The Rongba, crouched with teeth chattering, was moaning, and his sudden shudders bespoke great pain. It seemed only common charity to let him have the blanket, which was in any case too small for both, so I wI'apped it tightly l:ound his head and body.' He was doubled up with his chin on his knees. This small exertion was quite sufficient to make me lose the tug-of-war in which I was pulling against nature. Just like the subject who, undel' hypnotic influence, feels his own will and power suddenly going from him, so I felt the entire hopelessness of further struggle against the supernatural forces I was contendil!g with. FaIling backwards on the snow, I made a last desperate effort to gaze at the glittering stars ... my sight becanle dim and obscured.... For how long this semi-consciousness lasted, I do not know. /( God! how ghastly! Doctor! Kachi! " I tried to articulate. My voice seemed choked in my throat. Was what I saw before me real? . The two men, as if frozen to death by the side of each other, seemed lying on that vast white sheet of snow, motionless as statues of ice. In my dream I attempted to raise theIn. They were quite rigid. I knelt beside them, calling them and frantically strivi'ng to bring them back to consciousness and life. Bewildered, I turned round to look for Bijesing, and, as I di1 so, all - sense of vitality seeTned to freeze within me. I saw myself enclosed in a quickly contracting. tomb of transparent ice. It was easy to realise that I ~oo would shortly be nothing but a solid block of ice, like my companions. :My legs, my arms were already congealed. Horror-stricken as I was at the approach of such a hopeless, ghastly death, my sensations were accompanied by a languor and lassitude indescribable hut far from unpleasant. To some PREFACE. - THB momentous events recently occurring in the East of Europe were the sequel and consequence of revolutions which have agitated that part of the world for several centuries. To thoroughly understand the facts now being accomplished from day to day, it is necessary to follow in its principal features, general results, and most important revolutions, the history of the formation, grandeur, and , decadence of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE. In tracing the his­ torical development and ethnical peculiarities of the Turks, the author has endeavoured to give a clear idea of the institutions, manners, races, peoples, and religions of the Empire, composed of so many different elements; and also as far as practicable an accurate knowledge of the geography of those still imperfectly known countries. This last-named feature, it is hoped, will be of great. service to geography as well as history, and of the utmost interest to all who follow with serious attention the pro­ ~ess of events affecting what in this country is broadly and generally known as the EASTERN QUESTION. The statistics of the Ottoman Empire are .derived from , the most trustworthy sources. For these the Author has been greatly indebted to recent researches-notably those of M. Vladimir Jakschitj. Director of the Statistical vor. I. 6 VI PREFACE. Department of Servia, and of Mr. J. W. Redhonse, the well-known Tnrkish scholar; lIB also Herren Behm and Wagner. The sources to which recourse has been made in the historical portion of the work are too numerous to cite here, but which have been acknowledged either in the text or in the foot-notes.

  • The Siege of Belgrade on Stage
    Michael Hüttler THEATRE AND CULTURAL MEMORY: THE SIEGE OF BELGRADE ON STAGE Michael Hüttler (Vienna) Abstract: This contribution considers the historical image of Belgrade created by European playwrights and librettists of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Istanbul has been for a long time the symbol of an oriental city and lifestyle in the Western European mind – an image that was transmitted especially in poetry and dramatic texts. Belgrade seems to be present in a different way in the European cultural memory. Analysis of the representation of history related to Belgrade in the medium of theatre is based on the four selected historical theatre texts: Hannah Brand’s Huniades, or The Siege of Belgrade (Norwich, 1791/1798); Carl Kisfaludy’s Ilka oder die Einnahme von Griechisch-Weissenburg (Pest, 1814); James Cobb’s The Siege of Belgrade (London 1791/1828); und Friedrich Kaiser’s General Laudon (Vienna, 1875). In this article I would like to investigate the historical image of Belgrade created by European playwrights and librettists of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. What are the contents transported in the dramatic texts about Belgrade? Is a certain historical-political context present, which dominates the entertainment factor? Istanbul has been for a long time the symbol of an oriental city and lifestyle in the Western European mind – an image that was transmitted especially in poetry and dramatic texts. Belgrade seems to be present in a different way in the European cultural memory. In his 1963 essay Sur Racine (‘On Racine’) Roland Barthes already posed the question of how to deal academically with the challenge of the relation between history and a work of art, be it music or a dramatic text.

This paper is based on data from the handwritten autobiography of Jean- Frédéric Diesbach, which is kept in the Historical Archives in Fribourg, Switzerland, and in which the Battle of Petrovaradin and the siege of Belgrade are discussed. Diesbach, a Swiss nobleman who was originally in the Swiss and French military service, was later transferred to the Austrian army. This well-known European military leader finished his career as a governor of Syracuse in Sicily and a Major General of the Austrian army. A segment of his memories provides a brief description of the Battle of Petro- varadin and the operations of the Austrian army during the siege of Belgrade. Although it is part of the manuscript of a few pages, it has the value of a historical source, because it is the testimony of participants in these events. KEY WORDS: Battle of Petrovaradin, siege of Belgrade, the Austro-Turkish war, Jean- Frédéric Diesbach. 1 [email protected] 2 The paper presents the results of research conducted under the Project No. III 47023 Kosovo and Me- tohija between national identity and European integration , which is funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia.

Gisèle M.A. Department of History Supervisor: Prof. Dr Halil İNALCIK May 2009 The aim of this thesis is to analyze the possible impact of the Black Death on the early Ottoman society. Firstly, a temporal and spatial analysis of the outbreaks was established using contemporary Ottoman, Byzantine and Latin sources. In view of the territorial expansion of the Ottoman state in the period studied, information on the adjacent territories was included. The response towards plague was then evaluated taking into account the information obtained on the frequency and geographical distribution of the disease and contrasted with certain previous theories on the impact of plague on Ottoman society. The study reveals that the high frequency of plague outbreaks identified by this study can be linked to a behavior of overall acceptance and to specific actions of an administrative and religious nature.

It is the year 1473 A.D., 20 years after the fall of Constantinople. On May 29, 1453, the Eastern Roman Empire came to an end with the military takeover of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. How could an empire cease to exist? What were the people in and around the area doing in its final days? History does not occur in a vacuum. What occurs in one place effects others and can be partially caused by the actions or non-actions of neighbors.

  • The Outline of the Turkish-Hungarian War Between 1520 and 1526
    The Outline of the Turkish-Hungarian War between 1520 and 1526 FERENC SEBŐK After the death of King Mathias (1458-1490) the Turkish-Hungarian frontier re- mained generally peaceful. But the word "peaceful" should not be taken literally. This only meant that large-scale military operations led by the sultan himself did not take place. János Hunyadi dealt an annihilating defeat to the Turkish army, which had been engaged in the siege of Belgrade in 1456, and since then the Turks had been reluctant to launch large-scale military operations against the Hungarian Kingdom. King Mathias had kept the situation along the border firmly in his hands, and Turkish raids aimed at the realm or her frontiers were heavily defeated at the hands of the king's captains. During the reign of king Wladyslaw II (1490-1516) nothing seemed to have changed, Turkish raids were answered by similar Hungarian incursions into the territory of the Turkish Em- pire. In fact, the situation was steadily worsening for the Hungarians, the upkeep of the border fortresses and the salary of soldiers took up two-thirds of the king's revenue.1 Following the death of Wladyslaw II, his son, the young king Louis II (1516- 1526) sought to keep up the peace with the Turks. On 1 April 1519, the last Hun- garian-Turkish cease-fire agreement was signed for the duration of three years with sultan Selim, who was engaged with the pacification of his empire after his large-scale conquests in the East. The situation changed fundamentally in September 1520, when sultan Selim I died, and was succeeded by his son, Suleyman I (the Magnificent).
