Abstract

132 In that respect, the large number of documents dealing with the French Levantine trade in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the analyses focusing on the troubled areas in the em- pire at various times, and the long memoranda on the religious minorities enjoying French pro- tection within the Ottoman state, should prove to be valuable materials for further study. Volume 107, in particular, is exclusively devoted to the special rights, preferential treatment, and general status of these protected religious groups. Religious affairs, in general, and the ac- tivities of the Lazarists, the Franciscan, and Carmelite orders in particular, receive considerable attention in this collection. As could be expected, a great number of the documents are also devoted to events of the second half of the nineteenth century when developments in both the Balkans and the Middle East held the attention of the Great Powers. The long memoranda dealing with Bosnia, Herze- govina, Montenegro, Eastern Rumelia, the Cretan problem, Syria and Lebanon attest to this fact. On the other hand, comparatively less material can be found on Egypt, and very little on the Greek War of Independence despite the fact that particularly in the post-1820 period, they both played a significant role in France's eastern policy. The value of this excellent volume is undoubtedly enhanced by the three carefully prepared and useful appendices containing the names of Sultans, French Foreign Ministers and Ambassa- dors to the Porte from the 1500's to the end of the nineteenth century.
