  • Collective Petitions (ʿarż-I Maḥżār) As a Reflective Archival Source for Jerusalem’S Networks of Citadinité in the Late 19Th Century
    chapter 8 Collective Petitions (ʿarż-ı maḥżār) as a Reflective Archival Source for Jerusalem’s Networks of Citadinité in the late 19th Century Yasemin Avcı, Vincent Lemire, and Ömür Yazıcı Özdemir Since the last quarter of eighteenth century, the creation of central archival depositories has put a great mass of archival documents produced by the imperial states at the disposal of historians conducting research on the “long” nineteenth century.1 In spite of their undeniable importance to historical studies, focusing on these documents as a dominant source poses certain methodological problems. The abundance of these documents might lead the historian to fall into the trap of a top-down, state-centric approach. At its most extreme, it might seem there is no social or economic change without state impulse. Instead, citizens appear as objects of socioeconomic developments than as subjects of historical processes. They remain historically unimportant or become simple, “silent masses.” In order to establish a bottom-up approach and to hear the voices of ordinary people, historians have started to give much more importance to historical sources such as private journals, autobiogra- phies, and diaries; so-called “ego-documents.”2 Some archival materials in state archives are also valuable sources, presenting data that enable historians to overcome the methodological challenges of a state-centric approach and 1 The creation of centralized archival depositories in major European cities dates to the eighteenth century (St. Petersburg in 1720, Vienna in 1749, Warsaw in 1765, Venice in 1770, Florence in 1778, etc.). In France, the Revolution established the National Archives by the decree of September 7, 1790, and in 1794, the archives were opened to the public.

  • Medhat Pasha Abdul Hamid Oppresses His Brother Murad V
    After distorting his reputation and stature Abdul Hamid insulted the humanity of his brother “Murad” Murad V bin Abdul Majid I (1904-1840 AD), who was destined to contemplate the chaotic period in the history of the Ottoman Empire in which the struggle between the reformist and conservative movements focused. Murad's personality was not far from that of his brother Abdul Hamid in terms of psychological distress, isolation and phobia. The circumstances that formed Murad's personality, and cast a shadow over his emotions and interactions, are concentrated in his inability to deal with those around him or to understand the surrounding community around him, especially government men, on top of whom are the influential people. The name most commonly used during the reign of three sultans: Abdulaziz, Mourad, and Abdul Hamid; It is Medhat Pasha. He had the upper hand in isolating Abdulaziz and Murad, and the inauguration of Abdul Hamid II. He was the Grand Vizier (Prime Minister), and the responsible for the constitutional claim. There is another name with him, which is the Minister of War, Hussein Awni Pasha, who was associated with Medhat in the events of political chaos from the ouster of Abdulaziz until the assassination of Awni during the reign of Murad V. Sultan Abdulaziz took power in 1861 AD after his brother Abdul Majeed. As usual, the Ottomans used to practice the so-called princes' cages, for everyone who is qualified to take over the sultanate, so that he becomes isolated from the public environment so as not to affect the sultan's progress in his rule, either by revolution or by an organization that might worry him.

  • The Influence of Ottoman Empire on the Conservation of the Architectural Heritage in Jerusalem
    Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies Vol. 10, no. 1 (2020), pp. 127-151, doi : 10.18326/ijims.v10i1. 127-151 The Influence of Ottoman Empire on the conservation of the architectural heritage in Jerusalem Ziad M. Shehada University of Malaya E-mail: [email protected] DOI: 10.18326/ijims.v10i1.127-151 Abstract Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. It was built by the Canaanites in 3000 B.C., became the first Qibla of Muslims and is the third holiest shrine after Mecca and Medina. It is believed to be the only sacred city in the world that is considered historically and spiritually significant to Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. Since its establishment, the city has been subjected to a series of changes as a result of political, economic and social developments that affected the architectural formation through successive periods from the beginning leading up to the Ottoman Era, which then achieved relative stability. The research aims to examine and review the conservation mechanisms of the architectural buildings during the Ottoman rule in Jerusalem for more than 400 years, and how the Ottoman Sultans contributed to revitalizing and protecting the city from loss and extinction. The researcher followed the historical interpretive method using descriptive analysis based on a literature review and preliminary study to determine Ottoman practices in conserving the historical and the architectural heritage of Jerusalem. The research found that the Ottoman efforts towards conserving the architectural heritage in Jerusalem fell into four categories (Renovation, Restoration, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation). The Ottomans 127 IJIMS: Indonesian Journal of Islam and Muslim Societies, Volume 10, Number 1, June 2020:127-151 focused on the conservation of the existing buildings rather than new construction because of their respect for the local traditions and holy places.

Abstract: This article analyzes the manuscripts in the Matenadaran in Yerevan, Armenia that are ascribed to the Prophet Muh. ammad and ‘Al¯ı ibn Ab¯ı T. alib¯ and their translations into Farsi and Armenian. These important manuscripts have until now been neglected by scholars, and so we will here provide a general overview of them and how they were received by the Armenian Apostolic Church. I herein demonstrate how these documents were recognized by Muslim authorities, shedding light on how Muslim rulers managed the affairs of their Christian subjects. These documents, it would seem, also influenced the decrees of Muslim rulers to the Armenian Apostolic Church.

  • Mighty Guests of the Throne Note on Transliteration
    Sultan Ahmed III’s calligraphy of the Basmala: “In the Name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate” The Ottoman Sultans Mighty Guests of the Throne Note on Transliteration In this work, words in Ottoman Turkish, including the Turkish names of people and their written works, as well as place-names within the boundaries of present-day Turkey, have been transcribed according to official Turkish orthography. Accordingly, c is read as j, ç is ch, and ş is sh. The ğ is silent, but it lengthens the preceding vowel. I is pronounced like the “o” in “atom,” and ö is the same as the German letter in Köln or the French “eu” as in “peu.” Finally, ü is the same as the German letter in Düsseldorf or the French “u” in “lune.” The anglicized forms, however, are used for some well-known Turkish words, such as Turcoman, Seljuk, vizier, sheikh, and pasha as well as place-names, such as Anatolia, Gallipoli, and Rumelia.

    REAL ACADEMIA MATRITENSE DE HERÁLDICA Y GENEALOGÍA La Casa de Osmán. La sucesión de los Sultanes Otomanos tras la caída del Imperio. Por José María de Francisco Olmos Académico de Número MADRID MMIX José María de Francisco Olmos A raíz de la reciente muerte en Estambul el 23 de septiembre pasado (2009) de Ertugrul Osman V, jefe de la Casa de Osmán o de la Casa Imperial de los Otomanos, parece apropiado hacer unos comentarios sobre esta dinastía turca y musulmana que fue sin duda una de las grandes potencias del mundo moderno. Sus orígenes son medievales y se encuentran en una tribu turca (los ughuz de Kayi) que emigró desde las tierras del Turquestán hacia occidente durante el siglo XII. Su líder, Suleyman, los llevó hasta Anatolia hacia 1225, y su hijo Ertugrul (m.1288) pasó a servir a los gobernantes seljúcidas de la zona, recibiendo a cambio las tierras de Senyud (en Frigia), entrando así en contacto directo con los bizantinos. Osmán, hijo de Ertugrul, fue nombrado Emir por Alaeddin III, sultán seljúcida de Icconium (Konya) y cuando el poder de los seljúcidas de Rum desapareció (1299), Osmán se convirtió en soberano independiente iniciando así la dinastía otomana, o de los turcos osmanlíes. Osmán (m. 1326) y sus descendientes no hicieron sino aumentar su territorio y consolidar su poder en Anatolia. Su hijo Orján (m.1359) conquistó Brussa, a la que convirtió en su capital, organizó la administración, creó moneda propia y reorganizó al ejército (creó el famoso cuerpo de jenízaros), en Brussa construyó un palacio cuya puerta principal se denominaba la Sublime Puerta, nombre que luego se dio al poder imperial otomano hasta su desaparición.
