In the book with this number from Silius Italicus’s Punica, Hannibal and Varro rouse their troops to fight the Battle of Cannae. Juvenal’s satire of this number concerns Naevolus, a male prostitute upset because his patron won’t give him money. Neifile sings the song “Io mi son giovinetta” at the end of this day of The Decameron, which is the only day besides the first in which the stories follow no prescribed theme. The line “no day shall erase you from the memory of time” is taken from this numbered book of The Aeneid, in which Nisus and Euryalus massacre sleeping Rutuli soldiers. Dante kicks the head of Bocca degli Abati in this circle of Hell, which is divided into regions including Antenora and Ptolomea. In a Petrarchan sonnet, this numbered line begins after the “volta,” or “turn.” Antaeus lowers Dante and Virgil into this circle of Hell, where Dante encounters Count Ugolino eating the head of Ruggieri. For 10 points, name this circle of Hell in which traitors are frozen in a lake of ice, the lowest circle of Dante’s Inferno. ANSWER: nine [or ninth; or nove if you have an Italian speaker] 2.

Showing that the demarcation process in the region goes back to the Ottoman-Safavid conflicts, the author argues that the second Erzurum treaty (1847), which finally established the Ottoman-Qajar boundary, adhered fundamentally to the preceding treaties concluded between successive Iranian dynasties and the Ottomans.

  • Travellers' Tales of Mingrelia and of the Ancient Fortress of Nokalakevi
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.18.0.3287214 AWE 18 (2019) 195-224 TRAVELLERS’ TALES OF MINGRELIA AND OF THE ANCIENT FORTRESS OF NOKALAKEVI PAUL EVERILL Abstract The last decade has seen a flourishing of the tourist industry in Georgia, as increasing numbers of Western travellers discover its beauty, history and culture. However, it is still not well known, perhaps in part due to 70 years of Soviet occupation, and the destabilising effect of its expansionist neighbours to the north and the south over many years prior to that. Despite this, a number of travellers have left evocative accounts of the region since the 14th century, and this paper considers what these historical sources can tell modern scholars about life in Mingrelia, western Georgia, and particularly in Nokalakevi, a very ancient site. Introduction Frédéric Dubois de Montpéreux is most often credited with the first realisation that the remains at Nokalakevi represented those of Archaeopolis as described by Procopius in the sixth century AD. His publication of 1839 is undoubtedly an important step in recognising the importance of the site, however, as is often the way, there has been an increasing tendency to briefly acknowledge his contribution to the study of Nokalakevi without any re-interrogation of his original text. The idea that there might be more revealing information, in terms of both the site itself and of Mingrelian culture of the early 19th century, led to his original text being translated from French and, in turn, to the search for other travellers’ accounts. While foreign travellers might often provide inaccurate reports – through their own biases, or by being given and then repeating incorrect information – they often also describe aspects that would be unremarkable to native Georgian or Mingrelian chroniclers.

    chapter 12 Neither Victim Nor Accomplice: The Kızılbaş as Borderland Actors in the Early Modern Ottoman Realm Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer The leaders of the Safaviyya order with its center in Ardabil, a relatively small city in northwestern Iran, put immense efforts into recruiting followers from among Turkoman (and Kurdish) tribesmen in Anatolia beginning in the mid- eighth/fourteenth century. By the second half of the ninth/fifteenth century, as the movement completed its transformation into a Shi‘i military-cum-political group under the leadership of Junayd (d. 869/1460) and his son Ḥaydar (d. 893/ 1488), Safavid efforts consequently evolved from mostly uncoordinated endeav- ors aiming to gain followers for the order to a series of semiofficial and pro- grammatic policies of recruiting full-fledged adherents to their cause. These adherents were called Kızılbaş, meaning “read head” in Turkish, due to a crim- son twelve-gored headpiece that they wore, which signified their devotion to the Twelve Shi‘i Imams, as well as to the leaders of the Safavid movement.1 This new type of loyalty under the Safavid banner often times meant send- ing money to the Safavid state via its agents, serving as soldiers in the shah’s army, and in many cases migrating to the Safavid realm. The relatively small number of Kızılbaş in greater Iran, where most of the population were either nominally Sunni or politically distant from the movement, made Anatolia (and to a lesser extent Iraq and Syria) even more attractive for the Safavid lead- ers in their attempts

Independent Scholar. “The Ottomans of Silent Cinema” Abstract: On January 31, 1928 a French judge of the Seine Civil Tribunal heard arguments on a lawsuit brought by the children of the sultan Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918) against the production company Société des Cinéromans for unauthorized and defamatory use of the name and physical likeness of their father in the film Jalma la double. The artistic director of the company, Louis Nalpas, and the film’s director, Roger Goupillières, were also named in the suit. Although the French civil code and legal precedent were fully on their side, the sultan’s children lost their case. In this presentation I relate the rupture in the application of the law in the case of Jalma la double to the film’s particular approach to representing the erosion of Ottoman sovereignty under the international treaty regime and to parallel developments in the early cinematic and para-cinematic depiction of East- West contact.

FRAIHAT: I would like to welcome everyone this evening for a very important discussion that we would like to have about this region and about an important issue that we have to deal with at some point, and that the region actually has been struggling with for some time. It's an important subject for this region and an important book with an important author as well coming to us from The Economist on the subject of pluralism in the Arab region. Is this possible, reviving pluralism? Do we have pluralism in the first place? Why do we have to go into the discussion of reviving pluralism at this time? And whether it's a solution, a challenge, a solution to some of the problems the region is having. There are so many questions about how pluralistic the societies that we have in the region are and how, if not, how possible is it for the transformation in these societies to become more pluralistic and to have more tolerance of pluralism in the region.
