Based on newly discovered Ottoman and Jewish sources and using a legal lens on Levantine practices, The 1840 Rhodes Blood Libel argues that the acquittal of Rhodian Jews following a ritual murder charge is only adequately understood in the context of the Tanzimat and the Sublime Porte's foreign relations, and in the context of a shared Ottoman and Jewish history.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
