INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is avily hi dependent upon the.quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of tichniquesti is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they ^re spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Imf is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposureand thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the ph otographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the materi <il. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — begi Hning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indiicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat Ijigher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essent al to the understanding of the dissertation. -
The Conversion of the Jews and the Islamization of Jewish Spaces During the First Centuries of the Ottoman Empire’
BAHAR, Beki L. ‘The conversion of the Jews and the islamization of Jewish spaces during the first centuries of the Ottoman empire’. Jewish Migration: Voices of the Diaspora. Raniero Speelman, Monica Jansen & Silvia Gaiga eds. ITALIANISTICA ULTRAIECTINA 7. Utrecht : Igitur Publishing, 2012. ISBN 978‐90‐6701‐032‐0. SUMMARY This essay by the late Beki L. Behar (z.l.) focuses on conversion to Islam until the end of the Seventeenth Century. If we can speak of a privileged treatment of the Jews in the reigns of Mehmet Fatih, Bayezit II, Süleyman and Selim II – the period of Gracia Mendez and Josef Nasi –, Mehmet IV’s reign (1648‐1687) was marked by lack of tolerance and the Islamic fanatism of the fundamentalist Kadezadeli sect, in which period Jews had to face all sorts of prohibition and forced conversion, sometimes losing their living quarters. Although the Jews as inhabitants of cities rather than villages were generally not subjected to conversion and were not encouraged to enter upon the career at Court known as devşirme, an important wave of conversions initiated with Shabtai Zwi (Sabbatai Zevi), the false mashiah who preferred Islam to death penalty. His numerous followers are known in Turkish as dönmeler (dönmes). Other conversions had a less dramatic background, such as divorcing under Shari’a law or for convenience’s sake. A famous case is the court fysician Moshe ben Raphael Abravanel, who became Muslim in order to be able to practise. KEYWORDS Conversion, Shabtai Zwi, dönmes, Islamization The authors The proceedings of the international conference Jewish Migration: Voices of the Diaspora (Istanbul, June 23‐27 2010) are volume 7 of the series ITALIANISTICA ULTRAIECTINA. -

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. -

From dancing and providing pleasure to the head of the Ottoman Empire Maidservants who ascended to the throne of the Ottoman Empire Under the ruling of the Ottomans, it was possible for any maidservant of unknown parentage and religion to instantly find herself sitting on the throne, controlling the lives of millions of Muslims. This is what historical sources say, which narrated how influential the maidservants were, in the era of the Ottoman Empire, and how they became mothers and wives of the Turkish sultans. The path was almost paved, it was enough for any maidservant, who knows how to seduce the Sultan, to make him fall in love with her in order to deliver him a child, and according to the Ottoman protocols, she becomes a wife, then a mother to the next sultan, a position that gives her sovereignty and an expected advantage over the throne of the Ottoman family, then dominating the fate of millions of Muslims in the countries occupied by the Ottoman Empire. Considering the weakness of the Turkish sultans as well, the task becomes easy, as most of the Ottomans family - according to historical sources - never panted after anything as much as women, and did nothing in their lives more than just lying in beds; some sultans never even left their palaces, in addition to the extravagance in purchasing maidservants from all over the world and being stacking them up in the Harem, where the place designated for them was in the palaces, which is something many leaders of the Ottoman Empire warned of, as many of the maidservants pretended to enter Islam and falling in love the Sultan, while in fact they are only spies for their countries of origin, which were hostile to the Ottoman Empire and to the Muslims at the same time. -
THE MATERIAL CULTURE in the ISTANBUL HOUSES THROUGH the EYES of BRITISH TRAVELER JULIA PARDOE (D.1862)
THE MATERIAL CULTURE IN THE ISTANBUL HOUSES THROUGH THE EYES OF BRITISH TRAVELER JULIA PARDOE (d.1862) by GÜLBAHAR RABİA ALTUNTAŞ Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University March 2017 © Gülbahar Rabia Altuntaş 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE MATERIAL CULTURE IN THE ISTANBUL HOUSES THROUGH THE EYES OF BRITISH TRAVELER JULIA PARDOE (d.1862) Gülbahar Rabia Altuntaş M.A. in History Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Tülay Artan Keywords: Ottoman material culture, 19th century travel writings, middle-class travelers, Ottoman houses, decoration, interior design This thesis focuses on the domestic interiors and material worlds of Istnabul houses through Julia Pardoe’s travel account “The City of the Sultan; and Domestic Manners of the Turks, in 1836”. She traveled to Ottoman lands in 1836 and wrote of her experiences and observations in her account. Firstly, the thesis will present that Julia Pardoe's account was one of the early examples of 19th-century travel writings. It will analyze how travel writing was transformed in the 19th century by middle class women travelers through their critical approach to previous travelers and through their constructing of a new perspective and discourses. Secondly, the life of householders she visited will be evaluated to understand the atmosphere in these houses. This also allows us to position them within social hierarchy as either royal, high-ranking or upper middle class. Lastly, these houses will be analyzed on the basis of Pardoe’s detailed descriptions, considering the main issues of material culture such as comfort, heating, luxury, decoration and design. -

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. -

An Ottoman Global Moment
AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy. -
