em> <\/a>[Issue LXIV (Winter 2024), pp. 71-98]. This journal issue was a double-blind, peer-reviewed scholarly publication which originated with the 2022 “Ottoman Ego Documents\/Ben-Anlatıları” Symposium<\/a> that Al-Tikriti attended (with UMW faculty travel support) in Istanbul, Turkey.<\/p>

The article’s abstract: “Following a brief analysis of self-narrative writing among Ottoman royals towards the turn of the sixteenth century, this article argues for consideration of “collective biography” as a methodological approach before presenting two “ego-documents” by one of those royals. Şehzade Korkud (d. 1513), who left behind several small samples of self-narrative, also wrote two clear examples of ego-documents, a treatise to his father Bayezid II (d. 1512) defending his decision to go on the ḥajj<\/em>, and a fearful letter to his sister Sofu Fatma (fl. 1512) seeking political guidance in the midst of a politically tense succession struggle. The treatise, Wasīlat al-aḥbāb<\/em>, is summarized and analyzed here, while the letter is transliterated and translated in full.” Read the article.<\/a><\/p>
