    Munich Personal RePEc Archive A study of Muslim economic thinking in the 11th A.H. / 17th C.E. century Islahi, Abdul Azim Islamic Economics Institute, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, KSA 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/75431/ MPRA Paper No. 75431, posted 06 Dec 2016 02:55 UTC Abdul Azim Islahi Islamic Economics Research Center King Abdulaziz University Scientific Publising Centre King Abdulaziz University P.O. Box 80200, Jeddah, 21589 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia FOREWORD There are numerous works on the history of Islamic economic thought. But almost all researches come to an end in 9th AH/15th CE century. We hardly find a reference to the economic ideas of Muslim scholars who lived in the 16th or 17th century, in works dealing with the history of Islamic economic thought. The period after the 9th/15th century remained largely unexplored. Dr. Islahi has ventured to investigate the periods after the 9th/15th century. He has already completed a study on Muslim economic thinking and institutions in the 10th/16th century (2009). In the mean time, he carried out the study on Muslim economic thinking during the 11th/17th century, which is now in your hand. As the author would like to note, it is only a sketch of the economic ideas in the period under study and a research initiative. It covers the sources available in Arabic, with a focus on the heartland of Islam. There is a need to explore Muslim economic ideas in works written in Persian, Turkish and other languages, as the importance of these languages increased in later periods.

I also want to thank Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi and Prof. Dr. Jo Vansteenbergen, for their expert suggestions. My colleagues of the History Department have also been supportive by letting me share my ideas in development during research meetings at the department, lunches and visits to the pub.

  • Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan
    Christian Allies of the Ottoman Empire by Emrah Safa Gürkan The relationship between the Ottomans and the Christians did not evolve around continuous hostility and conflict, as is generally assumed. The Ottomans employed Christians extensively, used Western know-how and technology, and en- couraged European merchants to trade in the Levant. On the state level, too, what dictated international diplomacy was not the religious factors, but rather rational strategies that were the results of carefully calculated priorities, for in- stance, several alliances between the Ottomans and the Christian states. All this cooperation blurred the cultural bound- aries and facilitated the flow of people, ideas, technologies and goods from one civilization to another. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Christians in the Service of the Ottomans 3. Ottoman Alliances with the Christian States 4. Conclusion 5. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Citation Introduction Cooperation between the Ottomans and various Christian groups and individuals started as early as the beginning of the 14th century, when the Ottoman state itself emerged. The Ottomans, although a Muslim polity, did not hesitate to cooperate with Christians for practical reasons. Nevertheless, the misreading of the Ghaza (Holy War) literature1 and the consequent romanticization of the Ottomans' struggle in carrying the banner of Islam conceal the true nature of rela- tions between Muslims and Christians. Rather than an inevitable conflict, what prevailed was cooperation in which cul- tural, ethnic, and religious boundaries seemed to disappear. Ÿ1 The Ottomans came into contact and allied themselves with Christians on two levels. Firstly, Christian allies of the Ot- tomans were individuals; the Ottomans employed a number of Christians in their service, mostly, but not always, after they had converted.

  • Portable Archaeology”: Pashas from the Dalmatian Hinterland As Cultural Mediators
    Chapter 10 Connectivity, Mobility, and Mediterranean “Portable Archaeology”: Pashas from the Dalmatian Hinterland as Cultural Mediators Gülru Necipoğlu Considering the mobility of persons and stones is one way to reflect upon how movable or portable seemingly stationary archaeological sites might be. Dalmatia, here viewed as a center of gravity between East and West, was cen- tral for the global vision of Ottoman imperial ambitions, which peaked during the 16th century. Constituting a fluid “border zone” caught between the fluctu- ating boundaries of three early modern empires—Ottoman, Venetian, and Austrian Habsburg—the Dalmatian coast of today’s Croatia and its hinterland occupied a vital position in the geopolitical imagination of the sultans. The Ottoman aspiration to reunite the fragmented former territories of the Roman Empire once again brought the eastern Adriatic littoral within the orbit of a tri-continental empire, comprising the interconnected arena of the Balkans, Crimea, Anatolia, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and North Africa. It is important to pay particular attention to how sites can “travel” through texts, drawings, prints, objects, travelogues, and oral descriptions. To that list should be added “traveling” stones (spolia) and the subjective medium of memory, with its transformative powers, as vehicles for the transmission of architectural knowledge and visual culture. I refer to the memories of travelers, merchants, architects, and ambassadors who crossed borders, as well as to Ottoman pashas originating from Dalmatia and its hinterland, with their extraordinary mobility within the promotion system of a vast eastern Mediterranean empire. To these pashas, circulating from one provincial post to another was a prerequisite for eventually rising to the highest ranks of vizier and grand vizier at the Imperial Council in the capital Istanbul, also called Ḳosṭanṭiniyye (Constantinople).

Researchers have mostly discussed how Idris-i Bidlisi became an intermediary between the Ottoman central government and the disinherited Kurdish emirs, some of whom had been removed from power by the Safavids. In this article, we will not focus on the condominium between the Ottoman central government and the Kurdish emirs, but rather, we will draw attention to the roles played by the Kurdish tribes – specifically, the role played by the Suleymani tribes during the period dominated by local political upheaval in the sixteenth century.

My name is Atakan Baltaci, and I’m super excited to conquer a city! I will be your chair for the Fall of Constantinople Committee at PMUNC 2018. We have gathered the mightiest commanders, the most cunning statesmen and the most renowned scholars the Ottoman Empire has ever seen to achieve the toughest of goals: conquering Constantinople. This Sultan is clever and more than eager, but he is also young and wants your advice. Let’s see what comes of this! Sincerely, Atakan Baltaci Dear delegates, Hello and welcome to PMUNC! I am Kris Hristov and I will be your crisis director for the siege of Constantinople. I am pleased to say this will not be your typical committee as we will focus more on enacting more small directives, building up to the siege of Constantinople, which will require military mobilization, finding the funds for an invasion and the political will on the part of all delegates.. Sincerely, Kris Hristov 3 [FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE] PMUNC 2018 ​ ​ COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION The year is 1451, and a 19 year old has re-ascended to the throne of the Ottoman Empire.

  • Analysis of Documentation About Ottoman Heritage in Belgrade Via Digital Reconstruction of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha Caravanserai
    Vladimir BOŽİNOVİĆ, Viktor POPOVİĆ* ANALYSIS OF DOCUMENTATION ABOUT OTTOMAN HERITAGE IN BELGRADE VIA DIGITAL RECONSTRUCTION OF SOKOLLU MEHMED PASHA CARAVANSERAI This city as wonderful as a diamond in a ring was founded by one of the Serbian kings, King Despot. It was the conquest goal for all kings wrote in 1660 Evliya Çelebi. Abstract In the period from 16th to the end of the 17th century Belgrade became one of the most important cities of Ottoman Empire in the Balkans. During this era of peace Sultans and Grand Viziers erected numerous waqf endowments, which formed an enviable economic, educational and religious center. Most important Belgrade waqf was certainly the waqf of Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmet Pasha. It consisted out of several buildings with the most famous one being vizier`s caravanserai, probably the biggest architectural complex of Ottoman Belgrade. In the following centuries, the city was constantly changing power and turmoil that followed many savage bat- tles resulted in destruction of famous caravanserai and many other monuments of Ottoman Bel- grade. The only testimony of these glorious objects that we have today is partial documentation scattered throughout museums and archives in Serbia and abroad. Modern means of recon- 1 struction of cultural heritage through analysis of available documentation reveal new possibili- * Felsefe Fakültesi, Belgrat- SIRBİSTAN. Balkanlarda Osmanlı Vakıfları ve Eserleri Uluslararası Sempozyumu / 341 ties for further study and presentation of Ottoman heritage in Belgrade. Now we can revitalize politicized or neglected historic heritage with virtual forms of presentation which would promote cultural tolerance and real identity reference of Belgrade. This approach will be discussed through the example of digital reconstruction of Sokollu Meh- met Pasha caravanserai.

Bu durum ilerleyen dönemlerde süreklilik göstermekle birlikte, en yoğun yaşandığı çağ Osmanlı’nın “Klasik” dönemidir. Bu kurucu/bâni grubu, imparatorluğun çeşitli bölgelerinde isimlerini yaşatan mimarlık ürünleri yaptırmışlardır. Ancak başkent olması nedeniyle en görkemli anıtsal mimari örneklerin bulunduğu İstanbul ve özellikle Üsküdar’da belirli bir yoğunlaşma izlenebilmektedir. Üsküdar’daki geniş organizasyonlu ve anıtsal mimari örneklerin tamamına yakını, Valide Sultanlar başta olmak üzere Harem kadınları tarafından inşa ettirilmiştir. Ayrıca Üsküdar’da bulunan bu yapılar, hem organizasyon hem anıtsallık bağlamında, bânilerinin “prestij yapısı” olarak nitelendirilebilecek uygulamalardır. Bahsedilen yapılar haricinde sadece üç adet anıtsal mimari örnek erkek baniler tarafından inşa edilmiştir: Rum Mehmed Paşa Küliyesi, Şemsi Paşa Külliyesi ve Selimiye Külliyesi. Bu durumun sebeplerini anlamak için başvurulacak referanslar ise çevre koşullarda aranmalıdır. Çevre koşulların değerlendirilmesi, Üsküdar’ın bir kent olarak niteliklerini saptamak ve diğer bölgelere göre farklı olduğu noktaları ortaya koymakla mümkündür. Buna göre şehrin tarihi, coğrafi, siyasi ve demografik özellikleri analiz edilmelidir. Böylelikle Üsküdar’daki bu yoğunlaşmanın sebepleri hakkında bir yaklaşım geliştirilebilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler Üsküdar, Mimari, Harem Kadınları, Prestij Sahası Abstract The existence of women as founders/patrons in Turkish Architecture can be dated back to Hun and Göktürk periods.

  • The Architectural Projects of the Grandees of Mehmed Ii
    APPENDIX III THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS OF THE GRANDEES OF MEHMED II In this Appendix there will be an attempt to examine the architectural projects of selected high officials who were Mahmud Pasha's contem­ poraries. These will be Zaganos Pasha, ishak Pasha, Rum Mehmed Pasha, Gedik Ahmed Pasha, Hass Murad Pasha and Karamani Meh­ med Pasha. All ofthese men became Grand Vezirs with the exception of Hass Murad Pasha, who died at a young age as Beylerbeyi of Rumeli. Four of them, Zaganos Pasha, Rum Mehmed Pasha, Gedik Ahmed Pasha and Hass Murad Pasha, were converts, while ishak Pasha and Karamani Mehmed Pasha were not. Zaganos Pasha I Zaganos Pasha's main architectural project was in Bahkesir, in Anato­ lia, where he spent time after his two exiles, upon Murad II's return to the throne in 1446 and upon his fall from grace in the reign of Mehmed II, probably in 1456.2 If we combine this information with the fact that Zaganos Pasha appears to have died in Bahkesir in AH 865 (1460-1461), where he was also buried, we may reach the conclu­ sion that he must have had his hass in that town. In Bahkesir Zaganos Pasha built a complex, which included a mosque, a soup kitchen and public baths.' as well as the founder's tomb, which bears the date AH 865 (1460-1461).4 The posthumous endowment deed for this complex is dated AH 866 (1461-1462). 5 He also constructed several buildings in Rumeli. An important contribution of Zaganos Pasha to Ottoman military architecture was his building of a part of Rumeli I For information on Zaganos Pasha see Chapter I.

    Hedda REINDL-KIEL 247 THE TRAGEDY OF POWER THE FATE OF GRAND VEZIRS ACCORDING TO THE MENAKIBNAME-I MAHMUD PA≤A-I VELI bhorrence of tyranny and bloodthirsty despotism is, according to A 1 Joseph von Hammer , a prominent leitmotiv in the anonymous Mena- kıbname-i Mahmud Pa≥a. Hammer remarks, though, that its text cannot serve as a historical source, but is rather a kind of coffeehouse literature (lowbrow narratives presented by a story teller). Following this verdict, scholars did not show any particular interest in the menakıb for a lengthy period, although the text was printed in Turkey in the second half of the 19th century2. In 1854 an edition (using the manuscript Dresden Cod. turc. 181 and one of the Berlin manuscripts) with a French translation appeared in Friedrich Heinrich Dieterici's Chrestomatie Ottomane3, but this served largely didactic purposes. Thus, the view of scholars did not change, and Franz Babinger remarked as late as 1927 in his Geschichts- schreiber der Osmanen that the menakıb were of no historical value4. In 1949, Halil Inalcık and Mevlûd Oguz introduced a newly-found “∞gazavat-ı Sultan Murad∞”, which contained at the end an incomplete Dr. Hedda REINDL-KIEL Seminar für Orientalische Sprachen, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Nassestr. 2 D-53113 Bonn, Germany. 1 Joseph von HAMMER, Geschichte des Osmanischen Reiches, vol.
