    Dervishes and Islam in Bosnia explores the role of Sufi orders in the formation of Muslim society in Bosnia between the 15th-16th centuries under Ottoman rule. Using primary sources, the author shows that Sufi traditions and dervish orders were central to the religious, cultural, social, economic, and political development of Bosnian Muslim society during this period of widespread conversion to Islam. The book challenges some established views about Ottoman guilds and the Sufi code of honor known as futuwwa. It is intended for students and scholars of early modern Ottoman history, conversion to Islam, dervish orders and Sufism, as well as those interested in Balkan history.

    In Dervishes and Islam in Bosnia, Ines Aeri-Todd explores the involvement of Sufi
    orders in the formation of Muslim society in the first two centuries of Ottoman rule in
    Bosnia (15th - 16th centuries C.E.). Using a wide range of primary sources, Aeri-Todd
    shows that Sufi traditions and the activities of dervish orders were at the heart of the
    religious, cultural, socio-economic and political dynamics in Bosnia in the period which
    witnessed the emergence of Bosnian Muslim society and the most intensive phase of
    conversions of the Bosnian population to Islam. In the process, she also challenges some
    of the established views regarding Ottoman guilds and the subject of futuwwa (Sufi code
    of honour).
