Osmanlı Arşiv Belgelerinde Harran: Devlet, Aşiret, İskân (XVII-XX. Yüzyıllar)
type: item
description: Bereketli Hilal’in toprakları içinde yer alan Harran, gerek bulunduğu konum gerekse de sahip olduğu verimli topraklardan dolayı tarih boyunca birçok devletin hâkimiyet kurmaya çalıştığı bölgeler arasında yer almıştır. Bu özelliklerinden dolayı İslamiyet öncesinde ve İslamiyet ortaya çıktıktan sonra birçok devletin idaresine girmiştir. Harran, XVI. yüzyılda Osmanlı’nın hâkimiyetine girmiştir. Bir süre Diyarbakır Eyaleti’ne bağlı idare edilmişse de sonraki dönemlerde Rakka ve Halep vilayetlerine bağlanmıştır. Araştırmada, Osmanlı idaresinde XVII. ve XX. yüzyıllar arasında Harran’da yaşayan aşiretler, aşiretlerin gerçekleştirdiği eşkıyalık faaliyetleri, devlet-aşiret ilişkileri ve iskân siyaseti hakkında bilgiler verilmektedir. Metot olarak Tarihsel Araştırma metoduyla birlikte Belge İçerik Analizi Tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntemle Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi’ndeki belgeler, Halep Vilayet Salnamelerinin ilgili bölümleri transkript edilmiş olup, belgelerde konuyla ilgili bölümler tespit edildikten sonra yorumlanarak araştırmaya aktarılmıştır. Ayrıca dönemin yabancı ve yerli seyyahlarının yazmış olduğu seyahatnamelerden de Harran ve bölgedeki aşiretler hakkında yazdıkları bilgiler tespit edilerek araştırmaya aktarılmıştır. Literatürde Harran’ın kent tarihine, arkeolojik yapısına, ziraat ve ekonomisine yönelik birçok araştırmanın yapılmış olduğu, tarihsel anlamda sosyodemografik yapısını aydınlatmaya yönelik özgün bir çalışmanın olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu yönüyle araştırmanın literatüre katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Examining the Verses and Hadiths Shaping the Ottoman Jerusalem Policy and How the Members of Three Different Religions Kept Together in Peace
type: item
description: With the Ottoman witdrawal from Jerusalem in 1917, Jewish gangs began to settle in Jerusalem and its surraundings, which came under the British rule. These gangs, which received political and financial supports from European countries, especially the United Kingdoms, started their terrörist activities by attacking Muslim villages and towns. They established Israel and reached state power in a short period of approximately 30 years. Since then, Israel continues to be on the world's agenda as a land of attack, occupation, deportation, usurpation, terror, massacre and oppression. However Jerusalem, which is sacred to three religions, has come under the domination of all three religions in the course of world history. A lot of Muslim blood was shed in Jerusalem when it was remained under the rule of Crusaders for 90 years. The blood and tears shed for a hundred years in Jerusalem, which remained under the rule of Jewish Israel, are visible to the whole world. However in Jerusalem, which remained under the Muslim Ottoman rule for 400 years, neither a Christian nor a Muslim nor a Jew suffered a nosebleed. Undouptedly, one of the biggest reasons for this peace is the verses and Hadidths in the holly books of Muslims, which shape their belief and ideology.

İskenderun Kültürel Miras Yapılarının Yeniden İşlevlendirilmesi Eski İngiliz Konsolosluk Binası Potansiyelinin Değerlendirilmesi
type: item
description: Bu çalışma, İskenderun’un tarihsel dokusu içinde önemli bir kültür varlığı olan Eski İngiliz Konsolosluk Binası’nın yeniden işlevlendirilme potansiyelini değerlendirmektedir. İskenderun’un coğrafi, sosyo-ekonomik ve sosyo-kültürel gelişimi çerçevesinde konumlandırılan yapı, XIX. yüzyıldan günümüze ulaşabilmiş nitelikli örneklerden biridir. Çalışma kapsamında, literatür araştırmaları, arşiv belgeleri, alan gözlemleri ve görsel belgelerden yararlanılmış; yapının tarihsel gelişimi, mimari özellikleri, kolektif bellek bağlamındaki değeri ve günümüzdeki fiziksel durumu incelenmiştir. Özellikle 6 Şubat 2023 depremleri ve 2024’te meydana gelen yangın sonrası yaşanan tahribat, yapının korunması ve yeniden işlevlendirilmesinin aciliyetini ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda, yapının kültürel miras kimliği ile uyumlu olacak şekilde kamusal faydaya dönük işlevlerle (müze, kültür merkezi, kütüphane vb.) değerlendirilmesinin, hem kent belleğinin korunmasına hem de İskenderun’un kültürel turizmine katkı sağlayacağı vurgulanmaktadır.

Osmanlı Ve İran Anayasal Monarşi Mirasları Üzerine Karşılaştırmalı Bir İnceleme: Çoğulculuğa Karşı Şii-Merkezlilik
type: item
description: Bu makalede, 19. ve 20. yüzyıl başlarında Osmanlı ve İran’da meydana gelen meşrutiyet hareketleri karşılaştırmalı bir perspektifle incelenmektedir. Her iki örnekte de mutlak monarşiden anayasal bir yönetime geçiş çabası denenmiş; bu deneyimlerin merkezinde ise modernleşme, halkın siyasal temsili ve hukuk devleti gibi unsurlar yer almıştır. Osmanlı’nın meşruiyet deneyimi incelendiğinde, Tanzimat’la başlayıp II. Meşrutiyet’e kadar uzanan süreçte meşrutiyetin ana taşıyıcıları olarak bürokratik elitler, askerî yapı ve entelektüellerin yer aldığı; İran’da ise bu rolün esasında Şii ulema, tüccar sınıfı ve şehirli entelijansiya tarafından oynandığı görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda bu çalışmanın ana argümanı, Osmanlı ve İran meşruiyet deneyimlerinin benzer talepler ve dış etkilerle şekillenmiş olmasına rağmen, farklı siyasal kültürler, dini yapılar ve uluslararası bağlamlarda gelişmiş olmaları hasebiyle birbirlerinden ayrıştığıdır: Osmanlı örneği daha çok çoğulcu, seküler ve bürokratik bir anayasal yapı geliştirme maksadını yansıtırken, İran meşrutiyeti ise güçlü Şii-merkezli dini yapının etkisiyle şekillenen ve dinî meşruiyetin sınırlarını aşmakta zorlanan bir gayretin örneği olmuştur. Bu çalışmada ortaya konmaya çalışılan karşılaştırmalı inceleme, her iki meşrutiyet deneyiminin de düşünsel temellerini, kurumsal yapısını, toplumsal tabanını ve siyasal mirasını inceleme yoluyla, Osmanlı anayasal modernleşme mirasının ilham verdiği İran deneyimine ışık tutmayı hedeflemektedir.

Commercial Activities in the Island in the Light of the Report of Watkins, the Last British Consul in Cyprus: 1877 Trade Report
type: item
description: Throughout history, Cyprus has been a target for many states due to its geopolitical and geostrategic position. In this regard, the Ottoman Empire quickly recognized the strategic importance of the island and incorporated it into its territories. Particularly with the Industrial Revolution, the economic significance of Cyprus became increasingly prominent. Being the largest island in the Eastern Mediterranean and its proximity to the mainland turned the island into a strategic base. Its location led foreign states to establish consulates on the island. The British, in this context, were among the first states to open a representative office. For England, the leading country of the Industrial Revolution, Cyprus quickly became an important stop along the Mediterranean trade route. As is known, consuls are responsible for reporting on the political, social, cultural, and economic life of the countries they are assigned to, to their home states. During this period, Britain increased its interest in the region and effectively took control of the island in 1878. However, just before this transfer of authority, the last British consul to serve on the island, Watkins, prepared a report in 1877 that provides detailed information on both the economic performance of the Ottoman administration and the commercial potential of Cyprus. This report addresses various issues such as the commercial products of the period, export structures, infrastructure problems, and tax policies, providing a panoramic view of the economic situation on the island. The present study aims to highlight the information contained in the British Consul's report and shed light on the commercial life in Cyprus.

Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname in the Perspective of Contemporary Arab Culture
type: item
description: Evliya Çelebi was an Ottoman explorer, born in 1611 in Istanbul and died in 1682 in Cairo. His journey in the middle of the seventeenth century is considered one of the most important trips undertaken by a Muslim traveller due to the number of countries he visited, the duration of his voyage, and the important news and observations it contained. However, despite this importance, this journey did not receive much attention in the Arab world, and its author did not receive the same fame as the other Ottoman scholars. Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname received attention from many cultures and was translated into several languages, including German, Russian, English, French, Greek, and Armenian, while only some parts of it were translated into Arabic. This research aims to monitor the status of this great traveler and his journey in the Arab culture and seeks to give an idea of the books and the research that were written about this journey and the image in which it was presented. This study is an attempt to explore the reasons why Evliya Çelebi’s Seyahatname did not spread more widely in the Arab world compared to other travel books.

ŞEHİR, İKLİM VE ÇEVRE İLİŞKİSİNİ OSMANLI İSTANBUL’UNDAKİ ISINMA VE SOĞUTMA UYGULAMALARI ÜZERİNDEN KEŞFETMEK: KAYNAKLARIN POTANSİYELİ VE ARAŞTIRMA GÜNDEMİ (1500–1700)
type: item
description: Osmanlı İstanbul’unda (1500-1700) ısınma/ısıtma ve soğutma uygulamaları tarihine yönelik bu çalışma, birincil kaynaklar ile literatürün birleşiminden elde edilen verilerle, erken modern dönemde şehir hayatı, iklim ve çevre arasındaki çok katmanlı ilişkiyi anlamaya yönelik keşifsel bir araştırmadır. Küçük Buzul Çağı olarak bilinen dönemde, ara ara sert iklim koşullarının baskın olduğu bir bağlamda, İstanbul’un bu koşullara verdiği tepkileri ortaya çıkaracak konuları keşfetmeye çalışmaktadır. Yakacak temininden kar ve buz depolamaya, kullanılan teknolojilerden süreçlerin aktörlerine kadar uzanan bu konular, İstanbul’un iklimle kurduğu etkileşimi ve bu etkileşimin idari, sosyal, mimari ve kültürel yansımalarını takip etmektedir. Araştırmada incelenen Devlet Arşivleri ve Topkapı Sarayı belgeleri, ısıtma ve soğutma pratiklerinin idari ve maddi boyutlarını kapsamlı bir şekilde aydınlatmaktadır. Şer’iyye sicilleri, günlük hayatın mikro ölçekteki izlerini sunmakta, şehir ve şehir sakinlerinin tabiat, çevre ve iklimle olan etkileşimini ortaya koymaktadır. Yazma eserler ise iklimin kültürel ve edebi boyutlarını açığa vurmaktadır. Konuya dair varolan literatürün zamansal, mekansal ve tematik olarak parça parça ve yüzeysel kalması ise konuya dair birincil kaynakların değerini daha da artırmaktadır. Bu çerçevede makalenin temel amacı bir tarih yazmaktan çok, yeni sorular üretmek ve mevcut kaynakların sunduğu potansiyeli kavramsal çerçeveler aracılığıyla değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, Osmanlı İstanbul’unun “termal coğrafyası”na dair ilk kapsamlı ve çok disiplinli analiz önerilerinden birini sunmaktadır.

Osmanlı Selanik'inde Ekonomik Düalizm: Temettüat Kayıtları Üzerinden Rum Ve Müslüman Mahalleleri Üzerine Karşılaştırmalı Bir Çalışma (1844)
type: item
description: Bu çalışmada, XIX. Yüzyıl Osmanlı modernleşme sürecinde Selanik şehri Rum ve Müslüman mahallelerinin sosyo-ekonomik yapısı Temettüat Defterleri yardımıyla karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. 1844 yılına ait mahalle bazlı vergi, meslek ve gelir verilerini merkeze alan araştırma, Tanzimat reformlarının taşra ekonomisini merkezîleştirme çabalarını, dini kimliklerin ekonomik faaliyetlere etkisini ve kentsel mekândaki etnik-dini ayrışmayı mikro-tarihsel bir yaklaşımla incelemektedir. Niceliksel veri analizi, hane sayıları, meslek dağılımları ve vergi kayıtları üzerinden, etnik-dini grupların geçim stratejileri ile devlet politikalarının kesişiminin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya konu bulgulara göre; Rum mahallelerinde Pabuççuluk/Kunduracılık ve Meyhanecilik gibi Hristiyanlara özgü zanaatlar, Müslüman mahallelerinde ise Hizmetkârlık ve Debbağlık gibi İslami teamüllere uyumlu meslekler baskındır. Cemaatlere özgü ticari faaliyetlerin öne çıkması, dini normların piyasa dinamiklerini şekillendirdiğini göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Müste’menlerin %97’sinin Rum mahallelerinde yoğunlaşması, Osmanlı’nın geçici koruma politikalarının bile cemaat temelli ağlarla sınırlı kaldığını kanıtlar niteliktedir. Vergi kayıtları ise, Tanzimat’ın "ödeme gücü" ilkesinin pratikte sınırlı kaldığını göstermektedir. Kent ekonomisinin etnik-dini tabakalaşmasını mikro ölçekte belgeleyerek geleneksel "millet" kategorilerini aşan bir perspektif sunması, Tanzimat’ın merkezîleşmesi hedefleri ile geleneksel tevzi‘ sistemi arasındaki gerilimi somut verilerle açığa çıkarması ve Osmanlı kozmopolitizmin pratik sınırlarını Müste’men dağılımı üzerinden analiz etmesi açısından bu çalışma, Osmanlı kentlerinin çok katmanlı yapısını mahalle ölçeğinde belgeleyerek literatüre üç temel katkı sunmaktadır. Aynı zamanda, Osmanlı iktisat tarihine disiplinlerarası bir perspektif kazandırarak, kentsel hayatın sosyal, ekonomik ve dini dokusunu anlamada yeni bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Gelecek araştırmalar içi…

An Ottoman delegate in Paris: Mehmed Galib Efendi
type: item
description: Diplomacy is one of the parameters that keep a state alive in the international arena. Embassies are the only institutions that carry out the diplomacy process abroad in bilateral relations. The Ottoman Empire established diplomatic relations with the principalities and states on its periphery since its foundation (although not in an institutional sense). In the process that developed for political and economic reasons, the first steps of embassies were taken as a result of mutual relations with Venice immediately after the conquest of Istanbul, and later with Poland, Russia, France, Austria, England and the Netherlands. With Selim III, a resident embassy was opened in France. This was the first step towards institutionalization. With the rapprochement of the Ottoman Empire with France and the maturation of the process, Galip Efendi took office in Paris with the title of extraordinary ambassador (ambassador of the Devlet-i Aliyye). Galip Efendi's main challenge during this period would be to successfully carry through a policy of balance against the diplomats of France, Russia and England. The Ottoman Empire had to be strong at the diplomatic table with these states, with whom it had confronted in different parts of the empire. The main problematic of this microhistorical study is to emphasize the diplomatic relations of Mehmed Galip Efendi, the Ottoman ambassador to Paris, who played a significant role in the development of Ottoman diplomacy. In addition to archival sources, secondary sources and visuals are used to enrich the arguments in the text.

A Mine Site Whose Operation Was Stopped Due to War Technique at the End of the 19 th Century: Sarıyer Copper Mine
type: item
description: This article discusses the military-strategic significance of the Bosphorus during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II and, in this context, the impact of the copper mine in Sarıyer on Ottoman defense policies. It examines the importance that the Ottoman Empire gave to the protection of defensive structures around the Bosphorus and the implementation of military strategies, particularly in the face of the Russian threat from the Black Sea, increasing political activity in the Balkans, and diplomatic problems with European states. British representatives’ demands for the expansion and operation of the copper mine area in Sarıyer conflicted with the military interests of the Ottoman Empire, and these demands became an international diplomatic issue. The study analyzes the Ottoman Empire’s determination to protect its strategic priorities and the policies it followed against external pressures. It explains how the copper mine in Sarıyer, located in close proximity to defensive structures such as castles and bastions on the Bosphorus, affected military mobility and the protection of water resources. It is indicated that the Ottoman Empire resisted British demands to prevent the possible harms of the expansion of the mining area on military strategies and stopped this enterprise at the expense of paying compensation. The article follows a document-based method in analyzing historical events. In this context, first of all, documents and documents from the official archives of the Republic of Turkey, particularly the Ottoman archives, were examined. Reports published by the Mineral Research and Exploration Directorate, which is a state institution, were taken as primary sources. Moreover, works written during the Ottoman Empire period and current research studies were utilized in the close reading, analysis, and synthesis of existing materials. In this context, historical events were discussed with their military, diplomatic, and strategic aspects, and the effects of Ottoman…

Earthquakes in The Province of Ioannına in The Second Half of The 19th Century (1850-1900)
type: item
description: Earthquake data from the past provide important information in terms of discovering the seismicity of a region. Such data contribute to analyses and predictions about the region’s seismicity. Historical records show that Ioannina region has been repeatedly exposed to earthquakes. Ioannina earthquakes during the second half of the 19th century provide important data on the effects on the architectural and urban development of the region. Besides, there are the socio-economic and demographic effects of the loss of life and property caused by these earthquakes in rural areas. In this study, the earthquakes in Berat, Delvine, Kudhes (Kurveleş), Margariti (Margiliç) and Paramythia (Aydonat) regions of the province of Ioannina, as the most seismically active region of the Balkans, and their consequences will be discussed with the data obtained from archival documents.

Konya-Ereğli Demiryolu Hattı’nın Açılış Merasimi (25 Ekim 1904)
type: item
description: This study examines the opening ceremony of the Konya-Ereğli Line, which is considered the first part of the Baghdad Railway Project and an important step for the continuation of the project. The study also reveals the political and social reflections of the completion of the first part of a large project, how both the public and the ruling class responded to such initiatives, the care shown for the opening, the importance given to both the sultan and his work, and the interest shown in participation. The opening day was determined as October 25, 1904, which coincides with the birthday of Sultan Abdulhamid II. Although the chosen day is considered normal for such celebrations, in this study the opening ceremony is distinguished from other celebrations by the detailed description of the journey from Istanbul to Ereğli. In this context, the opening ceremony in question was being considered, it was not evaluated as an ordinary part of the birthday celebrations celebrated with various organizations throughout the country. What makes this opening special is not only that it was held on the Sultan’s birthday, but also that it was seen as the announcement of a big step in its time. The study was prepared in the light of the data obtained by identifying the relevant records in the archive, scanning some newspapers of the period and with the support of other studies. In the study, the journey starting from Istanbul and continuing until the opening ceremony to be held at Ereğli Station was included step by step.

description: There are chests whose contents are known only to their owners, whose owners arrange these chests according to their own wishes and only when they are opened can others see the contents of these chests. Cönks, like chests, are long, thin notebooks that open lengthwise and take shape according to the cultural and literary taste, interest and desire of the person who created them, who wrote them, and the environment in which they were raised, and when these notebooks are opened, just like closed chests, the cultural treasure inside is revealed. Generally, cönks contain works related to folk literature and culture, as well as significant sources of classical Turkish literature. They can be created by a single scribe or multiple authors, and their content becomes richer as they change hands. The Cönk, registered under number 42 Yu 7611 at the Konya Karatay Yusuf Ağa Library is a rare work containing 129 pieces, showcasing various writing styles. This study will focus on the poet Hasan Hüsnî, who is notable for his 39 poems in the Cönk. Hasan Hüsnî, from the town of Cuma in Bulgaria, has twelve poems in the Cönk that do not appear in his known single copy of the Divân. Living in the first half of the XIXth century, he wrote mystical poetry, adopting a literary style suitable for the period and striving to navigate the challenges of his chaotic environment. This study presents new insights into the Cönk and Hasan Hüsnî’s life and art, including twelve of his previously unpublished poems.

On The Interventions of The Copyer in A Copy of Garib-Nâme
type: item
description: Garib-nâme is a Turkish copyright work written by Âşık Pasha during the 14th century. The work is among noteworthy works from the creation phase of the Ancient Anatolian Turkish. More than one hundred copies of Garib-nâme have been detected so far. One of these copies is the one dated 391, A.D and archive numbered 236 in Koç University Suna Kıraç Library Special Collections and Archives section. What makes this copy different from others is the interventions performed on the original text on the first 69 pages of the copy. This second copyist changed specific spelling, grammar and vocabulary elements displaying the Ancient Anatolian Turkish period characteristics in the present work. The aforementioned interventions were performed after the century when the actual work was written. We know why specific works within the historical process were rewritten during the following centuries. In this copy, we can individually see the transformations performed on the original work during a possible attempt of rewriting which had not been transcribed yet. The copy in this respect is one of the original examples which makes it possible to see the transformation of Turkish in Anatolia during different centuries in a tangible way.

The Turkish Poems of Muʻtasım-ı Buhârî
type: item
description: : We know very little about the life and work of the poet Muʻtasım-ı Buhârî (d. H. 1293 / CE. 1876- 77), beyond four [brief] mentions. The first two include a pair of handwritten manuscripts: Kārî Rahmetullah Vâzıh’s (d. 1895) collection of biographies Tuhfetü’l-Ahbâb fî Tezkireti’l-Ashâb, and Hayyâm Pûr’s (d. 1979) Ferheng-i Suhanverân. The latter two are a pair of printed books: Ali Emiri’s Manzum 895 (Turkish National Library), and BM11868 (Beyazıt Library). Muʻtasım was originally from Afghanistan, and the son of Erşad-ı Kâdî Molla Muhammed Rahîm-i Belhî. Sources tell us that he’d received a through education, and could read and understand Arabic books with relative ease. He also was calligraphically versed in naskh and taliq scripts, and that he took an interest in music and abjad numerals. Never the less, his talent for poetry rose above all else. We know that he worked as a clothing trader in Russia and Anatolia, only to later live and serve as a muhtasib in Istanbul after his pilgrimage to Mecca. His poetry – as they appear in the aforementioned books – show us his mastery the Arabic, Persian, and Turkish languages. This couldn’t be more evident than in Bûsîrî’s (d. 696 / 1297?) Kasîde-i Bürde – which features seven Persian, one Arabic, and five Turkish poems by Buhârî. In this study, we shall shed light on who Muʻtasım-ı Buhârî was, and then examine five of his (Ottoman) Turkish naat and culusiye poems, including their forms (qaside, qita, muhammes, and mutheddes), and content – accompanied by Modern Turkish translations.

An Analysis of the Discourses on 'Sultan Mehmet II / Mehmet the Conqueror' in High School History Textbooks in Turkey from the Tanzimat Period to the Present in Terms of Historiographical Differences
type: item
description: Textbooks play a crucial role in the content dimension of education, specifically concerning the subject matter taught during the learning and teaching processes. In contemporary educational frameworks, government-supervised textbooks serve as the primary source of information, disseminating knowledge that is considered appropriate by the authorities to a broad audience within the public sphere. Notably, history textbooks have emerged as significant instruments for the government in shaping state-society dynamics, largely due to the extensive information they encompass. This underscores the necessity for historiographical analysis of history textbooks utilized in schools since the Tanzimat Period, when the Turkish education system underwent Western modernization. This study aims to investigate the portrayal of Sultan Mehmet II (Mehmet the Conqueror), who orchestrated the conquest of Istanbul, as represented in high school history textbooks from the Tanzimat Period to the present, focusing on historiographical variations. The analysis of the textbooks revealed several distinct narratives regarding (1) Mehmet II's initial ascension to the throne and subsequent abdication, (2) his second ascension, (3) his role during the conquest of Istanbul, (4) his demeanor post-conquest, (5) his personal attributes, and (6) the circumstances surrounding his death. Ultimately, the historiographical discrepancies identified in the textbooks were assessed about the prevailing ideologies of their respective periods and the power dynamics that shape knowledge for specific ends

Acquisitions and Concessions in Preserving Cultural Heritage: The Hagia Sophia Roxelana Bathhouse
type: item
description: : Bathhouses are structures where washing is carried from the waterfront into an area and should be regarded as a cultural heritage piece, where social values may be pursued beyond the physical and structural qualities of a building. This article tackles the social life rules, material, and spiritual-cultural values of the Hagia Sophia Roxelana Bathhouse, which has not been the subject of an independent study regarding the cultural values of its interiors, after the restoration work that started in 2009 and has been completed in three years. The aim is to record the information regarding the dimensional, construction, and space organization of the interior design of the bathhouses as a rare example among Turkish Bathhouses, to transfer its material and spiritual cultural values to the future with accuracy, and to form its proper place in the changing world order. On this basis, the content of the study has been determined as the studies that were carried out in the reconstruction process and the arrangement of functions of cultural sustainability during the restoration of Hagia Sophia Roxelana Bathhouse, which has been chosen as the experimental area for the article. Consequently, while revealing the necessity of making concessions to maintain the cultural continuity in cases such as the example of this historical building, a critical situation has been presented by drawing attention to the result of the decisions taken, particularly for these types of structures included in the tourism sector.

An Ottoman Period Addition to Attaleia Castle: Antalya Clock Tower
type: item
description: The defense system of the city of Attaleia, whose first construction dates back to the Hellenistic period, consists of outer walls, curtain walls, inner walls and the gates and bastions on them. Maps, engravings, and drawings have been made regarding the city, which many travelers and researchers have visited throughout history. However, Antalya castle retains an air of mystery, because definitive knowledge regarding its original character hasn’t been established. Attaleia Castle has undergone many modifications throughout its history from the 2nd century AD to the present day as a result of natural disasters, sieges, repair works, demolitions, and additions. Although the walls surrounding the city remained largely intact until the early 20th century, it is known that demolitions began in 1914, starting in the vicinity of the Government House. The castle gate, walls, and bastions located in the vicinity of the bastion, which had Antalya clock tower added to it during the Ottoman period, were destroyed in earlier times and have not survived to the present day. This situation has caused the bastion, originally part of the fortification system and later converted into a clock tower, to largely lose its physical and visual connection with the other elements of the castle. This study presents the results of the research regarding the Antalya Clock Tower built during the Ottoman period on one of the few remaining bastions of the multi-layered heritage of the Attaleia castle, this important defence system has survived to the present day

Sufi Practices and Urban Spaces: Everyday Experiences of Sheikh Ken’ân Rifâî (1867-1950) in the Late Ottoman Istanbul
type: item
description: This historical study investigates the methods and approaches utilized by Ken’ân Rifâî (1867-1950) to manage the social demands and complexities of Late Ottoman society by concentrating on his various roles as a Sufi sheikh and bureaucrat within the perceived conflicted urban spaces of office and the conventional sufi lodge institution through the everyday life studies perspectives. Examining his daily routines and practices in Istanbul during the Second Constitutional Era (1908-1918), this research accentuates his nuanced synthesis, mirrored his selective adoption amidst the confluence of Western and conventional components. The main objective of our inquiry is to explore how Rifâî has effectively integrated administrative ethos and Sufi principles within the involved socio- spatial setting of the early 20th-century Ottoman capital. As focal points of spiritual and cultural activity, his Sufi lodge (Ummu Ken’ân dergâhı) and his mansion (konak) depict his endeavors to reconcile sufi customs with contemporary developments and thus have served as a microcosm of broader social changes in urban life. By delving into the ordinary moments of Rifâî’s life, we see a man who adeptly navigated his era’s challenges, integrating traditional wisdom with modern pragmatism while utilizing everyday practices to negotiate his position within a rapidly changing society

Social and Economic Life in Rural Diyarbekir in the Middle of the XIXth Century: Accordin to Peasants’ Probate Registers
type: item
description: All types of goods and possessions that a person leaves behind after their death are referred to as an inheritance inventories (tereke) and the documents in which goods and possessions are recorded according to type, quantity and value are called probate registers. All types of movable and immovable property and goods held by the deceased during their lifetime were recorded in the pobate registers, making these records indispensable sources for Ottoman social and economic history research. The information and data recorded in the pobate registers are almost like a treasure for socio-economic historical research. At this point, this paper analyses the data in the probate records of 299 people in the villages of Diyarbekir based on social and economic structure. Firstly, it determines the village in which the individuals lived, population details, Muslim status, number of spouses, number of sons and daughters and the total amount of wealth remaining after deducting debts and expenses. The criteria of percentile shares, Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient were then used to show the inequality in the distribution of wealth among individuals. In addition, this paper also assesses the impact of wealth on the number of spouses and children and on Muslim and non-Muslim groups.

Birinci Dünya Savaşı Sırasında Ayvalık’ta Osmanlı Devleti’ne Karşı Gerçekleştirilen Casusluk Faaliyetleri
type: item
description: Ayvalık, coğrafi konumundan dolayı hemen karşısında bulunan adaların yoğun baskısı altında olduğu için isyanlardan çok etkilenmiştir. Şehir Mora isyanından beri Yunan milliyetçiliğinin etkisi altında olup, Etnik-i Eterya’nın ilk örgütlendiği yerler arasında bulunmaktadır. Yunanistan için, İzmir’den sonra Ayvalık’ın işgali çok önemlidir. Bu durum ve Çanakkale cephesine yakın olması Ayvalık’ın doğrudan hedef olmasına ve casusluk faaliyetlerinin merkezi haline gelmesine yol açmıştır. Bu makalede, Birinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Ayvalık ve çevresinde Osmanlı Devleti’ne karşı gerçekleştirilen casusluk faaliyetleri ile Osmanlı yönetiminin bunlara karşı almış olduğu tedbirler ve mücadele seyri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmamızda casusluk faaliyetleri, Ayvalık kazası özelinde irdelenirken şu sorulara cevap bulunmaya çalışılmıştır: Ayvalık’ın bulunduğu coğrafi konumun ve bu bölgede yaygın olan kaçakçılığın casusluk faaliyetleri üzerinde etkisi nasıl olmuştur? Ele aldığımız dönemde gerek Ayvalık’ın yerli Rumlarının ve gerekse de adalardan gelen Rumların Ayvalık kazası ve yakın çevresinde yol açtığı casusluk faaliyetleri nelerdir? İtilaf Devletleri özellikle de İngilizler bölgede ne tür casusluk çalışmalarında bulunmuşlardır? Casusluk bağlamında Rumların İngilizlerle ilişkileri nasıl seyretmiştir? Ayvalık özelinde casusluk faaliyetleri ile ilgili daha önce bu türden bir çalışma yapılmamış olup, çalışmanın hem Ayvalık ve bölge tarihine hem de benzeri çalışmalara katkı sunması amaçlanmaktadır.

Understanding the Physical Language of the Psyche: Aristotle’s Influence on Ottoman Physiognomists
type: item
description: Physiognomy, the assessment of an individual's character through physical appearance, originates from Aristotle, whose concepts significantly impacted subsequent literature. Ottoman literature, influenced by Arabic and Persian traditions, encompasses manuscripts referred to as Kıyâfetnâme, which illustrate this practice. The initial Arabic texts on physiognomy were translations of Aristotle's books, highlighting his direct impact. This influence is also apparent in Kıyâfetnâmes, which embody Arabic literary traditions. This study analyses three Kıyâfetnâmes from Ottoman literature in regard to Aristotle's perspectives, emphasising their conceptual parallels. The results demonstrate that numerous viewpoints articulated in these writings closely correspond with Aristotle’s concepts, implying that physiognomy possesses cross-cultural relevance. Consequently, Kıyâfetnâmes are invaluable resources for scholars investigating the historical evolution of physiognomy

Afyonkarahisar’da 15. Yüzyıla Ait Kaybolan Bir Kültür Mirası: Umur Bey Camii Ve Külliyesi
type: item
description: Umur Bey Külliyesi, Afyonkarahisar’da 15. yüzyılda Anadolu Beylerbeyi Umur Bey tarafından inşa edilmiştir. Cami, hamam, medrese ve handan oluşan bu yapı topluluğu, Selçuklu ve erken dönem Osmanlı mimarisi özellikleri göstermektedir. Cami ibadet mekânı olarak kullanılmasının yanı sıra, toplumsal yaşamda kutlama, eğitim ve ibadet gibi işlevleriyle önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Ancak, caminin de içinde bulunduğu yapı topluluğu 1933 yılında yıkılmış, bu yapıdan günümüzde hiçbir iz kalmamıştır. 2020 yılında külliyedeki camiden esinlenilerek aynı isimle modern bir cami inşa edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, hakkında sınırlı sayıda görsel ve yazılı kaynak bulunan Umur Bey Külliyesi'nin mimari, tarihi ve kültürel değerlerini ortaya koyarak bilim camiasına tanıtmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, yeni yapının orijinal yapıya ne ölçüde referans verdiği ve sosyal-kültürel işlevselliğini ne düzeyde koruyabildiği karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde analiz edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, çalışma kapsamında öncelikle arşiv taraması yapılmış, yeni yapı ile ilgili bilgiler doğrudan gözlem metoduyla elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada, yapının Afyonkarahisar'ın tarihsel dokusunda büyük bir kayıp olduğu, yeni yapının ise eski yapıya verdiği tarihi referanslara rağmen modern dönemde inşa edilen bir cami olmaktan öteye gidemediği, orijinal yapının sosyal ve kültürel işlevselliğini taşıyamadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yapıldığı dönemden izler taşıyan Umur Bey Külliyesi’ne yönelik kapsamlı bir çalışmanın bulunmaması bu çalışmanın özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaktadır.

Eski Türkçedeki Yaġaḳ Kelimesinin Kökeni Üzerine
type: item
description: Eski Türkçede kullanılan kelimelerden bazıları tamamen unutulmuştur. Bazıları ise ses değişikliğine uğrayarak günümüze kadar gelmeyi başarmış ve Türk dilinin herhangi bir lehçesinde varlığını devam ettirme imkânı bulabilmiştir. Bu kelimelerden biri de “yagak”tır. Ceviz ve ceviz ağacı anlamında kullanılan yagak kelimesinin ilk örneklerine Irk Bitig’de rastlıyoruz: “yạgạk : ıgạç : yaylạgım : kuşlụg : ıgạç : kışlạgım” Ceviz ağaçları yaylam, kuşların çokça bulunduğu ağaçlar kışlağımdır (IB 56)”. “yạgạklıg: togrạk : üze : tüşüpẹn :yạylạyur : mẹn Cevizli (= cevize benzer meyveli) kavak ağacı üzerine konup yazı geçiriyorum.” Kelimeye sivil Uygur belgelerinde rastlandığı gibi, Karahanlı Türkçesi eserlerinden Divânu Lugâti’t-Türk’te de geçmektedir. Akı yagak: soyulması kolay olan cevize akı yaga.k denir; “iyi cins ceviz” demektir. (Ercilasun vd. 2014: 360). Kelime Çağatay Türkçesinde yaŋaḳ/yaŋaġ ve Batı Türkçesinde yaŋaḳ şekliyle kullanılmıştır. Kelimenin kökeni hakkında bugüne kadar tatmin edici bir açıklama yapılmamıştır. Cevizin ağaçtan dökülen bir şey olmasından hareketle kelimenin kökü yag- “yağmak” fiiline dayandırılmıştır (1962: 231; ED 900a). Ancak bu etimolojik açıklama, kelimenin yàngàḳ (Özbek Türkçesi), jaŋgak (Kazak Türkçesi), caŋğak (Kırgız Türkçesi), yaŋak (Uygur Türkçesi) kullanımlarını ve /-ŋg-/, /-ng-/ ve /-ŋ-/ seslerinin izahını güçleştirmektedir. Türkçe yaġaḳ kelimesinin caġaḳ şekliyle Moğolcaya da geçtiği dile getirilmiş ancak Arap harfli Moğolca sözlüklerde ve Modern Moğolcada bu kelimeye rastlanmamıştır. Kalmukçada ise jaŋxag, jaŋgag şekline rastlanmıştır. Kelimenin Kıpçak ve Karluk grubu Türk lehçelerinde tercih edilen yàngàḳ, jaŋgak, caŋğak kullanımı, Doğu Karadeniz ağızlarındaki cangà / cango kelimesine oldukça yakın bir söyleyiştedir. Trabzon ağzında canġo; ince kabuklu, içi dolu, yuvarlak fındık için kullanılmaktadır. Artvin ağzında ise canġà cevizin yeşil rengi ve dış kısmını ifade ettiği gibi koruk cevizi de karşılar. Bu kullanım Kafkas dillerind…

Bir Yazma Eser Fabrika Tarihi: Tevfik Âmir’in Sèvres Porselen Fabrikası (Dârü’s-sınâ‘ası) Risalesi
type: item
description: Türkiye’de kurum tarihi çalışmaları genellikle 1980’li yıllara dayandırılmaktadır. Bu konuda erken dönem çalışmalarına rastlanmakla beraber şu ana kadar çok kısıtlı sayıda çalışma ortaya çıkmıştır. Erken dönem çalışmalara örnek sayılabilecek -şimdiye dek ilk- çalışma 1898 yılında Tevfik Âmir [Kocamaz] tarafından kaleme alınan Sèvres Porselen Fabrikası (Dârü’s-sınâ‘ası) Risâlesi’dir. İlk defa gün yüzüne çıkan bu eser, günümüzde Paris’te müze olarak faaliyet gösteren Sevr Porselen Fabrikası’nın tarihini, üretimini ve sanatkârlarını anlatmaktadır. Çalışmada eseri incelemek adına kodikolojik yönteme, eserin bağlamını ortaya koymak ve yazarı analiz etmek için ise alan teorisine başvurulmuştur. Bu sebeple çalışmada edebî kişiliğinin yanında Tevfik Âmir’in, bu risale ile yönetim ekolünün geç Osmanlı dönemine ait bir örneğini ve endüstriyel bilginin taşıyıcısı (carriers) olarak bir yöneticinin profilini sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Diğer taraftan çalışma, Osmanlı dönemindeki imtiyazlarla desteklenmesi, özel girişim ve devlet iş birliği gibi faktörler düşünüldüğünde sanayileşme anlayışına benzer yönler taşıyan Sevr Fabrikası’nın hikayesini ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin son döneminde neredeyse her alanda yaşanan Fransız etkisine dair somut bir örnek sunmaktadır.

description: This study is written to highlight Russia’s response to the military mission led by Liman von Sanders, brought from Germany to reorganize and modernize the Turkish army after Turkey’s defeat in the Balkan War, and to show the Russo-German negotiations during this process. The political conjuncture that emerged after Turkey’s defeat in the Balkan War led to several conflicts and complications, further exacerbating old contradictions. Turkey’s defeat caused serious concerns in the German government, raising the question of how the future and security of the Black Sea Straits and the Baghdad Railway could be ensured. If Russia succeeded in taking control of the straits, the Baghdad Railway would fall into Russian hands as well. The political and strategic changes that would occur in Turkey made Germany’s intervention almost inevitable. The ruling circles in Turkey believed that the reorganization of the Turkish army was crucial to prevent the dissolution of the state. At the request of Grand Vizier Mahmud Şevket Pasha and with the leadership of Germany’s ambassador to Istanbul, Wangenheim, the foundation of the Turkish-German military aid agreement was laid. However, this military mission interfered with Russia’s historical plans to send warships through the Black Sea Straits and take control of the Straits. Therefore, Russia opposed the Turkish-German military cooperation agreement, known as the “Sanders Mission”, and began diplomatic efforts with Germany to end the mission of Liman von Sanders, who had been assigned to the 1st Army Corps Command in Istanbul.

EDİRNE MÜZESİNDE BULUNAN GAZ LAMBALARI
type: item
description: Özet: Odun ateşi ve çırayla başlayan yapay aydınlatma araçları tarihi, seramikten yağ kandilleri ve mumun bulunuşuyla devam eder. Orta Çağ’da seramik kandilin ve mumun yanında; Roma ve Bizans dönemlerinde camdan polikandilonlar görülür. İslam dünyasında ise camdan vazo tipli kandiller ün kazanır. Uzak Doğu’da Çin’in kendine özgü aydınlatma araçları arasında fenerler ayrı bir yer tutarlar. Bunlardan başka, gemici fenerleri ve özel günler için kullanılan mahya kandilleri de yapay aydınlatma araçları arasında sayılabilirler. Petrolün rafine edilmesinden sonra gaz yağıyla çalışan gaz lambaları da aydınlatma araçları içinde yerlerini alırlar. Bu lambaların ortaya çıkışı, yapay aydınlatma alanında devrim niteliğinde gelişmelerin yaşandığı 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısına rastlar. Bu dönemde Avrupa ve Amerika’da geliştirilen gaz lambalarının “fitilli” ve “basınçlı” olmak üzere iki çeşidi bulunmaktadır. Bu lambalar son Osmanlı döneminde de özellikle şehirlerde yoğun biçimde kullanılmışlardır. Gaz lambalarının, Türkiye’de elektrik yaygınlaşıncaya, yani aşağı yukarı 20. yüzyılın üçüncü çeyreğine kadar köylerde kullanımının devam ettiği bilinmektedir. Bunların fitilli modeli halk arasında en çok bilinen türdür. Bu aydınlatma araçlarının hazne kısımları seramik veya camdan yapılmakta ve süslenmektedir. Türkiye’de bu tip lambalarla özel koleksiyonlarda ve müzelerde karşılaşıyoruz. Bunlardan bir grup örnek de Edirne Müzesinde yer almaktadır. Bu makalede Edirne Müzesindeki on iki adet gaz lambası ele alınmıştır. Makalede Müzedeki bu lambaların incelenerek bilim dünyasına tanıtılması ve bu konudaki veri tabanına katkı sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla literatür taramasının ardından Müzedeki örnekler çizim ve fotoğraflarla belgelenmişler ve değerlendirilmişlerdir. Edirne Müzesindeki lambalardan üçü seramik hazneli, dokuzu ise cam haznelidir. Bunlardan bazılarının bekleri (metal ayar aksamı) üzerinde yabancı markalar yer alır. Bunların ithal edildikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Seramik hazneli…
