Doç. Dr. Sezai SEVİM CELALİ KUŞATMASI ALTINDA BURSA 17. yüzyıl tüm dünyada pek çok alanda değişim ve dönüşümlerin yaşandığı önemli bir dönemdir. Bu değişim ve dönüşümler beraberinde pek çok tepkiler getirmiştir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu da bu değişimi yaşayanlardan devletlerden biridir. Celali İsyanları Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda ortaya çıkan bu değişimlerin tepkisi olarak değerlendirilebilir. Doğrudan Hanedanı ya da devleti hedef almayan bu isyanları, bugünün dinamikleri ile anlamak mümkün değildir. Celali grupları içerisinde toplumun hemen her sınıfından insanları görmek mümkündür. Bu insanların ortak bir amacının olduğunu söylemek zor olsa da temelde daha iyi yaşam şartlarına kavuşmak arzusu ortak amaç olarak görülebilir. Celalilerin amaçları göz önüne alındığında Bursa’nın Celalilerce istila edilmesinin belli amaçlar dahilinde olduğu düşünülmektedir. Devlet ile pazarlık ederek iyi mevkileri elde etmek isteyen Celaliler için Bursa önemli bir pazarlık noktası olmuştur. Anadolu’nun en büyük şehri ve imparatorluğun en önemli ticaret merkezlerinden biri olan Bursa, 1607’de Kalenderoğlu Mehmed Bey’in lideri olduğu Celali birliklerince istila edilmiştir. İstila süresince Celali liderinin elçileri sürekli İstanbul’a giderek Kalenderoğlu’na tekrar yeni bir idari görev verilmesi için pazarlık etmiştir. Bursa’nın Celali İsyanlarından çok fazla etkilenmediği savunulmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışma kapsamında okunan kaynaklar neticesinde Bursa’nın maruz kaldığı tahribatın bilinenden daha çok olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yaklaşık iki ay süren bu istila boyunca şehrin doğusunun büyük kısmının tahrip edildiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca Celali istilasından hemen sonra Bursa’da yeni bir istilayı engellemek için bir sur inşa edilmiştir. Bu araştırmada bu surun haritası çıkarılmıştır.

Prof. Dr. Sezai SEVİM BURSA UNDER THE CELALI SIEGE The 17th century is an important period in which changes and transformations are experienced in many filed all over the world. These changes and transformations brought together many reactions. The Ottoman Empire is one of the states that experienced this change. The Celali rebellions can be regarded as the reaction of these changes that emerged in the Ottoman Empire. It is not possible to understand these rebellions, which do not directly target the Ottoman dynasty or the state, with the dynamics of today. It can be possible to see people from nearly all classes of the society in the Celali groups. Although it is difficult to say these people have a common purpose, it is possible to say the basic aim of them is to get better life standards. Considering the purposes of the Celalis, Bursa invasion had some specific aims. Bursa has become an important bargaining point for the Celalis who want to negotiate with the state and to get good position in the state. Bursa, which is the one of the most important trade center in the empire and biggest city in the Anatolia, was invaded by the Celalis under the leadership of Kalenderoğlu Mehmed Bey in 1607. During the invasion, the envoys of the Kalenderoğlu were constantly going to Istanbul and negotiated for giving an administrative function to their leader. It is argued that Bursa was not affected too much by the Celali rebellion. However, it is determined thanks to the resources read for the thesis, the destruction of the Celalis in Bursa were farther than known. During this invasion that lasted for about two months, most of the east side of the city was destroyed. Moreover, shortly after the Celali invasion, in order to prevent a new invasion, a wall constructed in Bursa. In this thesis, the map of the wall is trying to demonstrate.

Çalışmada Anadolu’nun en büyük şehri ve İmparatorluğun en önemli ticaret merkezlerinden biri olan Bursa şehrinin Celaliler tarafından bir amaç dâhilinde istila edilip edilmediği tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca çoğu arşiv kaynaklarından elde edilen bilgiler ışığında Celalilerin Bursa’da nereleri tahrip ettikleri, bu dönemde yerel eşkıyaların durumu, şehirde asayişin ne ölçüde sağlanabildiği ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Celali Kalenderoğlu’nun Bursa istilasını sonlandırmasından sonra, yeni gelecek olan Celalilere karşı tedbir maksadıyla yapılan surun rotası da tez kapsamında tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın ana kaynaklarını şer’iye sicilleri ile dönemin mühimme defterleri oluşturmuştur. Bunun yanında Bursa’nın yerel kaynakları da kullanılmıştır. Dönem ile alakalı yazılan kitap ve makaleler de ikincil kaynak olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın ortaya çıkmasında birçok kişinin emeği ve katkısı bulunmaktadır.

  • Zfwt Zeitschrift Für Die Welt Der Türken CORRUPTION of the OTTOMAN INHERITANCE SYSTEM and REFORM STUDIES CARRIED out in the 17
    Zeitschrift für die Welt der Türken ZfWT Journal of World of Turks CORRUPTION OF THE OTTOMAN INHERITANCE SYSTEM AND REFORM STUDIES CARRIED OUT IN THE 17th CENTURY Zabit ACER∗ Abstract: The Turkish nation is one of the nations who have founded many States in the history and ever continued its names. Today 45 countries have been founded in the lands under the sovereignty of the Ottoman State, 31 countries under its authority and influence. The Ottoman State, being parallel to its continuously growing and following active policies in the world politics, continuously renovated itself. Contemporary and modern historians starts the stagnation of the Otoman State from late 16th century. Long lasting wars brought the corruption of economy along and the regression became inevitable when also added incompetence of the Statesmen. The most important factor in the stagnation of the Ottoman State became the change in the inheritance procedure. The corruption in the inheritance system became effective in the corruption of the army and navy. That there were great problems in Timarli Sipahis, taxes increased more and villagers fell into the hands of usurers churned agricultural system deeply and the people escaped leaving their villages. As a result, the State started the struggle to make reforms as of 17th century to eliminate emerging disorders. 17th century reforms made based on the power and violence couldn’t find much development opportunity. The most characteristic speciality of this term reforms is that they were made depending on persons. There wasn’t the effect of Europe in 119 renovations made and studies to bring the Ottoman State back to its previous powerful terms were made.

    kebikeç / 33 • 2012 Celâliliğin Türkmen Cephesi: 17. Yüzyıl Anadolu Kırsalında Türkmen Voyvodası ve * Türkmenler Onur USTA** Erken dönemlerden itibaren Anadolu, Osmanlı Devleti’nin genişlemesine yönelik en çetin muhalefeti sergileyen coğrafyaydı. Söz konusu genişleme Balkanlar’da Hıristiyan-feodal devletlerin tepkisi ile karşılaşırken Anadolu’da ise büyük ölçüde heteredoks-Müslüman Türkmen devletlerinin direnişi ile karşılaş- mıştı (İnalcık, 2000: 23-34). Türkmen devletleri arasında görece daha güçlü olan Akkoyunlular ve Karamanlılar, Anadolu’daki Osmanlı genişlemesinin önünde duran en ciddi engellerdi. Osmanlılar ilkini 1473 Otlukbeli zaferiyle saf dışı bıra- kıp diğerini ise 1487’de topraklarına katarak hâkimiyetlerini Fırat Nehri’ne kadar genişletmişlerdi. Osmanlı’nın doğuya doğru ilerlemesine yönelik daha ciddi bir tehdit olarak Safeviler ve ona bağlı Türkmenler ise 1514 Çaldıran mağlubiyeti ile Fırat’ın doğusunu Osmanlı hâkimiyetine devretmek mecburiyetinde kalmışlardı. Fakat 1514’ten sonra dahi Anadolu’da Osmanlı merkeziyetçi otoritesine direnen Türkmen aşiretleri ve onlara bağlı isyanlar mevcuttu (Sümer, 1999: 190-192). Osmanlı yönetimi Türkmenleri denetim altında tutup onları mevcut Osmanlı sistemi ile bütünleştirme çabasındaydı.

  • The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922, Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922 The Ottoman Empire was one of the most important non-Western states to survive from medieval to modern times, and played a vital role in European and global history. It continues to affect the peoples of the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central and Western Europe to the present day. This new survey examines the major trends during the latter years of the empire; it pays attention to gender issues and to hotly de- bated topics such as the treatment of minorities. In this second edition, Donald Quataert has updated his lively and authoritative text, revised the bibliographies, and included brief bibliographies of major works on the Byzantine Empire and the post–Ottoman Middle East. This ac- cessible narrative is supported by maps, illustrations, and genealogical and chronological tables, which will be of help to students and non- specialists alike. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Middle East. DONALD QUATAERT is Professor of History at Binghamton University, State University of New York. He has published many books on Middle East and Ottoman history, including An Economic and Social History of the Ottoman Empire, 1300–1914 (1994). NEW APPROACHES TO EUROPEAN HISTORY Series editors WILLIAM BEIK Emory University T . C . W . BLANNING Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge New Approaches to European History is an important textbook series, which provides concise but authoritative surveys of major themes and problems in European history since the Renaissance.

  • A Historical Perspective on the July 2016 Coup Attempt in Turkey
    ARTICLE A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE JULY 2016 COUP ATTEMPT IN TURKEY A Historical Perspective on the July 2016 Coup Attempt in Turkey TIM JACOBY* ABSTRACT This paper sets out the historical background to the July 15 coup at- tempt. It outlines the Turkish armed forces’ age-old interventionist tenden- cies and argues that this is driven by three overlapping impetuses. The first is concerns over its civilian colleagues’ policy towards external threats and internal dissent. The second is the military’s promotion of its own version of Islamic practice and identity. The third is its determination to protect and, where possible, advance its economic interests. he fact that a faction of the Turkish military took up arms against the government on July 15 this year is perhaps not quite as surprising and ex- Ttraordinary as many have suggested. Despite their rigid hierarchies, mili- taries are not the unitary, undifferentiated organs that they are often assumed to be – nor do these internal divisions remain permanently subsumed beneath ci- vilian authority. Instead, there are endemic tensions between the forces of state and the force of arms. Some political systems manage these better than others, but all are – given the right set of circumstances – vulnerable to sections of their armed forces taking direct action. As this paper will demonstrate, Turkey is no different, and has been no different for as far back as you might wish to go. In the following pages, I will set out this background of interventionism, before going on to discuss the challenge that the AK Party has presented to both the armed forces’ internal unity and their political role.

Abstract The documentary evidence used in this dissertation has been drawn from the Ottoman court records and it is complemented by the data derıved from the fiscal registers. This dissertation adopted a case-study approach to allow a deeper insight into the complexities of the rural history of Ottoman Anatolia in the first half of the seventeenth century. These complexities are more related to the methodological approaches which are based on the adaptation of the purported theories about ‘the general crisis of the seventeenth century’ to Ottoman history. Such misinterpretations put the contention that a set of social, economic and ecological challenges associated with the Little Ice Age put a lot of serious strains on the Ottoman state and society during the seventeenth century.

  • Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770S: a Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising
    Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising by Birol Gundogdu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Birol Gundogdu 2012 Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising Birol Gundogdu Doctor of Philosophy Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The topic of our dissertation concerns the Greek uprisings against the Ottoman Empire, which took place in the context of the Ottoman-Russian struggle of 1768-1774. That is, our research focuses on the Morea Rebellion which is often claimed as not only the first crucial step on the way towards creating an independent Greek state, which came into being in 1829 with the treaty of London, but also occasionally as one of the most significant turning points both for the history of the Ottoman Empire and for the struggle of Greek independence. The meaning of the Morea Rebellion has long been under discussion among Greek historians. While we will deal with Ottoman side of the issue, this study will shed light on matters of Greek historiography which has been generally been created without taking account of the Ottoman side of the story. In the light of Ottoman archival documents as well as writings of earlier, more contemporary sources, we will argue for the complexity and intricacy of the Morea Rebellion, as reflected in the Ottoman documents, many of which have not been used before.

  • Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa and Hadım Yusuf Paşa and Their Art Patronage in Early-Seventeenth-Century Baghdad Melis Taner*
    Two Paths to Power: Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa and Hadım Yusuf Paşa and Their Art Patronage in Early-Seventeenth-Century Baghdad Melis Taner* İktidar Yolları: Erken Onyedinci Yüzyıl Bağdad’ında Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa ve Hadım Yusuf Paşa’nın Sanat Hamiliği Öz On altıncı yüzyılın sonlarında Bağdat’ta canlı bir sanat ortamı oluştu. Bu makale bu canlanmaya katkıda bulunan iki vali hakkındadır. Bunlardan birisi resimli bir evrensel tarih yazdıran Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa (ö. 1602), diğeri ise İstanbul’dan Bağdat ve Basra’ya seyahati ve oradaki ayaklanmaları bastırmasıyla ilgili resimli, ufak bir eser yazdıran Yusuf Paşa’dır (ö. 1614). İki vali için hazırlanılan ve yaklaşık olarak aynı zamanlarda yazılan ve resimlendirilen bu eserler atandıkları eyalette, özellikle de yerel ve sınır ötesi huzursuzlukların, ama aynı zamanda, sanatta canlanmanın olduğu bir dönemde, güçlerini sağlamlaştırmaya çalışan bu valilerin sanat patronajlarında seçtikleri farklı yolları gösterir. Sadrazam Sokollu Mehmed Paşa’nın oğlu olarak çok daha muazzam bir eser hazırlatır Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa ve kendisini de evrensel tarihin bir parçası olarak hayal eder. Öte yandan, Yusuf Paşa’nın daha mütevazı eseri onu ayaklanmaları bastıran cesur ve dindar bir vali olarak yansıtır. Anahtar kelimeler: Hasan Paşa, Yusuf Paşa, Bağdat, Basra, Sanat Patronajı, Propaganda. This article focuses on the art patronage of two viziers in early-seventeenth- century Baghdad: Sokolluzade Hasan Paşa (d. 1602), a vizier prone to much grandiosity, and Hadım Yusuf Paşa (d. 1614), a court eunuch who rose to the rank of vizier but who, for the most part, seems to have fallen through the cracks of history. Through two unique works that were composed for these governors it shows the different directions the two patrons took in crafting an image for themselves as they dealt with uprisings and as they sought to establish themselves in their posts.
