OĞUZA AYDEMIRA U proljeće 2017. godine moja prijateljica gđa Romana Radojčić iz Šibenika od- vela me u Memorijalni centar Faust Vrančić na otoku Prviću. Prije toga posjeta, tijekom izleta u Knin i Drniš s ciljem posjeta osmanskim ruševinama, ravna- telj šibenskoga Gradskog muzeja, g. Željko Krnčević, poklonio mi je knjižicu o Memorijalnom centru Faust Vrančić, pomoću kojega sam po prvi put čuo za istanbulska pisma Antuna Vrančića. Čitajući sadržaj na engleskom jeziku, treba- lo mi je nešto vremena da shvatim gdje su ta pisma bila pohranjena. Nadalje, mnogo sam zahvalan i gđi Radojčić i g. Krnčeviću jer su mi omogu- ćili da postavim informativnu ploču o Rustem-paši, osmanskom velikom veziru i zetu sultana Sulejmana Veličanstvenog, na ulazu u grad Skradin, u kojem se Rustem-paša rodio. Kad je g. Anđelko Vlašić uspio pribaviti spomenuta pisma, čiji su latinski ori- ginali pohranjeni u Nacionalnoj knjižnici Széchényi u Budimpešti, i prenijeti ih na memorijsku karticu, doznali smo da su pisma bila na latinskom jeziku. Morao sam strpljivo čekati da zadovoljim svoju znatiželju u vezi sa sadržajem spomenutih pisama, sve dok nisu prvo bila prevedena na hrvatski, a zatim na engleski jezik. Pisma su preveli dr. Zrinka Blažević, a zatim dr. Anđelko Vlašić, i zajedno s timom vrlo zaslužnih osoba ugostio ih je Nj.E. Babür Hızlan, turski veleposlanik u Hrvatskoj, i akademik Zvonko Kusić, predsjednik HAZU-a, uz značajnu su- radnju dr. Marijane Borić. Sretan sam što su nakon skoro petsto godina spomenuta pisma sada dostupna i na hrvatskom i na engleskom jeziku. Ovo djelo smatram dijelom našega zajedničkog nasljeđa, i vjerujem da će mno- gi znanstvenici, diplomati, povjesničari i druge zainteresirane osobe biti sretne da mogu doznati mnogo nepoznatih detalja o ovome vrlo važnom povijesnom razdoblju kroz ovaj izdavački projekt. Nakon što sam iz osobnog interesa objavio knjigu Veliki osječki most / Te Gre- at Osijek Bridge, koja je važan dio istraživanja u sklopu HAZU-a, i knjigu Tragovi osmanske kulture u Hrvatskoj / Traces of Ottoman Culture in Croatia, čvrsto vje- rujem da će ova knjiga ostaviti značajan trag moje flantropske aktivnosti. Svoju prisutnost u Hrvatskoj i objavljivanje ove knjige dugujem svojoj supruzi Dragani Luciji Ratković Aydemir. Oğuz Aydemir 10 FOREWORD BY MR. OĞUZ AYDEMIR It was the spring of 2017 when my friend Mrs. Romana Radojčić from Šibenik took me to the Faust Vrančić Memorial Center on the Prvić Island. Before this visit, during an excursion to Knin and Drniš to visit Ottoman remains, Mr. Željko Krnčević, the Director of the Šibenik City Museum gave me a booklet about the Faust Vrančić Memorial Center, from which I, for the frst time, learned about Antun Vrančić’s Istanbul letters. Reading the summary in English, it took me a while to understand where the letters were kept. Additionally, I am very thankful to both Mrs. Radojčić and Mr. Krnčević since they also made it possible for me to put an information board relating to Rüstem Pasha, the Ottoman Grand Vizier and son-in-law of Sultan Süleyman the Mag- nifcent, at the entrance to the town of Skradin, where Rüstem Pasha was born. When Mr. Anđelko Vlašić managed to obtain these letters, latin originals of which are kept in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest, and place them on a memory stick, we learned that they were all in Latin. I needed to wait eagerly to appease my curiosity about the content of these letters until they were frst translated into Croatian, and then into English. Te translation was carried out by Dr. Zrinka Blažević, and then by Dr. Anđelko Vlašić, together with a team of very signifcant people, which were welcomed by H.E. Babür Hızlan, the Turkish Ambassador to Croatia and Dr. Zvonko Kusić, the President of HAZU, in substantial cooperation with Dr. Marijana Borić. I am happy that afer almost fve hundred years, these letters that are now available in Croatian and English are coming to light. I consider this work part of our common heritage, and believe that many acad- emicians, diplomats, historians and other interested parties will be excited to learn many unknown details of this very important period through the Vrančić project. Afer publishing the book Te Great Osijek Bridge / Veliki osječki most, which was an important part of a research by HAZU, and the book Traces of Ottoman Culture in Croatia / Tragovi osmanske kulture u Hrvatskoj as my personal interest, it is my strong belief that this book will defnitely leave footprints of my philan- thropic activities. I owe my presence in Croatia and this book to my wife Dragana Lucija Ratković Aydemir. Oğuz Aydemir 11 PREDGOVOR DR. SC. MARIJANE BORIĆ Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti promiče kulturnu suradnju među zemljama i potiče zajedništvo u istraživanjima i afrmaciji kulturnog naslijeđa. Vrijedan prilog međunarodnoj suradnji Hrvatske i Turske je potpisivanje proto- kola Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti s Institutom Yunus Emre iz Tur- ske iz 2014. godine, koji je rezultirao digitalizacijom bogate Orijentalne zbirke Arhiva Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti osnovane 1927. godine. Pored velikog broja osmanskih isprava, ta zbirka sadrži i oko 2100 rukopisnih knjiga iz područja islamske religije, astronomije, medicine, astrologije, povijesti, geogra- fje, te osmanske, arapske i perzijske književnosti. Tom je prigodom dogovorena suradnja na čuvanju i digitalizaciji zajedničke kulturne baštine. Slijedom toga, načinjeni su digitalni zapisi Orijentalne zbirke koji su sada pohranjeni i u knjiž- nici Süleymaniye u Istambulu kako bi postali dostupnima turskim istraživačima i javnosti. Višestoljetna zajednička povijest zemalja koje se nalaze na nekadašnjem im- perijalnom trograničju između Habsburške Monarhije, Mletačke Republike i Osmanskog carstva nepresušno je izvorište za osmišljavanje znanstvenih pro- jekata usmjerenih ka novim istraživanjima i novim načinima prezentiranja te dragocjene baštine. Upravo to su neki od ciljeva ovog vrijednog izdanja prijevo- da izabranih latinskih pisama Antuna Vrančića. Premda je Mađarska akademija znanosti već sredinom 19. stoljeća objavila cjelokupan Vrančićev opus unutar se- rije Monumenta Hungariae Historica - Scriptores, dosada je u Hrvatskoj objavljen samo dio bogatog Vrančićeva opusa koji se sastoji od historiografskih i teoloških djela te poezije i opsežne korespondencije. Stoga je Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti kao vodeća domaća insti- tucija nadležna za promicanje znanstvenih istraživanja i afrmaciju hrvatske kul- turne baštine prepoznala iznimno kulturno i znanstveno značenje objavljivanja carigradskih pisama Antuna Vrančića. Začetnik ideje o izdavanju Vrančićevih carigradskih pisama je gosp. Oğuz Aydemir, turski flantrop koji je već ranije surađivao s Hrvatskom akademijom znanosti i umjetnosti na izdavanju knjige Te Great Osijek Bridge / Veliki osječki most. Gosp. Aydemir obratio se Akade- miji s ciljem da ona podrži ovaj hvalevrijedan projekt. Zahvaljujući ovom izda- nju, Vrančićeva diplomatska izvješća bit će objavljena u prijevodu na hrvatski i engleski jezik. Hrvatska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti u skladu sa svojom misijom i ciljevima te brigom o hrvatskoj kulturnoj baštini i njenoj afrmaciji u svijetu u potpunosti je

  • The History of World Civilization. 3 Cyclus (1450-2070) New Time ("New Antiquity"), Capitalism ("New Slaveownership"), Upper Mental (Causal) Plan
    The history of world civilization. 3 cyclus (1450-2070) New time ("new antiquity"), capitalism ("new slaveownership"), upper mental (causal) plan. 19. 1450-1700 -"neoarchaics". 20. 1700-1790 -"neoclassics". 21. 1790-1830 -"romanticism". 22. 1830-1870 – «liberalism». Modern time (lower intuitive plan) 23. 1870-1910 – «imperialism». 24. 1910-1950 – «militarism». 25.1950-1990 – «social-imperialism». 26.1990-2030 – «neoliberalism». 27. 2030-2070 – «neoromanticism». New history. We understand the new history generally in the same way as the representatives of Marxist history. It is a history of establishment of new social-economic formation – capitalism, which, in difference to the previous formations, uses the economic impelling and the big machine production. The most important classes are bourgeoisie and hired workers, in the last time the number of the employees in the sphere of service increases. The peasants decrease in number, the movement of peasants into towns takes place; the remaining peasants become the independent farmers, who are involved into the ware and money economy. In the political sphere it is an epoch of establishment of the republican system, which is profitable first of all for the bourgeoisie, with the time the political rights and liberties are extended for all the population. In the spiritual plan it is an epoch of the upper mental, or causal (later lower intuitive) plan, the humans discover the laws of development of the world and man, the traditional explanations of religion already do not suffice. The time of the swift development of technique (Satan was loosed out of his prison, according to Revelation 20.7), which causes finally the global ecological problems.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

  • Before the Odalisque: Renaissance Representations of Elite Ottoman Women Heather Madar
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2011, vol. 6 Before the Odalisque: Renaissance Representations of Elite Ottoman Women Heather Madar he much-mythologized harem of the Ottoman sultans occupied a Tcentral place in European Orientalist thought for centuries.1 The harem, presented as an exotic world of forbidden sexuality inhabited by compliant yet sexually voracious women, appears in literature, art, and travel writing. While the most famous expressions of this harem fixa- tion date from later centuries,2 a focus on the harem as libidinous zone is demonstrably present in written sources from the sixteenth century. Yet an exploration of sixteenth-century European images turns up a surprising dearth of imagery in this vein. While Renaissance art lacks the languid odalisques or detailed views of the physical environment of the sultan’s harem familiar from later works, a series of largely overlooked representa- tions of elite Ottoman women do exist. Dating from the mid-sixteenth century, these images feature imagined portraits of sultanas — elite women such as Ottoman princesses, the sultan’s mother (valide sultan), or the sul- tan’s preferred concubine (haseki).3 Hurrem, the wife of sultan Süleyman, and his daughter Mihrimah appear most frequently in this genre. Yet strik- ing differences are immediately evident between their depiction and later, more familiar, views of the harem and harem women. The women shown in the Renaissance tradition were members of the sultan’s harem, yet they are not shown within a harem setting, nor do the images make reference to it. Although they are visually marked as Other, largely through the atten- tion given to their exotic dress, they are also presented as women who are of interest as individuals, possessing status and political significance.

  • DANUBIAN REVIEW Could Not Fail to Evoke Interest in England, Too
    HUNGARIANS OF THE 16th AND 17th CENTURIES IN ENGLISH LITERATURE BY EUGENE PI VAN Y nglish interest in Hungary and the Hungarians flowed and ebbed largely in accordance with certain political E and religious movements. The rise of Ottoman power, which Byzantium and the Balkan States proved unable to resist, continued in the 16th and 17th centuries, the ultimate object of the Sublime Porte being the conquest of the Holy Roman Empire. King Louis II, of Hungary having lost his life in the fateful battle of Mohacs fought in 1526 against Suleiman the Magnificent, the crown of Hungary came into the possession of Louis' brother-in-law, Ferdinand of Habs- burg, who was the brother of Emperor Charles V., and was elected on the latter's demise Emperor himself. Though Hun­ gary has never belonged in public law to the Holy Roman Empire (which — to use the words of Gibbon — was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire), the final struggle was fought out mostly on Hungarian territory. Hungary was torn into three parts: Transylvania was ruled by Hungarian, generally Protestant princes acknowledging Turkish suzerainty, the central part of Hungary proper was under direct Turkish rule, and the northwestern part was ruled by the Habsburg Kings of Hungary, more often than not in opposition to Hungarian sentiment and in violation of the laws of the country. The Hun­ garians had, thus, to sacrifice life and property in defence of western civilisation in a war lasting, with few interruptions, about two centuries, during which period they were compelled several tmes to rise against their own kings to regain their constitutional liberties and religious freedom.
