    chapter 9 Orthodoxy and Politics: The Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, the Prince Mihnea III Radu of Walachia and the Great Church of Constantinople1 Ovidiu Olar Even a fool, if he questioneth about wisdom, shall be counted wise … Prov. 17: 28 ∵ “Warnerus hath been my condiscipulus at Bremen, found always a very honest and studious man, and a singular lover of ye oriental tongues”—that is how Henry Oldenburg, the first secretary of the Royal Society, portrayed the Dutch Resident in İstanbul in a letter dated November 19, 1659.2 Undoubtedly, the testimonial was accurate.3 After publishing several tracts, which substantiated a solid scholarly reputation, the Lippe-born, Leiden-educated Levinus Warner had chosen to head east, towards the spellbinding capital of the Ottoman Empire (1644). Turning his back on the comfort of an academic career, and in 1 I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Scaliger Institute (Leiden).

  • Rolling Stones Do Gather: MS Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610 and Its Collection of Mineralogical Texts
    Lucia Raggetti Rolling Stones Do Gather: MS Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610 and Its Collection of Mineralogical Texts Abstract: In the multiple-text manuscript (MTM) Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610, around a peculiar recension of the Pseudo-Aristotle On Stones, a constellation of texts dealing with stones, mineral and their use has gathered. This collection of texts represents an anthology of many different streams of tradition received in the early Abbasid time by the Arabo-Islamic cultural milieu, alongside with some of original compositions from the same period inspired by the reception of ancient and late-antique knowledge. The comparison with another MTM on stones, Paris BnF 2775, shows the formation of clusters of texts around a central one―that becomes the driving force of the collection―and their circulation as such. The focus on the layout and other codicological features of Aya Sofya 3610 reveals an interest for some of these technical materials in the late Mamluk time and hints at their possible inclusion in the Mamluk curriculum. 1 The collection of texts The multiple-text manuscript (MTM) Istanbul Aya Sofya 3610 transmits the most inclusive version of the Pseudo-Aristotle (hereafter Ps. Aristotle) On Stones, along with a number of other technical texts about stones, minerals, and their manipulation.1 The elements of its textual architecture represent a summa of the different streams of tradition collected in the early Abbasid period (ninth to tenth centu- ry), deeply embedded in the multilingual atmosphere of the translation move- ment. These texts deal with minerals, stones, talismans, amulets, and mineral ingredients for medicine and alchemy.

The sheer number of manuscripts makes this impossible. At a later stage this may be achieved, but trying to achieve this at the present stage of inventorizing would seriously hamper the progress of the present project.

  • Unha Tradución Ó Galego Da Proverbiorum Et Sententiarum
    Unha tradución ó galego da Proverbiorum et sententiarum persicarum centuria de Levin Warner (1644) A translation to Galician of Levin Warner's “Proverbiorum ac Sententiarum Persicarum Centuria” (1644) Francisco Millán Rodríguez Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades. Santiago de Compostela Resumo: En 1644 publicouse en Leiden a Proverbiorum et sententiarum Persicarum Centuria. Preséntase aquí a que posiblemente sexa a primeira tradución a unha lingua moderna deste traballo, ó galego neste caso. Abrindo as fronteiras da fraseoloxía actual búscase, con ela, amplia-lo espectro investigador tanto cara ó Oriente como cara ó pasado; facilítase así achegamento a un traballo pioneiro no seu tempo en moitos aspectos, entre eles por conte-las primeiras traducións directas do persa ó latín. As súas moitas referencias bíblicas e ós clásicos grecolatinos permiten, por outra parte, entendelo como un punto de encontro entre diversas culturas. Palabras clave: século XVII, paremioloxía, persa, latín, cristiandade, islam. Abstract: In 1644 the ‘Proverbiorum et sententiarum Persicarum Centuria’ was published. Hereby is presented this work’s translation into Galician, which is possibly the first into a modern language. Opening boundaries of modern phraseology we look forward to widening the research ‘spectrum’ both towards the East and the past; an approach is thus enabled to an -at the time- pioneering work, containing, among other aspects, the first direct translations from Persian into Latin. In addition, its frequent quoting from the Bible and Greek and Roman classics allows us to understand it as a crossroad between diverse cultures. Keywords: XVIIth century, paroemiology, Persian, Latin, Christianity, Islam. Data de recepción 27.10.2014.

  • K TºB ÇELEBˆ Mu߆Af B. Fiabdull H, ˘ Cı Alıfe (B. 1609; D. 1657
    HISTORIANS OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE C. Kafadar H. Karateke C. Fleischer KTºB ÇELEBˆ Mu߆af b. fiAbdullh, ˘cı alıfe (b. 1609; d. 1657) LIFE Autobiographical sections in his Sullam al-Wußül, in one Cihnnµm autograph, and Mıznµ’l-˘aqq,1 constitute the primary source of information for entries in bio- graphical dictionaries (fiUsqızde, Seyƒı) and modern reference works on K.Ç., ar- guably the most important Ottoman intellectual figure of the 11th/17th century. K.Ç. was born in Istanbul. Sullam al-Wußül records the date of his birth as Dhul- qada 1017/February 1609. This does not correspond to Cihnnµm’s indication that he was born during the exaltation of Mercury (seref), which would correspond to late Jumada II/October 1608.2 K.Ç.’s father was a member of the cavalry of the Porte (sil˛dr) and a scribe in the fiscal administration (Anadolª mu˛sebesi). Although it is not known whether he was recruited through the devsirme, that his brother was also in the army makes it unlikely, since usually only one child per family was drafted. The sizable sum of money he inherited from his mother and from a wealthy merchant suggests that his mother came from a well-to-do family in Istanbul. After his initial instruction in a mekteb in Istanbul K.Ç. joined his father in the chancery as his apprentice in 1032/1622. In 1034/1624 father and son went on cam- paign with the army against Abaza Pasa of Erzurum (d. 1044/1634), continuing with the campaign to recapture Badd (1035/1625-26) and a second campaign against Abaza Pasa (1037/1627-28).

  • Ottoman Foreign Policy During the Thirty Years War
    MAHMUT HALEF CEVR˙IOGLUˇ OTTOMAN FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE THIRTY YEARS WAR It wouldn’t be unfair to regard the Thirty Years War as an early mod- ern precursor to the World Wars with regards to its political dimension, social effects and devastating results within the European Continent. However, it is not justified to leave the non-European actors of the war neglected in modern historiography. This study, therefore, is an attempt to measure to what extent the Ottoman Empire was getting involved in European politics between the years 1618 and 1648.1 The major stages of war in which the military and diplomatic relations were taking place in the early modern era corresponded to the Ottoman western frontier. Central Europe at the time was actually a neighbouring geography for the Ottoman Empire due to the Ottoman suzerainty over the Hungarian territories of the empire since 1541. This area was a con- tentious zone of interest between the Austrian Habsburg and Ottoman dynasties for the rest of the century and it took a relatively stable final form after the conclusion of the so called Long Wars between 1593 and 1606.

And since it is beyond the scope of this study, general themes and chronology of the war can be consulted from Parker’s (1997) and Wedgwood’s (1992) seminal works provided in the bibliography below.

  • Qur'an and Bible
    International Workshop: Qur’an and Bible ABSTRACTS Online conference organized by the University of Notre Dame and by the ERC project “The European Qur’an” Bible and Qur’an at the Council of Basel (1431-1449) John TOLAN, Université de Nantes The Council of Basel (1431-1449) represented the high water mark of the conciliar movement, which sought to achieve peace and unity in the through collective governance of the Church. The Gospels and Epistles provided conciliarists with a model of collective authority to oppose the papal notions of the pope as vicar of Christ. Two of the most fervent advocates of the conciliar model, Juan de Segovia and Nicolas of Cusa, met at Basel and studied the Qur’an together. The lasting impact of this discovery of the Qur’an, seen in their later works (Nicolas’ De pace fidei and Cribatio Alkorani and Juan’s Qur’an translation) have been widely studied. Less attention has been paid to how both of them reflected on Qur’an and Bible to hone theological arguments at the council, on subjects ranging from the Immaculate conception to the universal pretensions of the Church. While both authors were subsequently to use the Qur’an in anti-Muslim polemics, it had also become for them an intellectual tool for other purposes. In this, Basel represents a watershed in European approaches to the Qur’an, and of the relationship between Qur’an and bible. 1 Inmates of Hell: From Qurʾanic Debate to Medieval Catholic Thought David BERTAINA, University of Illinois, Springfield In the Qurʾan, we find God warning Muhammad not to pray for polytheists, even those who were close kin, since “they will be inmates of hell” (Q 9:113).
