AVANT-PROPOS Le mouveinent d'emancipation des peuples balkaniques a fait l’objet de nombreuses etudes, tant sur le plan politique national que sur celui des problemes diplomatiques engendres par lesdits mouvements. L’in- fluence des peuples balkaniques les uns sur les autres a rarement ete etudiee et, alors, seulement d’une maniere partielle. L’objet done du present ouvrage est de presenter une image de 1’influence exercee par certaines idees de cooperation balkanique dans la preparation de la revolution grecque de 1821. La preparation de cette revolution commen^a le lendemain ineine de la conquete ottomane, ce qui est reconnu aussi par les historiens turcs. Cette preparation dura pendant des siecles car le peuple grec avait et6 tres affaibli demographiquement par ses luttes seculaires contre les divers envahisseurs et la perte annuelle d’un grand nombre d’enfants qui allaient grossir les rangs des janissaires, socialement par la fuite d’une grande partie de son elite culturelle en Europe occidentale, eco- nomiquement par les exactions continuelles du conquerant. De son cote, 1’Empire Ottoman se trouvait au sommet de sa puissance et l’Europe entiere tremblait devant lui. Ainsi, pour les Grecs, le XV" sidcle, qui com- menga si brillamment en ce qui concerne la literature et les arts, se termina lamentablement, le xvr siecle fut une longue decadence, ou l’on ne rencontre que de rares figures de grande envergure, coinme le pa- triarche Cyrile Loucaris et El Greco. La mention de ce peintre de re- nommee universelle offre une occasion de comparer la floraison dans les domaines litteraire et artistique des regions grecques occupies par les Venitiens avec la stagnation des regions occupees par les Turcs. Le x v ii” siecle fut une periode de stabilisation et les premiers signes de la renaissance commencerent alors a se montrer. Avec le x v iir siecle la situation changea radicalement. La puissance de l’Empire Ottoman bais- sait de jour en jour, les janissaires n’etaient plus recrutes parmi les en- fants chretiens et une veritable renaissance hellenique dans tous les do­ maines commenga, timidement au debut, puis de plus en plus fortement, a se manifester. La revolution fran^aise et son message de liberte, ega- lite et fraternite eut un retentissenient considerable qui influenga enor- mement tout ce mouvement politique, economique, social, litteraire et artistique qui prepara les Grecs a la revendication de leurs droits. On peut dire, sans exagerer, qu’elle annonQa le debut d’une nouvelle epoque 11 n’avait pas echappe a certains personnages clairvoyants que cette revolution que Ton preparait en Gr6ce pourrait se faire plus facilement VIII si les Grecs obtenaient la cooperation des autres nations balkaniques pour faire une revolution generate en vue de former soit un Etat balka- nique soit une association d’Etats balkaniques, association dont la forme variait suivant les auteurs des plans. En general ces plans demeurerent des visions : ils ne purent etre executes pour diverses raisons, ce qui a eu comme rSsultat que leur etude a £te delaissee jusqu’a present. Plusieurs facteurs poussaient ces personnages a rechercher la co­ operation des nations balkaniques pour cette oeuvre. 11 y avait d’un cote le facteur geographique, tres important vu que les limites de ces peuples n’6 tait pas clairement tracees et qu’une interpenetration assez pouss£e avait lieu dans certaines regions. En plus, il y avait le fait que tous ces peuples subissaient le meme sort de la part des O tto m a n s . Une cooperation done entre eux se presentait comme tout k fait logique- Un troisi£me facteur qui certainement joua son role fut le complexe d’in- fSriorite dont les peuples soumis souffraient vis-a-vis de leur conquerant, ce qui poussait les personnes preparant la revolution grecque de cher- cher des allies parmi les autres peuples balkaniques, ce qui aurait eu comme r£suitat un 6parpillement des forces militaires ottomanes. Le present ouvrage ne pretend pas a etre ni coniplet ni parfait. Le fait que son auteur ne possede les langues balkaniques (sauf le grec naturellement) que d’une maniere tr6 s limitee a eu comme effet qu’il a dQ limiter ses efforts bibliographiques dans ces langues a quelques on- vrages-clefs et ne permit pas I’utilisation de documents dans CCS langues qui n’auraient pas 6 t6 publies encore. Je tiens tout particulierement a exprimer ma profonde gratitude pour 1’aide qui m’a 6te fournie par feu le Professeur Maurice B o u r q u in ainsi que par MM. le Professeur Jacques Freymond, directeur de l’lnstitut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales a Geneve et L 6and re Vranoussis des Archives Mtklievales de I’Acaddmie d’Ath^nes. De plus, je desire remercier chaleureusement les biblioth£caires, archivistes et traducteurs qui tous, d’une fagon ou d’une autre, ont contribu6 k I’ela- boration du present ouvrage.

  • Treating Two 18Th Century Maps of the Danube in Association with Google-Provided Imagery
    ON THE DIGITAL REVIVAL OF HISTORIC CARTOGRAPHY: TREATING TWO 18TH CENTURY MAPS OF THE DANUBE IN ASSOCIATION WITH GOOGLE-PROVIDED IMAGERY Evangelos Livieratos Angeliki Tsorlini Maria Pazarli [email protected] Chrysoula Boutoura Myron Myridis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Faculty of Surveying Engineering University Campus, Box 497 GRE - 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The great navigable Danube River (known as the Istros River to the Ancient Greeks and as one of the crucial ends of the Roman Empire northern territories) is an emblematic fluvial feature of the overall European historic and cultural heritage in the large. Originating in the German Black Forest as two small rivers (Brigach and Breg) converging at the town of Donaueschingen, Danube is flowing for almost 2850 km mainly eastwards, passing through ten states (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine) and four European capitals (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade) with embouchure in the west coasts of the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, mainly in Romania. Danube played a profound role in the European political, social, economic and cultural history influencing in a multifold manner the heritage of many European nations, some of those without even a physical connection with the River, as it is the case of the Greeks, to whom the Danube is a reference to their own 18th century Enlightenment movement. Due to Danube’s important role in History, the extensive emphasis to its cartographic depiction was obviously a conditio sine qua non especially in the 17th and 18th century European cartography. In this paper, taking advantage of the modern digital technologies as applied in the recently established domain of cartographic heritage, two important and historically significant 18th century maps of the Danube are comparatively discussed in view also to the reference possibilities available today in relevant studies by the digital maps offered by powerful providers as e.g.

  • Two Greek Revolutions
    TWO GREEK REVOLUTIONS Greek nationalism under the Turkish yoke was nourished and sustained from three sources. One, the purest, was the Orthodox faith: since the Gospel and most of the patristic writings were written in Greek, a good knowledge of Orthodoxy required a good knowledge of Greek and Byzantine history in which Hellenism, the patriotic belief in the greatness of the Greek nation, was linked inseparably with its confession of the Orthodox faith. This Greek Orthodox nationalism (with the emphasis on “Orthodox”) was to be found especially among the monks of Mount Athos. Another source was a natural desire to be liberated from the Ottoman yoke. The situation of the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire was very difficult. As time passed and Ottoman power weakened, persecution of the faith increased. “The rights of the patriarch,” writes Fr. Alexander Schmemann, “were gradually reduced to nothing; all that was left to him was the ‘right’ of being responsible for the Christians. In the course of seventy-three years in the eighteenth century, the patriarch was replaced forty-eight times! Some were deposed and reinstalled as many as five times; many were put to torture. The rebellions of the Janissaries were accompanied by terrible bloodshed. Churches were defiled, relics cut to pieces, and the Holy Gifts profaned. Christian pogroms became more and more frequent. In the nineteenth century Turkey was simply rotting away, but the ‘sick man of Europe’ was supported at all points by other nations in opposition to Russia,”1 the only real protector of the Orthodox in the Ottoman empire.

Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.

  • The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece
    e-Perimetron , Vol. 3, No. 3, 2008 [101-119] www.e-perimetron.org | ISSN 1790-3769 George Tolias * Antiquarianism, Patriotism and Empire. Transfer of the cartography of the Travels of Anacharsis the Younger , 1788-1811 Keywords : Late Enlightenment; Antiquarian cartography of Greece; Abbé Barthélemy; Anacharsis; Barbié du Bocage ; Guillaume Delisle; Rigas Velestinlis Charta. Summary The aim of this paper is to present an instance of cultural transfer within the field of late Enlightenment antiquarian cartography of Greece, examining a series of maps printed in French and Greek, in Paris and Vienna, between 1788 and 1811 and related to Abbé Barthé- lemy’s Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece . The case-study allows analysing the al- terations of the content of the work and the changes of its symbolic functions, alterations due first to the transferral of medium (from a textual description to a cartographic representation) and next, to the successive transfers of the work in diverse cultural environments. The trans- fer process makes it possible to investigate some aspects of the interplay of classical studies, antiquarian erudition and politics as a form of interaction between the French and the Greek culture of the period. ‘The eye of History’ The Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece , by Abbé Jean-Jacques Barthélemy (1716- 1795) 1, was published on the eve of the French Revolution (1788) and had a manifest effect on its public. “In those days”, the Perpetual Secretary of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, Bon-Joseph Dacier (1742-1833) was to recall in 1826, “an unexpected sight came to impress and surprise our spirit.

  • Maria Christina Chatziioannou
    War, Crisis and sovereign Loans: The greek War of independenCe and BriTish eConomiC expansion in The 1820s* Maria Christina Chatziioannou abstract: This article focuses on the principal actors who undertook the financial intermediation of the greek loans of 1824 and 1825 and the agents who carried it out, the financial market, the stock market exchange and the joint-stock corporate organization. The main argument is that there was an asymmetric relationship between these principal actors and agents. my research hypothesis works on the convergence of two different crises at the same time: the systemic banking crisis of 1825 in London; and the severe internal crisis for the insurgent greeks. i argue that the causes for these “hapless loans” could be more complex, beyond the known moral critique. The two loans obtained by the greeks during the course of the greek War of independence, specifically in 1824 and 1825, are important because they essentially constitute the first international recognition of the greek state. Two daunting economic challenges marked that same period, on the one hand in greece, civil strife, financial hardship and the inability to sustain and equip the insurgency, and on the other in the City of London, the 1825 bank panic. additionally, the administration of the two loans, while the struggle against ottoman rule was still at a critical stage, opened up a very important chapter in anglo-greek relations at a time when Britain’s expansionist economy was taking off. during this period, British philhellenism and political liberalism would encounter the principles of free trade and the new entrepreneurial strategy developing in Britain in the 1820s.

    AHIF P O L I C Y J O U R N A L Spring 2015 Kapodistrias and the Making of Modern Europe and Modern Greece Patrick Theros n 1998, Theodoros Pangalos, Greece’s Foreign Minister attended an EU Conference of I otherwise little note in Brussels. He was half asleep during the sessions until the then President of the Dutch Parliament rose to speak about the common European heritage. The Dutchman proclaimed that a common cultural history united Europe: beginning with feudalism, followed by the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Counter- reformation, the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. This history differentiated Europeans from non-Europeans, a category which the unctuous Dutchman obviously deemed unworthy of membership. Pangalos suddenly came awake and leaped to his feet to state, in his normal colorful fashion, that the Dutchman had just insulted Greece. Greece had indeed lived through feudalism. It had come to Greece in the form of the Fourth Crusade, the sacking of Constantinople, and the dismembering of the country that virtually depopulated Greece. Pangalos apparently went on to eviscerate the Dutchman. He described the Renaissance as created by Greek scholars who fled the Turkish conquest. As for the Reformation and Counter Reformation; those were internal civil wars of the Papacy. No one seems to have memorialized Pangalos’ comments on the Enlightenment and the French Revolution as his Greek diplomats cringed and mostly tried to quiet him down. Pangalos’ ranting was more or less on point and, in fact, historically quite accurate. But the EU officials present, locked into the notion that Western civilization (quite narrowly defined) provided the gold standard for the world to try to emulate while the history and culture of others rated only academic interest made fun of Pangalos to the other Greeks present.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the development of a literary culture among the Romanians in the period 1829-1890; the effect of this development on the Romanians’ drive towards social modernization and political independence; and the way in which the idea of literature (as both concept and concrete manifestation) and the idea of the Romanian nation shaped each other. I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes.
