  • Mongol Aristocrats and Beyliks in Anatolia
    MONGOL ARISTOCRATS AND BEYLIKS IN ANATOLIA. A STUDY OF ASTARĀBĀDĪ’S BAZM VA RAZM* Jürgen Paul Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg Abstract This paper is about beyliks – political entities that include at least one town (or a major fortress or both), its agricultural hinterland and a (large) amounts of pasture. It is also about Mongols in Anatolia in the beylik period (in particular the second half of the 14th century) and their leading families some of whom are presented in detail. The paper argues that the Eretna sultanate, the Mongol successor state in Anatolia, underwent a drawn-out fission process which resulted in a number of beyliks. Out of this number, at least one beylik had Mongol leaders. Besides, the paper argues that Mongols and their leading families were much more important in this period than had earlier been assumed. arge parts of Anatolia came under Mongol rule earlier than western Iran. The Mongols had won a resounding victory over the Rum L Seljuqs at Köse Dağ in 1243, and Mongols then started occupying winter and summer pastures in Central and Eastern Anatolia, pushing the Turks and Türkmens to the West and towards the coastal mountain ranges. Later, Mongol Anatolia became part of the Ilkhanate, and this province was one of the focal points of Ilkhanid politics and intrigues.1 The first troops, allegedly three tümens, had already been dispatched to Anatolia by ———— * Research for this paper was conducted in the framework of Sonderforschungsbereich 586 (“Differenz und Integration”, see www.nomadsed.de), hosted by the universities at Halle-Wittenberg and Leipzig and funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.

Lowry & Ass. Prof. Derya Gürses Tarbuck June, 2014, 199 pages Claims of holy war characterized the Middle Ages in both Muslim Anatolia and Christian Europe, where soldiers on both sides were portrayed as holy warriors. Named gazis, akıncıs, alps, chevaliers and knights, they came from the elite military classes. Literary depictions of these men as holy warriors were fundamentally idealized topoi created by writers who were patronized by or were close to those in power.

  • TURKIC HISTORY from the Huns to the Ottoman Empire
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE TURKIC HISTORY From the Huns to the Ottoman Empire The course is an overview of Turkic history roughly from the 1st century BC to the 20th century, a period which covers about two thousand years of the history of the Turks. The course covers the topics from the emergence of the Turks in Central Asian theatre to the end of the Ottoman Empire. The Turks first emerged in the northeast of present Mongolia in the steps between the Orkhon and Selenga rivers. They most possibly moved from Siberian taiga sometimes within the first millenium BC to these areas, and reached to the Lake Balkash steps and northern Tien Shan region in 300 AD. The oldest, and the holiest term in the Turkic languages, Tengri, which means both sky and transcendent religious power, appears in Chinese texts in the third century. Though the Chinese religious texts mentions Tengri as far back as the 3rd century BC, the first Turkic speaking people had their place in history in the 4th century in the area surrounded with Tien Shan, Siberia and Mongolia. The contents of the course are as follows: 1. The Turkic World: Geography, Culture and Language 2. The Hsiung-nu and the Hun Empires 3. The Turkish Empire 4. Uyghur and Khazar Khanates 5. Conversion of the Turks to Islam 6. The Muslim Turkish States: The Ghaznevids and Karahanids 7. The Great Seljuk Empire 8. The Seljuk Sultanate of Rum (Anatolia) 9. The Rise of the Ottoman Power in Western Anatolia and the Byzantine Challenge 10. Tamerlane and the Last Turkic Empire of the Silk Road 11.

  • The Ottomans
    The Ottomans From humble origins as a small emirate in Northwest Anatolia, the Ottomans rose to become one of the greatest Islamic empires in history. For centuries they stood as a world power, the centre of the Islamic world and a serious competitor to the West. The Ottoman dynasty began as one of a number of Anatolian beyliks, or emirates, in the late AH 7th / AD 13th century. Gradually they overcame their neighbours to become the strongest Muslim power in the region and, when they put an end to the Byzantine Empire by conquering Constantinople (Istanbul) in AH 857 / AD 1453, their status as an international power was secure. Further conquests over the 9th–10th / 15th–16th centuries gave the Ottomans control over an empire spanning much of the Mediterranean, southeastern Europe, the Arabian Peninsula, and of course Anatolia. This vast empire was governed under Topkap# Palace a highly centralised system, with the centre of power in Istanbul. Supreme Construction began in hegira 9th authority rested with the sultan, although he was constrained by Islamic century / AD 15th century, during law. An extensive network of local governors ensured that the imperial writ the reign of Sultan Mehmed II (his was observed throughout the Ottoman lands. Ottoman art was profoundly second reign: AH 855–86 / AD influenced by this centralised system.

  • Beylikler Döneminde Eski Anadolu Türkçesinin Yazı Dili Olarak Ihyası
    EGEMENİN DİLİ-DİLİN EGEMENLİĞİ: BEYLİKLER DÖNEMİNDE ESKİ ANADOLU TÜRKÇESİNİN YAZI DİLİ OLARAK İHYASI 1 2 Metin ARIKAN Gaye YAVUZCAN “Diller devletlerle birlikte çoğalır; yoksa devletler dillerle birlikte çoğalmaz.” Hobsbawm Özet Ortaçağda ‘ulus’ ve ‘ulusal kimliklerin devletleşme sürecindeki etkisini tartışmaya açmanın problematik doğası bir yana, bu problemi bir de ‘ulus-dil ilişkisi’ üzerinden değerlendirmek, ilk bakışta son derece çelişkili görünmektedir. Bununla birlikte Ortaçağda da insanların kendilerini bir cemaate mensup gördüklerini göz önünde tutmak gerekir. Bu noktada esas sorun, yönetenler ve yönetilenler tarafından tanımlanan ortak cemaat dinamikleri ve bunların hangi ‘meşru’ zeminde formüle edildiğidir. Bu cemaatler, en fazla modern cemaatler kadar hayalî ve en az onlar kadar siyasal güç ve sosyal organizasyon ile ilişkili olmalıdır. Bu ilişkinin ‘resmî dili’ bugünden bakış açısıyla saptanırken, Karamanoğlu Mehmed Bey, deklare ettiği kararın arka planından ve uzamsal etkilerinden ayrı olarak değerlendirildiğinde, salt bir sembol isim mertebesinde görülebilmektedir. Başka bir ifadeyle, siyasal zeminin florasını saptamada ideolojinin sevkiyle yeniden kurgulanmış bir geçmiş inşasının romantik-milliyetçilik simgelerinden biri olarak Karamanoğlu Mehmed Bey değerlendirmesi, ideal olarak görüleni kabul edilebilir kılma çabasıyla, gerçekten olanın tarihsel ağırlığını hafife alma sonucu doğurur. Bu çalışmada egemenlik-dil ilişkileri üzerine genel bir değerlendirme yapılacak, ardından XIII.-XIV. yüzyıl Anadolu’sunda idarî dil olarak

  • When Was the Ottoman State a Gazi State?
    Linda T. DARLING 13 REFORMULATING THE GAZI NARRATIVE: WHEN WAS THE OTTOMAN STATE A GAZI STATE? “ O nion or garlic?” was how Cemal Kafadar posed the problem of the nature of the early Ottoman state.1 Was it the product of a single impulse whose nature can be discovered if we peel away enough layers, or was it formed from competing impulses, all of which left traces in the sources? Lacking definitive contemporary information, scholars have debated the true nature of early Ottoman identity, and particularly the definition and role of gaza in it, for some time without closure. It is not enough to protest that we can no longer regard the early Ottomans as zealous warriors for the faith whose purpose was to offer to the infidel Islam or the sword. To banish the stereotypes, we also need a new nar- rative of early Ottoman history, one that although tentative can be used not just as a springboard by specialists but also as a framework for teach- ing and textbooks. Linda T. DARLING, Associate Professor, The University of Arizona, Department of History, Social Sciences 215, 1145 E. South Campus Drive, Tucson, AZ 85721, United States of America.

An earlier version of the present paper was presented at the New England Medieval Conference, “Crusade, Jihad and Identity in the Medieval Mediterranean World,” Dartmouth College, Hanover NH, Oct. 3-4, 2008. The paper pays tribute to the work of Keith Hopwood, historian of pre- and early Ottoman Anatolia, who died suddenly in early 2008.
