    It makes me shudder to read that the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, governor-general of Bengal, offers a precedent for the Trump team’s legal strategy. Hastings was acquitted, by the way.

    There is no aspect of the historian’s craft more urgent or inspiring than this thoughtful but persistent use of the past to challenge toxic and false historical narratives that are used to oppress people today. Thank you !

    What a delight to behold Ottoman art historian Emine Fetvaci’s new book! Not only is it enlightening, as a bonus it includes the whole 74-page album of Sultan Ahmed I, correctly arranged from right to left. All the more miraculous since the original was cut up!
