  • Foods and Drinks in Fifteenth-Century Anatolia, As Recorded by Amirdovlat Amasiats‘I
    Journal o f the Society for Armenian Studies 14 (2005), pp. 155-166 Foods and Drinks in Fifteenth-Century Anatolia, as Recorded by Amirdovlat Amasiats‘i John L. Gueriguian INTRODUCTION The King of Moths has been kind to Amirdovlat Amasiats‘i, since it has pre­ served a number of his manuscripts, including the monumental description of pharmaceutical simples, humorously entitled Useless to the Ignorant.* The analy­ sis of this work yields a great number of information on what people ate and drank in fifteenth century Anatolia. This article will try to give a general idea of the edibles that were available to Anatolian populations at that time, without any pre­ tence of being exhaustive. In 1453 Mehmet II Fetih captures Constantinople. In 1487, Bartolomeo Diaz crosses the Horn of Tempests, later renamed Cape of Good Hope, inaugurating the Western era of exploration of the East, near and far. Ultimately, the West would displace the Near and Middle East from the trade routes they initially controlled. The life of Amirdovlat Amasiats'i straddles this crucial period of East-West rela­ tionships. AMIRDOVLAT’S BIOGRAPHY Amirdovlat,1 2 son of Eghia, was bom in Amasya around 1415-1420, in an Ar­ menian family of probably modest origin.3 Later, he remembered, in his work, his native city—its flowers,4 its edible plants,5 and even the fish in its rivers.6 1 This work, composed in Istanbul in 1478, has been translated and then published in the original Armenian by K.H. Basmajian, Angitats' anpet (Vienna: Mkit'arean Tparan, 1926) and translated into Russian by S.A.
