    THE ARSENITE SCHISM AND THE BABAI REBELLION: TWO CASE STUDIES IN CENTER-PERIPHERY RELATIONS by Hüsamettin ŞİMŞİR Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Sabancı University June 2018 © Hüsamettin Şimşir 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE ARSENITE SCHISM AND THE BABAI REBELLION: TWO CASE STUDIES IN CENTER-PERIPHERY RELATIONS Hüsamettin Şimşir M.A Thesis, June 2018 Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Fac. Member Ferenc Péter Csirkés This thesis aims to present an analysis of the interaction between Christians and Muslims in the west of Asia Minor at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th centuries after two religious-social movements in the Byzantine and the Rum Seljuk Empires, the Arsenite Schism and the Babai Rebellion. After the unsuccessful rebellion of the Babais, antinomian dervishes who had migrated to the west of Asia Minor because of a heavy oppression as well as inquisition by the state and had a different religious belief apart from the mainstream religious understanding of the center initiated missionary activities in the regions along the Byzantine border. Accordingly, these dervishes had joined the military activities of the Turcoman chieftains against the Byzantines and interacted with the local Christian population and religious figures. As a result of this religious interaction, messianic and ascetic beliefs were increasingly present among the Greek-speaking population as well as spiritual leaders of western Anatolia. Since such interfaith and cross- cultural interaction had a considerable impact on the course of all these events, this thesis focuses on them to create a better understanding of the appearance of the Hesychasm in the Byzantine spiritual environment in the later period.

  • The 10Th International Congress of Byzantine Studies, Istanbul, September 15–21, 1955
    YILLIK: Annual of Istanbul Studies 1 (2019): 123-144 The 10th International Congress of Byzantine Studies, Istanbul, September 15–21, 1955 Buket Kitapçı Bayrı* Abstract The aim of this paper is to better understand the significance of International Congresses of Byzantine Studies within the Byzantine studies in general and the 10th International Congress of Byzantine Studies 1955-Istanbul, which has been overshadowed in memories by the most regretful events of 6–7 September, in particular. The paper briefly deals with the Byzantine studies and politics of culture in Turkey between 1926 and 1950s, which may have helped Istanbul’s election as the host of 10th International Congress. It focuses on the preparations for the 10th International Congress by the Turkish organizing committee and Turkish government, based on the minutes of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the archival documents of Cahide Tamer, and finally it discusses the 10th International Congress, members of the Turkish organizing committee, participants, papers, excursions, exhibitions, and publications. Keywords: Byzantine studies, International Congresses of Byzantine Studies, 10th International Congress of Byzantine Studies 1955-Istanbul, Byzantine monuments in Istanbul, politics of culture 10. Milletlerarası Bizans Tetkikleri Kongresi, İstanbul, 15-21 Eylül 1955 Özet Bu yazının amacı 1924 ile 1955 yılları arasında gerçekleşen uluslararası Bizans çalışmaları kongrelerinin Bizans çalışmalarındaki yerini, özellikle şimdiye kadar başlı başına bir araştır- manın konusu olmamış ve hatıralarda 6–7 Eylül 1955 olaylarının gölgesinde kalmış 10. Mil- letlerarası Bizans Tetkikleri Kongresi’ni ve kongrenin Türkiye’deki Bizans çalışmalarına olan etkisini incelemektir. Makale 1926 ve 1950 yılları arasında Türkiye’deki kültür politikalarına ve Bizans çalışmalarına, ikincil kaynaklar ve şimdiye kadar fazla incelenmemiş İstanbul Ar- keoloji Müzeleri müdürü Aziz Ogan’ın arşivinden faydalanarak kısaca değinmektedir.

  • The Mongols' Approach to Anatolia and the Last Campaign of Emperor John III Vatatzes
    The Mongols’ Approach to Anatolia and the Last Campaign of Emperor John III Vatatzes Koji Murata EORGIOS AKROPOLITES (ca. 1217/20–1282) in his History describes in detail the diplomacy of the emperor Gof an exiled Byzantine government, John III Vatatzes (r. 1221–1254). The narrative gives the impression that the emperor’s reign was full of campaigns to the West—the Bul- garians, Epiros, and Constantinople under the Latins. Recent studies indicate that the empire had close relationships with the East, in particular with the Rum Seljuk.1 In a broader perspec- tive, the emperor’s strategy, during the latter half of his reign, may be situated in the context of the Mongols, as discussed in depth by John S. Langdon.2 The purpose of the present article is to reexamine the generally accepted date of an imperial expedition described by Akropolites, and to place the expedition in the broader context that surrounded the ‘Nicaean’ empire. The expedition was led 1 D. A. Korobeinikov, Byzantium and the Turks in the Thirteenth Century (Oxford 2014); the articles in A. Peacock and S. N.

  • The Book Trade and Booksellers of Istanbul and Other Regions of the Ottoman Empire in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1
    The Book Trade and Booksellers of Istanbul and other regions of the Ottoman Empire in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries1 Ismail E. Erünsal It is well known that no clear political history of the first period of the Ottoman Empire can possibly be established, let alone its cultural history. Historical sources contain no significant information about the few educational institutions which were established in some of the regions conquered during the reign of Orhan Ghazi (1324 – 1360). The leading activity of this beylik* made up of ghazi* communities living along the Byzantine-Seljuk border was “gaza,” that is, military expeditions inspired by religion, and this subsumed cultural activities for a certain period. However, under Murad I (1362 – 1389), Edirne was conquered and Ottoman rule began to make itself felt in Rumeli; some beyliks in Anatolia were subjugated and others became allies. These developments hastened the influx of ulema* toward centers of learning in regions such as Damascus, Egypt and Khorasan, which had already started under Orhan Ghazi. The addition of cultural centers such as Kütahya, Manisa and Kastamonu to the Ottoman Empire under Yildirim Bayezid (1389 – 1402) further fostered an atmosphere of research and debate. Madrasah* students of the early Ottoman period most likely procured their school books by copying them. It does not seem possible to claim that the book trade started with the establishment of madrasahs. There were not enough books to establish a trade in cities such as Iznik, Izmit and Bursa, which did not have an Islamic cultural heritage. However, the multiplication of educational establishments and the increase of communication with other beyliks and important Islamic cultural centers led to the flow of both ulema and books into the Ottoman state.
