Cahiers balkaniques est mis à disposition selon les termes de la Licence Creative Commons Attribution - Pas d’Utilisation Commerciale 4.0 International. 1 L’essentiel de ce volume est consacré au dossier intitulé Evliyâ Çelebi et l’Europe. Il est issu du colloque international, organisé, les 14-15 novembre 2011, à l’Institut National des Langues et Civilisations orientales (INALCO), à l’occasion du 400e anniversaire de la naissance du voyageur ottoman (1611-1684 ?). L’année 2011 a été déclarée par l’UNESCO « Année Evliyâ Çelebi » et nous avons mis à profit ce moment exceptionnel pour analyser à travers le Seyahatnâme (Livre de voyages), la vision, réelle ou imaginaire, qu’Evliyâ avait de l’Europe et de ses habitants. En effet, au cours de plus des quatre décennies de ses voyages, Evliyâ avait aussi parcouru le Caucase, l’Iran, l’Arabie et l’Égypte, mais une partie relativement importante des dix volumes de sa relation concerne l’Europe balkanique et danubienne sous autorité ottomane, aussi bien que le « Pays des Francs ». L’auteur juxtapose, selon son habitude, des descriptions d’une minutieuse exactitude à des histoires invraisemblables, divertissantes et parfois grivoises. C’est un tel mélange qui donne à son ouvrage sa saveur inimitable, en tout cas dans les littératures de l’Orient islamique, que nous souhaiterions faire connaître plus largement sous nos climats. Ce numéro présente également quelques-unes des communications faites lors d'une Journée d'études et d'un Colloque organisés par le CEB-INALCO, La Grèce à la Une : regards de la presse française sur la Grèce au XXe siècle, et Femmes des Balkans sous l'Occupation. The main part of this volume is dedicated to the file entitled “Evliyâ Çelebi and Europe”. It is derived from the international Symposium organized in 2011, November 14-15, at the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) in Paris on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of the ottoman traveller (1611-1684 ?). Year 2011was declared by UNESCO “Evliyâ Çelebi’s Year” and we used this exceptional moment to analyse, through the Seyahatnâme (Travelogue), the vision, real or imaginary, that Evliyâ had formed about Europe and its inhabitants. Having travelled more than four decades, he had been through Caucasus, Iran, Arabia and Egypt too, but a relatively important part of his ten volumes, deals with the under ottoman authority Balkan and Danubian Europe, as well as the “Frank country”. The author, as usual, puts side by side, descriptions of minute accuracy and improbable, entertaining and sometimes bawdy stories. Such a mixture gives to his books the inimitable flavor, in the literature of the Islamic East in any case, that we wish to be more widely known in our climates. The present issue presents papers from one Study Day and a Symposium organized by the INALCO-CEB (Centre for Balkan studies), “Greece in the Front page: of the French press on Greece in the 20th century”, and “Balkan women during the Occupation”. Το σημαντικό μέρος αυτού του τεύχους αφιερώνεται σ’ένα φάκελο με τίτλο «Ο Εβλιγιάς Τσελεμπί και η Ευρώπη». Γεννήθηκε από το διεθνές Συμπόσιο οργανωμένο το 14 και 15 Νοεμβρίου του 2011, στο Εθνικό Ινστιτούτο των Ανατολικών Γλωσσών και Πολιτισμών [INALCO] στο Παρίσι, με την ευκαιρία των 400ων γενεθλιών της γεννήσεως του οθωμανού ταξιδιώτη [1611-1684;]. Το 2011 κηρύχτηκε από το ΟΥΝΕΣΚΟ «Χρονιά του Εβλιγιά Τσελεμπί» και χρησιμοποιήσαμε αυτή την εξαιρετική στιγμή για να αναλύσουμε, μέσω το Σεχαγιατνάμε [Βιβλίο των ταξιδιών] το όραμα, πραγματικό ή φανταστικό, το οποίο είχε ο Εβλιγιάς για την Ευρώπη και τους κατοίκους της. Πράγματι, σε περισσότερα από τέσσερις δεκαετίες ταξιδιών, ο Εβλιγιάς είχε διασχίσει και τον Καύκασο, τον Ιράν, την Αραβία και την Αίγυπτο, όμως ένα σχετικά σημαντικό μέρος της αφήγησής του αφορά την βαλκανική και δουναβική Ευρώπη και τη «χώρα των Φράγκων». Ο συγγραφέας βάζει πλάι πλάι περιγραφές με σχολαστική ακρίβεια και απίθανες ιστορίες, διασκεδαστικές και μερικές Cahiers balkaniques, 41 | 2013 2 φορές ανήθικες. Τέτοιο μίγμα δίνει στο έργο του μια αμίμητη γεύση, τουλάχιστον μέσα στις λογοτεχωνίες της ισλαμικής Ανατολής και αυτό ακριβώς θέλουμε να γνωστοποιήσουμε ευρύτερα στα μέρη μας. Αυτό το τεύχος παρουσιάζει επίσης μερικές από τις διαλέξεις οι οποίες έγιναν κατά την διάρκεια μιας Μέρας Μελέτης και ένα Συμπόσιο οργανωμένο από το INALCO-CEB [Κέντρο Βαλκανικών Σπουδών], «Η Ελλάδα στην Πρώτη σελίδα, ο γαλλικός τύπος και η Ελλάδα το 20ο αιώνα», και «Γυναίκες των Βαλκανιών στην Κατοχή».

Naturellement, un tel regard révèle en creux celui qui le porte et nous apprend ainsi sur lui beaucoup plus qu’il ne l’aurait lui-même imaginé. 2 Certes, au cours de plus des quatre décennies de ses voyages, Evliyâ avait aussi parcouru le Caucase, l’Iran, l’Arabie et l’Égypte, mais une partie relativement importante des dix volumes de sa relation concerne l’Europe balkanique et danubienne sous autorité ottomane, aussi bien que les pays de la « mécréance » : l’Autriche et la Pologne où il alla réellement, la France, la Hollande et la Moscovie qui donnent lieu à des récits de pure fiction. Pour cette partie européenne, Evliya juxtapose, selon son habitude, des descriptions d’une minutieuse exactitude à des histoires invraisemblables, divertissantes et parfois grivoises. C’est un tel mélange qui donne à son ouvrage sa saveur inimitable, en tout cas dans les littératures de l’Orient islamique, que nous souhaiterions faire connaître plus largement sous nos climats.

Place of cannons Ten kilometres east of Retimo the road to Arkadi branches off inland and in 2 hours one gets to the monastery (note: I came the reverse way on this first visit). At this point there is a high rolling plateau 500 metres above the sea and quite near the north edge of this is the monastery. A new church ten minutes north of the monastery is nearly on the edge of this plateau. At a later visit I came to Arkadi from, I think, Anogia and lost the way a good deal and arrived in the evening by recognising this new church and making for it, as it is conspicuous a long way off whilst the monastery itself is hidden from the north and east by the rising ground upon which this church stands. It can be seen from the sea, but the monastery itself cannot. A gorge wooded with scrub cuts into this plateau and almost at the top of this gorge at its east side is Arkadi. From the gorge one sees only the Heroon and the tops of a few trees by the moni.

    χω την τύχη, αλλά πάνω από όλα την τιµή, να είµαι γεννηµένος σε έναν από τους πιο ευλογηµένους τόπους της Κρήτης. Σε έναν τόπο που αναθράφηκα, που γαλουχήθηκα, που έκανα τα πρώτα µου βήµατα και είπα τις πρώτες µου λέξεις. Μεγαλώνοντας σ’ Εαυτόν τον τόπο συναναστράφηκα σπουδαίους ανθρώπους, ανθρώπους µε ήθος, µε αγνή καρδιά, αξιοπρέπεια και ήθος που πάλευαν να κρατήσουν τα ήθη και τα έθιµα αυτού του τόπου, περήφανοι για τα ένδοξα έργα των προγόνων τους. Δύσκολα ο ποιητής µπορεί να περιγράψει την απαράµιλλη οµορφιά που πλανιέται ανάµεσα στους ελαιώνες που καταλήγουν µέχρι την ακροθαλασσιά, την οµορφιά του σφυρίγµατος του αγέρα µέσα στα φαράγγια, το δέος µπροστά στο ηρωικό µοναστήρι του Αρκαδιού. Δύσκολα ο ζωγρά- φος θα µπορέσει να µεταφέρει στον καµβά του το γαλάζιο του ουρανού, το αντανάκλασµα του ήλιου στους τοίχους των βενετσιάνικων αρχοντικών, το γλαυκό της πεντακάθαρης απέραντης θάλασσας που απλώνεται γύρω µας, και τον γαλήνιο ουρανό του Αυγούστου µε την πανσέληνο του. Σας προσκαλώ να έρθετε και να γνωρίσετε από κοντά τον τόπο µας. Να γευτείτε τις οµορφιές του, την ιστορία του, το παραδοσιακό φαγητό του, το κρασί και την τσικουδιά του... Να αισθανθείτε τη φιλοξενία που θα σας δοθεί χωρίς ανταλλάγµατα. Καλώς ορίσατε στον Δήµο Αρκαδίου, στον τόπο µας... και να ‘στε σίγουροι πως θα τον αγαπήσετε σαν το σπίτι σας!

    THE LONG SIEGE OF CANDIA (1648-69): THE KNIGHTS OF ST JOHN, A VENETIAN PROTECTORATE, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND A SCOTTISH REGIMENT Matthew Glozier Sydney Grammar School INTRODUCTION Crete was among those territories that formed a Venetian protectorate. The Turks declared open war on Crete in 1648. It is tempting to assume the ‘long’ siege on Candia (modern Heraklion) is a relatively forgotten conflict, overshadowed by the geo- politically significant siege of Vienna in 1683. After all, Candia was a defeat for the forces of Christendom whereas Vienna, just fourteen years later, was a decisive victory that achieved a lasting halt to Ottoman expansion westward into Europe. However, Candia has received a surprising amount of scholarly attention and has found a place in most serious modern studies of the Order of St John, especially those focussing on its naval operations. The international diplomatic and military nature of the siege generated home-grown sources in Britain while contemporary interest in military siege- craft made Candia a case-study in combined land/sea operations. The strident genre of seventeenth-century pamphlet literature provided a slew of source material in several languages. Candia also features in the autobiographies of several prominent military figures who gained valuable technical experience there.1 Most importantly, it is regarded by many scholars as a key moment in Christian-Muslim interaction to which the word ‘crusade’ is applied. THE SIEGE The declaration of war was ostensibly provoked by the Venetian Republic allowing the galleys of the Knights of St. John to take shelter in Cretan waters in 1645, following an attack by them on Ottoman shipping.2 The historian Rhoads Murphy states however, that the siege was the result of an ongoing, single–front Ottoman military strategy.3 In 1 J.

  • How the Roman Curia Was Informed About South-Eastern Europe, the Ottoman Empire and the Mediterranean (1645–1669)
    chapter 7 The Papal Network: How the Roman Curia Was Informed about South-Eastern Europe, the Ottoman Empire and the Mediterranean (1645–1669) Johann Petitjean Known at the time as Candia, after the former name of its capital city, Crete is the oldest colony of the Venetian Dominion.1 The island was considered more of a burden than an asset to the Venetian economy, and indeed its commercial importance diminished after the loss of the ports of Modon and Coron, and the redirection of goods to the benefit of Zante (Zakynthos) and Corfu.2 Nonetheless, it remained a symbolic jewel of the Venetian Dominion in the middle of the seventeenth century. After the loss of Cyprus, taken by the Ottomans in 1573, Crete was the Most Serene Republic’s only significant colony in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean. As an essential stop on the maritime route from Istanbul to Alexandria, it was coveted by the Ottomans, who per- ceived Venetian control over the island as an obstacle to their Mediterranean policy, even as an anomaly, since the safety of the Ottoman merchants sailing in the Levant could not be guaranteed as long as Christian corsairs could rely on the Cretan ports to provide them with optimal conditions to lead their seasonal campaign.3 Moreover, Maltese activity in the Eastern Mediterranean 1 The island became a part of the Venetian Dominion after the fourth crusade and the disruption of the Byzantine Empire.

  • The Region of Rethymno
    EU Community Initiative Programme Intereeg III B ARCHIMED DI.MA “Discovering Magna Grecia” The Greek-Byzantine Mediterranean itineraries – The Region of Rethymno General Information The town of Rethymnon, capital of the homonym prefecture, is located between the towns of Chania and Herakleion. It lies along the north coast, having to the east one of the largest sand beaches of Crete (length: 12 km) and to the west a rocky coastline that ends up to another large sand beach.

  • The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922, Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922 The Ottoman Empire was one of the most important non-Western states to survive from medieval to modern times, and played a vital role in European and global history. It continues to affect the peoples of the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central and Western Europe to the present day. This new survey examines the major trends during the latter years of the empire; it pays attention to gender issues and to hotly de- bated topics such as the treatment of minorities. In this second edition, Donald Quataert has updated his lively and authoritative text, revised the bibliographies, and included brief bibliographies of major works on the Byzantine Empire and the post–Ottoman Middle East. This ac- cessible narrative is supported by maps, illustrations, and genealogical and chronological tables, which will be of help to students and non- specialists alike. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Middle East. DONALD QUATAERT is Professor of History at Binghamton University, State University of New York. He has published many books on Middle East and Ottoman history, including An Economic and Social History of the Ottoman Empire, 1300–1914 (1994).
