At the same time, they report numerous disputes with Ottoman officials over jurisdiction (\"\u003ci\u003eavania\u003c\/i\u003es\"), which seems to contradict this claim, the discrepancy being considered proof of the capriciousness of the Ottoman legal system. Modern studies of Ottoman-European relations in this period have tended uncritically to accept this interpretation, which is challenged in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaurits H. van den Boogert\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D. (Leiden, 2001) is the (co-)editor of four volumes on Ottoman-European relations, including \u003ci\u003eThe Ottoman Capitulations: Text and Context \u003c\/i\u003e(Rome, 2003, with Kate Fleet) and \u003ci\u003eFriends and Rivals in the East\u003c\/i\u003e (Brill, 2000, with Alastair Hamilton and Alexander de Groot).
