  • Money, Power, Politics, and the Great Salonika Fire of 1917 Minna Rozen
    Money, Power, Politics, and the Great Salonika Fire of 1917 Minna Rozen Jewish Social Studies, Volume 22, Number 2, Winter 2017, pp. 74-115 (Article) Published by Indiana University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/649093 Access provided by University of Haifa (28 Feb 2017 12:12 GMT) Money, Power, Politics, and the Great Salonika Fire of 1917 Minna Rozen Abstract In August 1917, a fire broke out in a crowded quarter on the northwest side of Salonika. It eventually destroyed the historical center of the city, including the homes and property of more than 70,000 people, most of them Jews. The Greek government enacted a law for the reparceling and reconstruction of the burned-out area, which aroused anger and concern among Salonikan Jews, who understood it as a scheme to push them out of the city. The scholarly discussion of this crucial event in the history of the city and its Jewish community has revolved mainly around two main foci: the role of the fire as a much- needed opportunity to modernize the city and the question whether the rebuilding plan was a calculated scheme to Hellenize Salonika at the expense of the Jewish community. This latter debate is part of the wider discussion of the place of European Jewry in the transition from empire to nation-state. In this paper, the repercussions of the fire will be discussed from another perspective, namely, the role played by members of the local Jewish political and social elite in the aftermath of the fire.

  • Ottoman Remains and Treasures in Hungary
    OTTOMAN REMAINS AND TREASURES IN HUNGARY GEZA FEHER* In Hungary, the remains of Turkish architecture, of which only a small part have survived, belong to the domain of a specific culture. But their cultural historical and artistic value is much more important that the number of the buildings that have been preserved up to this day or that of those remains that are stili hidden in the ground, which are available to archeological research. The aim of the present —rather short— paper is to give a brief summary of the pieces of knowledge we have concerning Ottoman architecture in Hungary. Relying on Turkish, Hungarian, and Western sources, we can state that from the beginning of the conquest /the thirties and forties of the 16th centuryI to the middle of the 17th century, in the parts of Hungary under Turkish rule, about 1.000 —more or less large— Turkish buildings had come into being, chiefly serving the purposes of religion. Western cop- per engravings, which are, however, of high artistic value, convincingly prove, too that in the territories under Turkish rule, Hungarian townscapes had been transformed. But this change was far from being so profound and fundamental than that of the look of the towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina or in Albania. The building activity of the Turks in Hungary is a long-debated issue. The scholarly view that holds that the conquerors did not undertake monumental constructions and that they were content with the transfor- mation of relatively small buildings found on the spot is only an unground- ed hypothesis that has only slight foundations in reality.

  • Heritage Architecture 2016)
    M. Loukma & M. Stefanidou, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 1 (2017), 78–88 THE MORPHOLOGY AND TYPOLOGY OF THE OTTOMAN MOSQUES OF NORTHERN GREECE M. LOUKMA & M. STEFANIDOU Laboratory of Building Materials, School of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece ABSTRACT The present study is an effort to categorize the Ottoman mosques in Greece at the region of Macedonia that have survived up until today. Categorization is the first step to study and understand each monu- ment, in order to record its preservation state as well as to document the morphology and the typology of the existing mosques. The result of this study is to determine the appropriate way of intervention for the conservation and preservation of mosques. This study includes a total of 19 mosques. These monuments vary in the degree of preservation. Most of them have not acquired a new purpose, while some have been restored and used as cultural spaces in the course of time. The majority of mosques are severely damaged and have multiple interventions and serious alterations, mainly due to lack of preser- vation. Some of them have received extensive interventions and have been transformed into Christian churches. According to typology, the mosques are separated into two main categories: domed ‘single- unit’ mosques and ‘multi-function’ mosques. Concerning the categorization data of the mosques of Macedonia many issues emerge, such as the lack of classification and the difficulty in dating them. As a result, today it is extremely difficult to separate the construction phases of the buildings and to determine their original form.
