Először is köszönetet szeretnék mondani témavezetőmnek, Kökény Andrea egyetemi adjunk- tusnak munkám során megfogalmazott hasznos észrevételeiért. Ott volt tudományos kutatása- im kezdetekor és mindig segített, amikor szükségem volt rá. Szintén köszönetet szeretnék mondani J. Nagy László egyetemi tanárnak doktori tanulmányaim során nyújtott segítségéért. Ő volt az, aki felkeltette érdeklődésemet a Magreb történelme iránt. Nagylelkű támogatásának köszönhetően 2012-ben, első alkalommal kutathattam Tunéziában. A munka elkészítését segítették a pénzügyi támogatások. Köszönhetően az ERASMUS ösztön- díjnak lehetőségem volt Máltán tanulni félévet (2011–2012-es tanév 2. félév). A Máltai Egye- temen megismertem a Szent János Lovagrend történetét és a máltai korzó jellegzetességeit. Külön köszönetet szeretnék mondani Victor Mallia-Milanesnek, az Ispotályos Tanulmányok mester képzés vezetőjének Máltán való tartózkodtam során nyújtott segítségéért. 2013-ban Berlinben a John F. Kennedy–Institut für Nordamerikastudien (JFKI) végeztem kutatómunkát a Campus Hungary ösztöndíj keretén belül. Ezen intézmény mellett lehetősé- gem volt forrásgyűjtésre a Staatsbibliothek zu Berlinben, a Bibliothek des Instituts für Islamwissenschaft-ben és az Universitätsbibliothekben. Köszönhetően a programnak szintén kutathattam Tunéziában 2014-ben. Ezen időszak alatt elsődleges- és másodlagos forrásokat gyűjtöttem a Biblothèque de Université de Sousse-ban, az Archives Nationales de Tunisie-ban, a Biblothèque Nationale de Tunisie-ban és a Le Centre d’Etudes Maghrébines à Tunisban (CEMAT). Emellett, köszönhetően Mehdi Jerad egyetemi adjunktusnak két előadást is tartot- tam az Université de Sousse-on. Itt szeretném kifejezni nagyrabecsülésemet Mehdi Jeradnak, aki mellettem volt első kutatása- im során Tuniszban (2012) és Angelika Kriesernek, a JFKI vezető könyvtárosának, aki segí- tett Berlinben és az egyetemen is. Továbbá köszönöm Mehdi Jerad hatékony segítségét és folyamatos támogatását. Segítségével jelent meg első alkalommal külföldön két tanulmányom és egy forrásközlésem az Archives Nationales de Tunisie-ben és az Arab Historical Review for Ottoman Studiesben 2014-ben. Barátaim és kollégáim közül köszönetet mondanék Baracs Róbertnek, aki lehetővé tette szá- momra, hogy meglátogassam őt ERASMUS tanulmányai alatt Angersben, ahol több hasznos anyagot szereztem be a Bibliothèque Universitaire Belle Beille-ből. Szintén köszönettel tarto- zom Hegedűs Róbertnek és Farkas Rita Krisztinának, hogy átolvasták dolgozatomat és felhív- ták figyelmem az abban található nyelvi hibákra. Szintén köszönetet mondok a következő kutatóknak: Ferwágner Péter Ákosnak, Kövér Lajosnak, Emmanuel Buttigiegnek, Stephen C. Spiterinek, Joseph Grimának, Sadok Boubakernek és Mabrouk Jebahinek. Végül, de nem utolsósorban szívből jövő hála és elismerés jár családom tagjainak, akik éve- ken keresztül támogatták tudományos céljaim elérését. Támogatásuk nélkül ez a disszertáció nem készülhetett volna el. Szeged, 2016. szeptember iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Soli Deo gratia! First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Andrea Kökény, senior assistant professor, for her useful remarks during my work. From the very beginning of my academic research she has been there and always helped me when I needed. I also would like to thank László J. Nagy, full professor, for all his help during my doctoral studies. He was the one who aroused my interest in the history of the Maghreb. Thanks to his generous assistance I could do my first research abroad in Tunisia in 2012. Financial support made the completion of this project easier. An ERASMUS Scholarship gave me the opportunity to study in Malta for a semester (spring semester, 2011-2012). At the L- Università ta’ Malta I got to know the history of the Order of Saint John and the characteristics of Maltese corsairing. I would like to say special thanks to Victor Mallia- Milanes, Head of the Hospitaller Studies (M.A.) program for his help during my stay in Malta. I did my research in Berlin at the John F. Kennedy–Institut für Nordamerikastudien (JFKI) in 2013 with the help of a Campus Hungary Scholarship. Besides this institute, I also had the opportunity to collect source materials at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, the Bibliothek des Instituts für Islamwissenschaft and the Universitätsbibliothek. I also visited Tunisia thanks to this scholarship in 2014. During this period I collected primary and secondary sources at the Biblothèque de Université de Sousse, the Archives Nationales de Tunisie, the Biblothèque Nationale de Tunisie and the Le Centre d’Etudes Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT). In addition, I also held two lectures at the Université de Sousse thanks to Mehdi Jerad, senior assistant professor. I would like to express my great gratitude to Mehdi Jerad who accompanied my first steps of research in Tunis (2012) and for Angelika Krieser, Acting Head Librarian at JFKI who helped me in Berlin and in the University Campus. In addition, I also thank for the effective help and sustained support of Mr Jerad. Thanks to his help, two of my academic papers and an edited source presention have been published abroad for the firs time in the Archives Nationales de Tunisie and in the Arab Historical Review for Ottoman Studies for the first time in 2014. From my friends and colleagues I would like to thank Róbert Baracs who allowed me to visit him in Angers during his ERASMUS studies where I gathered useful material at the Bibliothèque Universitaire Belle Beille. I also thank Róbert Hegedűs and Rita Krisztina Far- kas for proof reading my thesis and drawing my attention to some linguistic errors within it. In addition, I also appreciate the guidance of the following researchers: Ákos Péter Ferwágner, Lajos Kövér, Emmanuel Buttigieg, Stephen C. Spiteri, Joseph Grima, Sadok Boubaker and Mabrouk Jebahi. Last but not least, my hearty gratitude and recognition go to my family who provided support to my academic pursuits for decades. Without their support this dissertation would not have been completed.

  • Sous Le Toit De L'empire, La Régence De Tunis 1535
    Comptes rendus d’ouvrages Leila TEMIME BLILI : Sous le toit de l’Empire, la Régence de Tunis 1535 – 1666, Genèse d’une province ottomane au Maghreb, Tunis, éditions Script, 2012, 365 p. Le livre de Dr. Blili, par son texte souvent descriptif et narratif, ses chapitres assez courts et divisés en sections, et par l’emploi d’une transcription simple pour les mots arabes, révèle le souci de l’auteure d’atteindre, au-delà du noyau académique visé par toute recherche, le commun des lecteurs. Ambition louable, et il existe, dans la littérature historique, des exemples réussis d’ouvrages qui s’adressent au large public afin de l’engager dans une réflexion sur l’histoire de la société à laquelle il appartient (ou de toute autre société), et qui allient la simplicité du texte à la rigueur de la méthode. Le sujet d’étude de Dr. Blili, comme elle l’indique dans l’introduction de l’ouvrage, est celui de la formation sociale et territoriale de l’entité tunisienne à l’aube des temps modernes, et porte sur une période couvrant la plus grande partie du seizième siècle et la première moitié du dix-septième. Cette analyse a pour corollaire, direct ou implicite, l’évaluation de la présence et de l’influence de l’empire ottoman, qui étendit sa domination sur le Maghreb central et oriental durant cette période - thème qui, jusqu’à assez récemment, n’a bénéficié que d’une attention superficielle dans l’historiographie de la Tunisie ottomane -, mais qui est mis en exergue dans le titre de l’ouvrage de Dr.

  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

  • The Sykes-Picot Agreement, 1916
    People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research Larbi Ben M’hidi University-Oum El Bouaghi Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of English British Foreign Policy Towards the Ottoman Empire: The Sykes-Picot Agreement, 1916 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Letters and Languages, Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Anglo –American studies By: Belhatem Romaissa Jury: Supervisor: Dr. Maameri Fatima Chairman: Filali Bilel Examiner: Merah Fatima 2018-2019 ABSTRACT Instability in the Middle East today is a result of old commercial and diplomatic relations between England and the Ottoman Empire that ended in antagonisms. The 16 th century marked the early modern encounter between England and the Ottoman Empire. From trade initiatives via the Levant Company to foreign policy, the Anglo-Ottoman relations were established. In the 19 th century,however, the balance of power had changed. The Ottoman Empire witnessed continuous domestic and international crises and loss of power. To weaken the internally and to accomplish its imperialistic goals, Britain supported Arabs’ aspirations for independence from Ottoman rule. Meanwhile, in secret negotiations with France, Britain planned for the division of the Ottoman Empire’s possessions in the Middle East amongst them. In 1916, the British and French representatives Sir Mark Sykes and François George Picot signed a secret agreement, known as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which partitioned the Middle East region into spheres of influence and redraw the map of the entire region. ﻣﻠﺨـــــــــــــــــﺺ ﺇﻥ ﻋﺪﻡ ﺍﻻﺳﺘﻘﺮﺍﺭ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻕ ﺍﻷﻭﺳﻂ ﺍﻟﻴﻮﻡ ﻫﻮ ﻧﺘﻴﺠﺔ ﻟﻠﻌﻼﻗﺎﺕ ﺍﻟﺘﺠﺎﺭﻳﺔ ﻭﺍﻟﺪﺑﻠﻮﻣﺎﺳﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻘﺪﻳﻤﺔ ﺑﻴﻦ ﺇﻧﺠﻠﺘﺮﺍ ﻭﺍﻹﻣﺒﺮﺍﻁﻮﺭ ﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻌﺜﻤﺎﻧﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ ﺍﻧﺘﻬﺖ ﺑﺎﻟﻌﺪﺍء ، ﺷﻬ ﺪ ﺍﻟﻘﺮﻥ ﺍﻟﺴﺎﺩﺱ ﻋﺸﺮ ﺍﻟﻠﻘﺎء ﺍﻟﻤﺒﻜﺮ ﺑﻴﻦ ﺇ ﻧﺠﻠﺘﺮﺍ ﻭﺍﻹﻣﺒﺮﺍﻁﻮﺭﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻌﺜﻤﺎﻧﻴﺔ ، ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺒﺎﺩﺭﺍﺕ ﺍﻟﺘﺠﺎﺭﻳﺔ ﻋﺒﺮ ﺷﺮﻛﺔ ﺑﻼﺩ ﺍﻟﺸﺎﻡ ﺇﻟﻰ ﺍﻟﺴﻴﺎﺳﺔ ﺍﻟﺨﺎﺭﺟﻴﺔ، ﺗﻢ ﺗﺄﺳﻴﺲ ﺍﻟﻌﻼﻗﺎﺕ ﺍﻷﻧﺠﻠﻮ - ﻋﺜﻤﺎﻧﻴﺔ.

Introduction Ideas such as those of Abduh were ‘in the air ’ in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. We find similar groups of reformers in all the more advanced of the Muslim countries, and perhaps it is too simple to explain them in terms of the influence of al -Afghani and Abduh. It could be said as an alternative, that [the Journal] Al -Urwa al -Wuthqa 1 could only have had its influence because there were already little groups of Muslims thinking on the lines which it made popular.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-85164-0 — A History of Algeria James McDougall Excerpt More Information Introduction Beni Saf is a fishing port on the steep cliffs of the Algerian coastline that climbs north-eastwards from the Moroccan border: a collage of multi- coloured, cubed houses – blue, ochre and yellow – superimposed upon each other against a green hillside above the bay. The local deposits of iron ore that for a century provided employment in mining have been exhausted since the mid-1980s, and the port’s famous sardines are becoming rarer and more expensive, but in midsummer the town attracts families and groups of friends who rent houses and spend their short holidays by the sea. A little under a hundred kilometres to the west, at Marsa Ben Mehidi, are beaches where conservative families take their vacations, where women in loose clothes and headscarves swim during the day and take in concerts by rap artists on the boardwalk by night. At a similar distance further east, the coast turns a corner and comes in sight of the long, red Mujurjo mountain that towers over the city of Oran and the dizzying sheer walls of Santa Cruz, the sixteenth-century Spanish fortress that stands on the peak of the mountain above the sea. Here, the Thursday evening weekend road from Les Andalouses to Aïn al-Turk, where men wear shorts, girls bathe in bikinis and young couples hold hands, is packed with cars moving along the uninterrupted chain of grills, barbeques and hotels. One of them sports its name, ‘Beach House’, the English words spelled out in Arabic script, juxtaposed to the respectable designation aparthotel familial.

The delegation was led by Muḥammad bin ʿUthman al-Miknāsī (d. 1799), who left a detailed account of the mission in his extant text Al-Iksīr fī fikāk al-asīr (The Elixir That Will Liberate the Prisoner). When juxtaposed on the historical record, al-Miknāsī’s travelogue illustrates how Muḥammad III and the Moroccan religio-political elite navigated the complex Mediterranean web of religious identity, political allegiance, and ethnicity. Positing a division between “tempo- ral” and “spiritual” sovereignty increases our understanding of how Muḥammad III substanti- ated his authority on multiple levels in relation to Spain, Ottoman-Algeria, and the Sublime Porte in Istanbul.
