Summary/Abstract: Review of: Kursar, Vjeran. Croatian Levantines in Ottoman Istanbul. Istanbul: The Isis Press, 2021. 258 Page. ISBN: 9789754286670 The presence of Catholic communities in Istanbul date back to the pre-Ottoman period, and their number increased in the Ottoman economic and political context. Even though the Levantines have been the subject of numerous popular history works, we can observe a relatively smaller academic interest in the issue.
