The volume of new acquisitions knew a few booming periods: This situation is different in the case of the Fatatri collection. The thematic unity of the middle of the 1.7th century with the large collection of Warnerus, described in the first genre, or at least of related genres, is striking. But this aspect is in the end equally rooted in the volume of my catalogue, and the 1960s and following decades when its growth rose workings of the market and historical chance. What are these genres? exponentially even by comparison with the rich 17th century. The Fatatri collectlon: genre, language and authors Among the important acquisitions of the second half of the 1960s there is the Fatatri collection, the greater part of which has recently been described by Jan Just Witkam in a If we take a closer look at the type of texts represented in the Fatatri manuscripts it lengthy Handlßt, which is available to visitors of the Oriental Reading Room in our library. I appears that the majority of them concern Arabic handbooks or shorter Arabic tracts, often myself have described the Turkish texts in the collection for the yet unpublished second and commentaries on older works, which all in some way or another deal with the traditional third volumes of my catalogue; I could not have accomplished that task without the sciences, and auxiliary sciences, of Islam and its traditions. Thus we find works in the fields of preparatory work by Witkam. A.A. Fatatri was - and is, he is still alive - a trader who was Arabic, and, exceptionally, Persian grammar, lexicography (mostly vocabularies and born and grew up in Egypt but is at present a resident of Leiden.

(He did not deal, by the way, exclusively in manuscripts.) A small number of basic text and endlessly rehashed in commentaries and supercommentaries); and jurisprudence items were not, obviously, bought in Turkey or the Middle East at large; this is certainly the (fiqh, fatwas, manuals for cadis and so forth).

Apart from this mostly traditionally religious material, two genres are library between May 1970 and 1995; they often show, for that matter, the same characteristics represented in a minor way: texts concerning the exact sciences: arithmetic, astrology and as the larger acquisitions made in the 1960s.)

The individuals who prepare these web-sites try to connect with the world via the internet, and represent their past with limited information.

  • Introduction the Changing Face of Islam in Bulgaria
    Copyrighted Material Introduction The Changing Face of Islam in Bulgaria Silvi, a Bulgarian Muslim and an Avon lady,1 always worried about her roots. Not where she came from, nor who her great-grandparents were. Silvi obsessed about the roots of her hair—how many millimeters of white she could stand before she had to dye it again. When I met her in the small Bulgarian city of Madan in 2005, Silvi was in her late forties and had thick jet-black hair that hung all the way down her back. Over the years the gray had taken over, and it was only nine days after each dye that she could see the silvery sheen glistening at her temples once again. Silvi had been born with the name Aysel, which she was told means “moonlight” in Turkish. She did not care that the communists had made her change her name as she was a rather secular Muslim and really only cared about sell- ing Avon products, which she had been doing for almost ten years. Silvi, short for Silvia, is a Western-sounding name whereas Aysel is Muslim. Since so many Bulgarians associated Muslims with rural life and tobacco growing, it was hard for someone with a Turkish name to project the aura of glamor needed to sell beauty products.“Women will buy more toiletries from ‘Silvi’ than they will from ‘Aysel,’” she told me. In recent months, there had been a growing trend that disturbed her: an increasing number of young women were dressing head to toe in a new Is- lamic style imported from abroad.

There are no preliminary quanti- tative analyses of fourteenth-century biograms, and even if they existed, such statistics would be of limited value, if not outrightly false. We still depend to a very large degree on the information of the local, non-Mamiuk, ulamiz' authors as far as the intellectual life of the period is concerned, even if the study of archival materials — and especially of endowment deeds giving details of the academic curriculum and titles of textbooks and selected private documents, for example death inventories, presenting the library holdings of a deceased scholar — will help us to place this information in the right perspective. The non- Mamluk scholars of the time tended to minimize the contribu- tion of alien, Mamluk authors to their own contemporary civilization. Therefore an analysis of this bias should precede * The first results of research pursued for this article were presented, under the title of `Mamluks and awkid a/-nar in the intellectual life of fourteenth-century Egypt and Syria', at the Seventh Oxford-Pennsylvania History Symposium in Oxford in the summer of 1977; the papers of this conference were never published, without any explanation as to the reasons for this ever being given by the editor who had volunteered to take over this task.

  • Numismatics of the Kök-Türk Period in Western Türkistan
    O. I. s m ir n o v a o n t u r k is h NUMISMATICS OF THE KÖK-TÜRK PERIOD IN WESTERN TÜRKİSTAN Dr. EMEL ESlN Mrs. O. I. Smirnova had dvvelt, since at least 1951, on the question of the Kök-Türk period Turkish coinage, in western Türkistan. Her last book, published in 1981, in Moscow, entitled Svodnıy Ka­ talog Sogdiyskix monet, bronza, is thus the outcome of long studies, pursued both in numismatic and historical fields, although restric- ted to the bronze coins. The coins bear both Soghdian and Turkish inscriptions in runiform alphabet. The Soghdian alphabet was also used for Turkish. The Turcologist Amanjolov has apparently helped Mrs. Smirnova, in what concerns the runiform scripts. As historian, O. I. Smirnova has tried to link the Turkish coins to dynasties reig- ning in Türkistan in the sixth to eighth centuries, taking equally in consideration the tamğas (dynastic, or tribal seals) and the heraldry. She noticed thereby that the coins vvith effigies of rulers appear, in western Türkistan, in the Kök-Türk period. This writer has long tried to keep up vvith Mrs. Smirnova^s momentous contribution to Turkish history, particularly in subjects connected vvith culture and iconography. Mrs. Smirnova^s vvork, books and articles, vvere my main source of information, in a paper on the Turkish dynasties of early mediaeval Türkistan, presented to a symposium convened in May 1985, by the Ankara University, on the theme of Turkish statecraft, throughout the centuries. The details vvhich could not be here included may be found in that paper, vvhich is novv in print.

According to the prosecutor’s claim, these names were the code names used by militants of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and, therefore, were against the Civil Registration Law, which stipulated that names which do not conform to national culture, moral norms, customs and traditions and which offend the public could not be given to children. The case was brought to the attorney’s attention by the Diyarbakır gendarmerie, which investigated the records at the Registration Office and came up with a list of Kurdish names after the Ministry of the Interior sent a secret circular, warning local administrators about an increase in Kurdish naming.2 Ironically, the court was presided over by a female judge with a Kurdish name, Şirvan.

  • Changing Identities at the Fringes of the Late Ottoman Empire: the Muslims of Dobruca, 1839-1914
    Changing Identities at the Fringes of the Late Ottoman Empire: The Muslims of Dobruca, 1839-1914 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Catalina Hunt, Ph.D. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Carter V. Findley, Advisor Jane Hathaway Theodora Dragostinova Scott Levi Copyright by Catalina Hunt 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the Muslim community of Dobruca, an Ottoman territory granted to Romania in 1878, and its transformation from a majority under Ottoman rule into a minority under Romanian administration. It focuses in particular on the collective identity of this community and how it changed from the start of the Ottoman reform era (Tanzimat) in 1839 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914. This dissertation constitutes, in fact, the study of the transition from Ottoman subjecthood to Romanian citizenship as experienced by the Muslim community of Dobruca. It constitutes an assessment of long-term patterns of collective identity formation and development in both imperial and post-imperial settings. The main argument of the dissertation is that during this period three crucial factors altered the sense of collective belonging of Dobrucan Muslims: a) state policies; b) the reaction of the Muslims to these policies; and c) the influence of transnational networks from the wider Turkic world on the Muslim community as a whole. Taken together, all these factors contributed fully to the community’s intellectual development and overall modernization, especially since they brought about new patterns of identification and belonging among Muslims.
