But Bonaparte revived the French ambition of undoing the British hold on India by landing in Egypt in 1798. He then failed to forge an alliance against the British with the grand Sharif of Mecca. Once back in France, his interest in developments in the interior of Arabia shows that he was simultaneously exploring the land route to India. In 1803 he instructed his consul in Baghdad, Olivier de Corancez, to get in touch with the Amir Saud ibn Abdelaziz, in case the latter would take Jeddah and thus complete the conquest of the Hedjaz.

  • Encounters at the Seams
    Jen Barrer-Gall 5 April 2013 Advisor: Professor William Leach Second Reader: Professor Christopher Brown Encounters at the Seams English "Self Fashioning" in the Ottoman World, 1563-1718 1 Acknowledgments I thank Professor William Leach for his encouragement and help throughout this process. His thesis seminar was a place in which students could freely discuss their papers and give advice to their peers. Moreover, I thank Professor Leach for reminding us that history is as much about the story we are telling as it is about whom we are as individuals. I also thank my second reader, Professor Christopher Brown, whose course "England and the Wider World" inspired me to major in history. He has always been patient and supportive, and I cannot thank him enough for all his advice relating to reading, analyzing, and writing history. 2 Introduction 4 An Eastern Door Opens Chapter I 11 Traders and Travelers on the Ottoman Stage An Appetite for Knowledge Ottoman Dress as a Business Tool Unwritten Customs Moments of Vulnerability, Moments of Pride Chapter II 27 Englishmen in Captivity: How they coped and how they escaped Telling their Tale Seized, Stripped, and Vulnerable The Great Escape Performative Conversion Chapter III 39 Renegades at Sea, on Land, and on the Stage A Place of Intrigue The Seventeenth-Century Imagination Becoming East Conclusion 55 Changing Landscapes Appendix 60 Bibliography 65 3 Introduction An Eastern Door Opens In 1575, six years before Queen Elizabeth I signed the Levant Company charter, English merchants ventured to Constantinople to renew an Eastern trade that had been dormant for nearly twenty years.

NEW CHEAPER IMPRESSION WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MAJOR LEONARD DARWIN WITH A PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR AND A MAP LONDON CONSTABLE & COMPANY, LTD. 1918 TO MY MOTHER MAJOR ARTHUR JOHN BYNG WAVELL, M.C., OF WAVELL'S ARABS WHEN I was President of the Royal Geographical Society a traveller asked to see me concerning a proposed explora- tion in the wilds of Arabia. There entered my room a young man, rather below the middle height, evidently very light in weight, with dark hair and a much-tanned and he the in complexion ; began discussing matter hand the loan by the Society of some instruments, if I remember rightly with no assurance of manner and with apparent diffidence. As the conversation proceeded, the doubt entered my mind whether I ought not to utter some words of advice concerning the nerve required for an expedition such as that for contemplated ; when luckily me he drove out of my mind all idea of giving any such utterly in- appropriate warning by quietly remarking, as if the words were forced out of him by the necessities of the case, " I have already been at Mecca and Medina in disguise." Ever after that interview I watched the career of Arthur Wavell with the greatest interest, for I felt that I had been in contact with an exceptional personality.

  • Writing a Grammatical Commentary on Hafiz of Shiraz: a Sixteenth-Century Ottoman Scholar on the Divan of Hafiz
    Writing a Grammatical Commentary on Hafiz of Shiraz: A Sixteenth-century Ottoman Scholar on the Divan of Hafiz Murat Umut Inan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Selim S. Kuru, Chair Walter G. Andrews Leroy F. Searle Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Near and Middle Eastern Studies University of Washington Abstract Writing a Grammatical Commentary on Hafiz of Shiraz: A Sixteenth-century Ottoman Scholar on the Divan of Hafiz Murat Umut Inan Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Selim S. Kuru Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization This dissertation explores the study and interpretation of the Divan (poetry collection) of Hafiz of Shiraz (d. ca. 1389), the most celebrated lyric poet of classical Persian, in the sixteenth- century Ottoman Empire and discusses the ways in which Hafiz’s Persian text was read, glossed and translated by Ottoman scholars. In terms of its scope, the dissertation focuses on a late sixteenth-century Ottoman Turkish commentary by Ahmed Sudi (d. ca. 1600), an Ottoman scholar of Arabic and Persian philology who is well-known primarily for his grammatical commentaries on Persian classics. The main concern of the dissertation is to explore and discuss the ways in which Sudi’s grammatical commentary on Hafiz’s Divan departs from the mystical/allegorical commentaries written by his predecessors Muslihiddin Süruri (d. 1561), an Ottoman Naqshbandi scholar renowned for his mystical commentaries on Persian classics, and Şem‘ullah Şem‘i (d. 1603), an Ottoman scholar affiliated with the Mavlavi order and the author of a number of allegorical/mystical commentaries on Persian classics.

It brought back vivid memories of how we “lived” at the American Legation in Jeddah during the time I served there. NOTE: In those days, Saudi Arabia had three “capitols” - Jeddah was the diplomatic capitol due all the foreign legations located there; Riyadh was the royal capitol because that was the king’s permanent residence; and, Dhahran was the commercial capitol because of ARAMCO Oil Company, the U.S. Air Force Base and Saudi Arabia’s International Airport. It wasn’t until years later that Jeddah became a Consulate General and, as an Embassy, moved to Riyadh. As the Morocco article noted “antiquity” today’s average American reader would not have believed “life and work” in Saudi Arabia before, in and, probably, several years after “my day”! I have a loose leaf binder of photos I have taken when asked to speak on “life” there. After 2 years in the South Pacific during WWII, short terms in hospitals in Manila and West Virginia and, eventually “honorable discharge” from the Army I joined and worked at the War Assets Administration “selling” aircraft and parts.
