Historians of Christian European diplomacy have tended to approach Ottoman diplomatic practice from a rather Eurocentric perspective in that they presuppose initial Ottoman non-involvement in the development of the modern diplomatic system followed by a reluctant adoption of it when faced with a period of economic, military and political decline. In this article I read two fethnames [victory missives] sent to the Queen of England, Elizabeth I to celebrate the Ottoman capture of Nagykanizsa (Kanije) castle in 1600 as a means by which the Ottoman state both performed and legitimized Ottoman sovereignty yet also provided an opportunity for political or diplomatic negotiation.

权力的象征还是外交的工具？奥斯曼人的名字

基督教欧洲外交的历史学家倾向于从相当以欧洲为中心的角度来研究奥斯曼帝国的外交实践，因为他们假设最初奥斯曼帝国不参与现代外交体系的发展，随后在面对经济、军事和政治衰落。在这篇文章中，我读到了两封发送给英国女王伊丽莎白一世的 fethname [胜利信件]，以庆祝 1600 年奥斯曼帝国攻占 Nagykanizsa（Kanije）城堡，作为奥斯曼帝国履行和合法化奥斯曼主权的一种手段，同时也提供了政治或外交谈判的机会。
