  • Cervantes, Cyprus, and the Sublime Porte: Literary Representations of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Jew Solomon Ashkenazi
    Michael Gordon 205 Cervantes, Cyprus, and the Sublime Porte: Literary Representations of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Jew Solomon Ashkenazi Michael Gordon University of Wisconsin–Madison The aim of this study is to explore, with particular attention given to Ottoman Jewish subjects, Cervantes’ recreations of the political and economic realities of eastern Mediterranean societies in El amante liberal (AL) and La gran sultana (GS).1 Ottmar Hegyi (1998) thoroughly details and challenges the different treatment that the aforementioned works have been given by critics in comparison to that given to Cervantes’ North African captivity plays, El trato de Argel (TA) and Los baños de Argel (BA).2 Although the merits of Hegyi’s observation connecting AL and GS will be discussed later in this paper, it is necessary to first establish that these two works are also bound by their chronological and geographical settings, both of which are related to seminal historical events that, although they occurred in the 1570s, were still relevant to the 17th- century Spanish public. In the case of AL, the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus figures prominently, while in GS, Ottoman relations with Persia and Spain, as well as Spain’s military operations in Flanders, are constantly referenced. More immediately relevant to Ottoman Jews,3 however, were the social, political and economic environments of Cyprus and Istanbul that gave them extensive freedom of movement and access to the sultan’s court. The Jew Solomon Ashkenazi, who served not only as the Venetian Bailo’s physician in Istanbul and then as an advisor to the Ottoman Grand Vizier Sokollu, but who was also active in Mediterranean commerce, took advantage of those favorable circumstances.

[email protected] Building a Boundary: the First Venetian-Ottoman Border in Dalmatia, 1573-1576 The establishment of a precise borderline between the Ottoman Empire and the Repu- blic of Venice on the Dalmatian mainland fi rst became an issue as a consequence of the third Venetian-Ottoman War (1537–1540). The issue arose again after the War of Cyprus (1570–1573). The victories of the Turkish army forced the Venetians to sue for a favourable interpretation of the 1573 peace treaty, under which they envisaged a full handover of their pre-war Dalmatian territories. The lengthy negotiations involved the Grand Vizier Mehmed Sokollu and his counsellor Solomon Ashkenazi, the Venetian Senate and its ambassadors. Only once Sultan Murad III had agreed to a settlement did both the Ottoman Empire and Venice send a special commission to Dalmatia, led respectively by Ferhat Sokolovic, Sanjak-bey of Bosnia, and by the Venetian nobleman Giacomo Soranzo. The negotiations took place in pavilions erected in Biljane, near Zadar; they were later moved to Skradin and fi nally to Solin during the summer of 1576. The Venetian government was highly satisfi ed with the new borderline, which led to relatively improved relations between the two states that lasted until the War of Candia (1645–69).

  • The Origins of the Hispano-Ottoman 'Peace' of the 1570S and 1580S
    From the ridiculous to the sublime: the origins of the Hispano- Ottoman ‘peace’ of the 1570s and 1580s Professor M. J. Rodríguez-Salgado, The London School of Economics and Political Sciences Budapest, May 2012 Periods of war are often, paradoxically, a time when enemies have more frequent contact. This was certainly the case in the 1570s. The war required both sides to pay for any scrap of information, making even the greatest king beholden to the lowliest and most disreputable spy. Battles led to mass exchanges of captives. At Lepanto in 1571 thousands of ottomans were taken; the capture of La Goleta by the ottoman-corsair forces under Euldj Ali resulted in large numbers of Christian captives being sent east. Its recovery by the hispano-italian troops of Philip II in 1573 led to mass movements the other way, before its fall in 1574 to Euldj Ali’s forces redressed the balance and added to the flow of human misery. Captivity provided an unwelcome but often valuable opportunity to get to know the enemy, and it led to the creation of networks to ransom, rescue and succour captives, opening doors to a two- way traffic. Often, high-ranking captives were used by both sides to test the waters for peace negotiations. Peace was born from the ashes of war. The Ottoman Grand Vizir, Mehmet Sokolli, identified three peace initiatives originating from Philip II in the 1570s which involved captives: the missions of Jaime Losada, Giovanni Bareli and don Martín de Acuña. Bareli was a knight of St John of Malta, Losada and Acuña were fairly high-ranking military commanders in Philip II’s forces.

  • The Cypriot Jews Under the Venetian Rule (1489-1571)
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA * Vol. 6 Kraków 2008 Łukasz Burkiewicz The Cypriot Jews under the Venetian Rule (1489-1571) In 1291 the sultan of Mamluks Al-Malik as-Ashraf took from the crusaders Acre, the last significant redoubt of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. 1 Since then Cyprus became the easternmost outpost of Christianity. For centuries, Cyprus had been a place of rest for crusaders, pilgrims, sailors and merchants on their way from Europe to Palestine, Syria, Anatolia or Egypt. The island was a kind of tower at the point of junction of three continents and its closeness to the Muslim coast made it play a significant role in the exchange between the Christian world and the East, attracting also numerous Jews. 2 Venice had been interested in Cyprus for a long time. Already in 1464 the king of Cyprus James II of Lusignan (1460-1473) reigned in agreement with Venice and, to tighten the relations between the two countries, he married a Venetian Catherine Comaro. In 1473 king Jacob II of Lusignan died. From then on, Catherine Comaro ruled on her own and Venice gained stronger and stronger influence on the island. In 1489 Queen Comaro, in the face of growing Turkish threat, handed over the control of the island to the Republic of Venice. The period of the rule of Venice finished in 1571 along with the Turkish conquest of Cyprus. In the period of Venetian dominance over the island, Jews became an important part of the society, taking a strong position in the economy of Cyprus. They were present in soap, oil and carpet trade, they dealt with usury and maintained commercial relations with Rhodes, Chios, Ephesus, Damascus and Alexandria.3 The basic studies concerning the presence of Jews in Cyprus during the Venetian reign on the island are the studies of S.
