  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

    Chapter 5 Tales of Viziers and Wine: Interpreting Early Ottoman Narratives of State Centralization Dimitri Kastritsis The dominant paradigm of Ottoman state-building is one of progressive cen- tralization and institutionalization, from the late fourteenth to the mid- sixteenth century ce. This paradigm was first developed by Paul Wittek in the 1930s, and later refined by Halil İnalcık and others.1 According to Wittek’s well- known thesis, the Ottoman state-building venture was at first an egalitarian affair. Frontiersmen with a more or less tribal and nomadic background, pos- sessing a deep religious devotion embodied by holy men, carried out religious- ly motivated raids (ġazā) into Christian territory. By means of such activity, they were able to push the frontiers of Islam from the Anatolian borders of Byzantium to the Danube and Adriatic. But as the borders of their principality grew and its frontier advanced into Europe, a hinterland developed, in which the need for central state institutions became apparent. Such institutions were modelled on those already present in other Islamic states. They included shariʿa courts, taxation based on population surveys, and employment of slaves in the army and state administration. Since at first the Ottoman princi- pality consisted of territory newly conquered for Islam, in order to build such institutions, there was a need for scholars (ulema, Ar. ʿulamāʾ) imported from outside the Ottoman borders. Members of this new class (distinct from the holy men already mentioned) entered the Ottoman domains from rival Mus- lim principalities to the east. At first they mainly came from the neighboring Turkish emirates (beyliks) of Anatolia.

  • SIVRIHISAR GREAT MOSQUE and ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES Hasan AYDIN* Z
    Uluslararası Sosyal Araştırmalar Dergisi The Journal of International Social Research Cilt: 9 Sayı: 42 Volume: 9 Issue: 42 Şubat 2016 February 2016 www.sosyalarastirmalar.com Issn: 1307-9581 AN EXAMPLE OF ANATOLIAN SELJUG'S MULTI-SUPPORTED MOSQUES: SIVRIHISAR GREAT MOSQUE AND ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES Hasan AYDIN* Z. Sevgen PERKER** Abstract This study aims to describe the Great Mosque of Sivrihisar, an example of multi-timbered mosques of Anatolian Seljugs, and its structural features so that the building itself and similar buildings can be preserved with their surrounding in a holistic manner; and a contribution can be made to raise awareness and consciousness of bringing them to future. As a result of a literature review and investigations in the relevant field, historical characteristics of the building, which is a significant example of Islamic architecture, have been summarized and its structural features have been described based on spatial setup, bearing system, component characteristics, and building materials used. Keywords : Mosque Architecture, Multi-Supported Mosque, Wooden Mosque, Anatolian Seljugs, Sivrihisar Great Mosque. Introduction Currently, Sivrihisar is the largest district of Eskisehir in Turkey and approximately 100 km away from Eskisehir city center (Figure 1 and 2) (Google Earth, 2015; Web 1, 2015). The economy of the district is particularly based on agriculture and stockbreeding, and its total population is currently 27.712 (Web 2, 2015). Figure 1. Location of Sivrihisar (Google Earth, 2015) Figure 2. General View of Sivrihisar (Web 1, 2015) It is known that Sivrihisar has been located at where important transportation centers are intersected since very old times and it was previously an important center of trade and art.

  • TEB Aegean Corporate Center IZMIR TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER
    TEB Aegean Corporate Center IZMIR TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER Classified as « first-category historical monument », the building standing at Cumhuriyet Bulvarı 66, in Alsancak district, was designed in 1928 by the Istanbulite Levantine Italian architect Giulio Mongeri, to serve as a branch of Banca Commerciale Italiana (BCI). After keeping this function between 1928 and 1979, the building suffered a wear and tear time until its purchase in 1988 by Türk Ekonomi Bankası (TEB). TEB was founded in 1927 by private investors as a regional bank in İzmit under the name of Kocaeli Bankası. After it was purchased by the Çolakoğlu Group in 1982, it changed its name to TEB and became recognized a solid and prudent bank as well as a leader in foreign business. In March 2005, TEB signed a joint venture agreement with BNP Paribas. And February 2011 saw a memorable operational achievement in the Turkish banking sector with the merger of TEB with Fortis Bank AŞ, the Turkish arm of Belgian Fortis Banking Group, which had joined BNP Paribas two years before. Main entrance at Cumhuriyet Bulvarı 66, Izmir TEB AEGEAN CORPORATE CENTER After the First World War and as a leading force in Italy’s economic expansion, BCI extended its own operations to international markets focusing on the South-East of Europe and East Mediterranean area. Hence the Istanbul branch was opened in 1919 and the Izmir one in 1928. By then the young Turkish Republic, founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in 1923, planned Izmir, the former Smyrna, as a trade and fair city. Moreover Izmir was already the second largest city of Turkey in industrial terms and a leading export port of traditional goods (fig, raisin, tobacco) thanks to its time honored historic background as a wealthy BCI façade and main entrance, in 1935 and cosmopolitan commercial center nestled around one of the most important ports of not only Anatolia but also the entire Eastern Mediterranean region since the mid-18th century.

  • 16.Yüzyılda İZNİK'te ZAVİYELER Ve GELİR Paylaşımı
    16. YÜZYıLDA İZNİK'TE ZAVİYELER ve GELİR PAYLAŞıMı Dervish Lodges And Income Distribution In ıZnik in The 16. Century Doç. Dr. Ahmet GÜNEŞ* ÖZET Bu makalede önce İznik ve Vakıflar hakkında kısaca bilgi verilmiş, sonra 16. Yüzyılda İznik'teki Zaviyeler ya da Zaviye Vakıfları, Zaviye Sahipleri ve Zayiyelerin Gelir Türleri, Miktarları ile Bunların Seyir ve Dönüşümleri ana konuları işlenmiştir. Kullanılan rakamların kesin olduğu varsayıldığında, 16. yüzyılın başlarına (A) göre 16. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında (B) İznik'te zayiyelerin sayısı azalmıştır. Bununla birlikte,"Zaviye grubu", (İznik'teki) vakıf-mülk gelirleri toplamı içerisinde hem A noktasında hem de B noktasında üçüncü sıradadır. Bu sıra, şüphesiz ki, İznik'te vakıf-mülk gelirlerinin önemli bir kısmının, söz konusu kuruma ayrıldığı anlamına gelmektedir. Zayiyelerin çoğu, kentsel yoğunlaşmayı göstermek üzere, İznik şehrindedir. "Geliri 1.000 akçanın üzerinde olan zaviyelerde", zaviye yapımında (vakıflarında) -doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak, başka bir ifadeyle temlik ve tevkif açısından- Osmanlı soyunun başta olduğu, Çandarh ailesinin de onları takip ettiği anlaşılmaktadır. "Geliri 1.000 akçanın altında olan zaviyelerde" ise, "ahi" adının yaygınhğı ya da ahilerin etkinliği dikkat çekicidir. "Zaviye grubu"nun gelir kaynakları, zayiyelerin yapılanma ve işlevleri sonucu olsa gerek, hem A' da hem de B' de - gelir toplamları açısından bakıldığında- esasen köylerdir. Anahtar Kelimeler: 16. yüzyıl, İznik, vakıf, zayiye, gelir, köy, OsmanlıIar, Çandarlılar. ABSTRACT. In this artiele, firstly, information in respect of İznik and Foundations are given and afterwards, the main topic s of dervish lodges in İznik in the 16.

  • Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire
    Colour: Design & Creativity (3) (2008): 9, 1–7 http://www.colour-journal.org/2008/3/9/ Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire Simten Gündeş, Melis Oktuğ and Deniz Özden* İstanbul Kültür University Art and Design Faculty, Ataköy Yerleşkesi, Bakırköy, İstanbul, Turkey *İstanbul University Fine Arts Department, Beyazıt, İstanbul, Turkey Email: [email protected] In this article the progress of Turkish tiling art during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods in Anatolia is discussed. Paralleling historical development, examples are given examples of tile techniques both on interior and exterior surfaces. Description of tiling development is given within a diachronic method analysing the original patterns and techniques as a sign of Anatolian civilisation. Introduction The origin of the word ‘tile’ comes from Persian noun phrase ‘Çin-I’ which means tiles manufactured in the Chinese style. The same word has been used in Turkish for glazed patterns or coloured panels. Tile art, that has a great importance in traditional Turkish art, has developed over several centuries. Tiles are widely used in the architecture of many Turkish, monuments, as well as other states in Asia. These developments and the signifi cance of Turkish tile art are discussed below. Turkish settlement of Anatolia intensifi ed after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. The Seljuk commander Kutalmışoğlu Süleyman Şah extended his conquests in Anatolia westward, taking Iznik from Byzantium in 1075. He made Iznik his capital and announced the independence of the Anatolian Seljuk state, which lasted until 1318, when the Ilkhanids wiped out the last Anatolian Seljuk sultanate. The present-day district of Sogut in the province of Bilecik is where, in the time of the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate, the beylik (principality) of the Osmanogullari was established in the year 1299 by Osman Bey.
