In The Origins of the Ottoman Empire, Koprulu criticized as unscientific the prevailing Western explanations of the origins of the Ottoman Empire. Leiser s translation from the Turkish reveals Koprulu s modern historiographic method, and his unique contribution in describing the nature of the relevant Muslim sources. Using these and other references, Koprulu gave the first broad comprehensive account political, religious, social, and economic of the Turkish history of Anatolia in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and outlined the major factors that led to the rise of the Ottomans."

Page 103 - Instead, it was a syncretisme resulting from a mixture of the old pagan traditions of the early Turks, a simple and popular form of extremist Shrism—with a veneer of 5ufism—and certain local customs.
