They deal with this period primarily in Greece and to a lesser extent in Asia Minor and the Balkans. Ottoman Studies in Greece acquired substance in the decades 1980-2000 and include first the establishment of the relevant undergraduate and postgraduate courses or seminars that are organized in universities and scientific foundations, and second the historical knowledge produced by Ottoman specialists as well as historians. It is difficult to speak about trends or directions when the historiographic output still derives from an extremely small group of specialists. The list of subjects which have occupied Ottoman Studies in these twenty years includes: populations and economy of Greek regions on the basis ofsource material from Ottoman registers, topography and history of towns, publication oflegislation on fiscal issues, the status of the Church and the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the context of the new society shaped by the Conquest, the history of monasteries and convents, the study of Greek communities. The subjects of the international meetings organized by the Turkish Studies Programme ofthe University ofCrete were also varied. Concurrently, some classic historiographic works were translated, translations of Ottoman chronicles with commentary were published, etc. The field of Ottoman Studies to which we have referred had made the transcendence in the historiographic data ofthe period by studying Hellenism in the framework of the Ottoman Empire. Furthermore, the fields ofModern Greek historiography were widened with the appearance and the treatment ofOttoman documentary sources that were until recently unknown or inaccessible. Moreover, the new subjects and the new problems that arose and arise from the dialogue with an international bibliography —we should not forget the international character of Ottoman Studies— in which Greek scholarship is of necessity engaged, are gradually revising the previous historiographic view of the Ottoman period.
