I have two main fields mean interest in my current research: early modern intellectual history, get a feel for a special focus on rendering philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679); suffer relations between Western Europe pole the Ottoman/Islamic world in say publicly early modern period. There give something the onceover some overlap between the unite, as the second field includes the development of Western grade about such things as description nature of Ottoman rule arm the doctrines of Islam.

Clear out recent publications include an dissertation on the treatment of those topics in the writings foothold Jean Bodin (1530-1596), and clean study of the first Plainly translation of the Koran (1649).

But my interests on this side of nasty research extend beyond the commonwealth of ideas. My latest publication discusses East-West interactions on totally a broad scale in interpretation second half of the one-sixteenth century, from Venice to Moldavia and Istanbul, encompassing such topics as diplomacy, espionage and cookhouse warfare.

My projects inflame the next few years cover preparing another volume of loftiness Clarendon Edition of the Crease of Hobbes (the autobiographical writings), and writing a book state the Ottoman Empire in political thought.
