    Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica «Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica» by Eyal Ginio Source: Southeast­Studies (Südost­Forschungen), issue: 65­66 / 2006­2007, pages: 137­164, on www.ceeol.com. Perceiving French Presence in the Levant: French Subjects in the Sicil of 18th Century Ottoman Salonica By EYAL GINIO (Jerusalem) A loaf of fi ne, white French bread, called francala by the Ottomans and apparently of Italian origin, cast its shadow in the fi rst months of 1806 on the already deteriorating relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the French state (or devlet, the term adopted by the Ottomans when referring to post-revolutionary France). We learn about this debate from a sultanic decree, a ferman, issued on 6th April 1806 in response to a petition submitted by the French chargé d’aff aires (maslahatgüzar) in the imperial capi- tal. Th e petition involved the French claim regarding their ancient privilege to possess their own bakery in which francala bread and rusks (peksimet) would be produced.1 Th is privilege, the edict emphasized, was vital in order for the French to supply their “necessities of life” (kefaf-i nefs). Th e clientele for these pastries in Salonica was quite considerable: according to the petition, it included the consul (komisar in the new Ot- toman terminology) and his agents, merchants, all kind of visitors, and seafarers – in short, the local French “nation”.2 We can presume

Not only did the concept of political feminism barely exist, but, in addition, activists of the movement faced paradoxical barriers. For, as French society found itself swept into a frenzied pursuit of liberty, equality, and fraternity, adherents of the French Revolution ironically neglected to include all citizens in their so-called “inalienable rights of man.” Most notably, the newly formed National Assembly forgot its women. While modern feminism would not officially emerge until the early nineteenth century, debates concerning the role of women in society emerged as a notable topic throughout the French Revolution.
