I am looking for some information about the wife of Emperor Soleiman the Magnificent from the Ottoman Empire. Her name was Roxalana or Hürrem Haseki Sultan. I am looking for academic research, mostly. Thanks.
I have checked the library catalog and we have a few books that might help. Entering the specific name came up with no results but with the more general term of sultan I found one on social life and customs. Hopefully it will mention some of the more well known sultans and wives. Try the link below:
Unfortunately the spellings of names are not standard and you have to try variations. Also try the more general term ottoman empire. In the library catalog once you find a book and click the title to see complete information, scroll down to view the subject lines. Click on any link that seems promising.
I will send another email with suggestions for academic journal article databases. Please contact me if you would like to set up an appointment for more in-depth research help. It is usually better to explain this kind of research in person.
