Di¤er bir rivayete göre ise Pers hakimiyeti zaman›nda Khrysos olarak isimlendirilen “alt›n” paradan alm›fl olmal›d›r.Bu isim Bizans tesiriyle Khrysopolis halini alm›flt›r. Antik Ça¤’da, imparatorlar›n deri kalkanl› muhaf›z flehirde yafl›yor olmas›nan dolay› “ham veya tabaklanm›fl deri” manas›na gelen “Scutari”isminin kullan›ld›¤› da bir baflka görüfltür Baflka bir rivayete göre de, Üsküdar ismi “Ulak” manas›na gelmekte olup, Farsça kökenli (Esküdar) olmas›na ra¤men “Scutari”ile tesadüfi bir ses uyumuna sahiptir.. M.Ö.410 tarihinden beri önemli bir yerleflim yeri olan flehir,Bizans döneminde Kad›köy’ün bir varoflu olarak kalm›fl olup, Müslüman Araplar›n ‹stanbul muhasaras›nda stratejik bir öneme kavuflmufltur. Hz. Peygamber (S.A.V.)”Kostantiniyye(‹stanbul), muhakkak feth olunacakt›r.Onun emiri ne güzel emirdir, askeri ne güzel askerdir.” Buyurmufltur. Bu hadis ilk halifeler zaman›ndan itibaren müslümanlar› ‹stanbul’u almaya teflvik etmifltir. Bu müjdenin iflaret etti¤i kumandan olma yar›fl›na giren ünlü ‹slam halifeleri ve kumandanlar›n›n haz›rlad›¤› ordulardan birine 672 tarihinde kat›lan Ebu Eyyüb el-Ensari de ‹stanbul muhasaras› s›ras›nda bir süre Üsküdar’da kalm›flt›r. Yine ayn› maksatlarla ‹slam ordusuyla flehre gelen Harun el-Reflit 806 tarihinde bir müddet burada konaklam›flt›r. Evliya Çelebi, Battal Gazi’nin Üsküdar’›n K›zkulesi’ne hakim biryerine çad›r›n› kurdu¤unu, 7sene burada kald›¤›n› ve ba¤ bahçe yetifltirdi¤ini kaydetmektedir. Osmanl› hükümdar› Orhan Gazi, muhtemelen 1352 tarihinde Venedikliler karfl›s›nda bozguna u¤rayan Cenevizlilerin yard›m istemesi üzerine Bizans’›n elinde bulunan flehri zaptetmifltir. ‹flte bu fetih bölgenin kal›c› bir flekilde Müslümanl›kla tan›flmas›na vesile olmufltur. Osmanl› devrinde bir liman ve yerleflme yeri olarak geliflen flehir, Asya taraf›na sevk edilen ordular›n teçhizat ve mühimmat ikmali yapt›¤› ilk konak yeridir. Fatih Sultan Mehmet, Akkoyunlu hükümdar› Uzun Hasan üzerine sefer düzenlerken, Yavuz Sultan Selim M›s›r seferine giderken ve Kanuni Sultan Süleyman da, Do¤u Seferine ç›karken bu gelene¤e uyarak ordugahlar›n› hep burada kurmufllard›. IV.Murat, Revan Seferi’ne ç›kt›¤› zaman burada konaklam›fl oldu¤u gibi,bu sefer dönüflünde de Üsküdar Saray›nda ikamet emifltir.(l635) Zorba isyan› s›ras›nda, Kand›ral› Zorba Mehmet bir ara Üsküdar’› ele geçirmifl olup,flehrin ya¤malanmas›na sebep olmufltur(1808).Bu isyan s›ras›nda Selimiye K›fllas›da y›k›lm›flt›r. Üsküdar’›n zaman içinde bugünkü iskele civar›ndan bafllayarak s›rtlara do¤ru geliflme gösterdi¤i Rum Mehmet Pafla, Kaptan Pafla ve Davut Pafla Camilerinden anlafl›lmaktad›r. Camilerin infla tarihlerine bakarak flehrin mahallelerinin kurulufl devrelerini k›smen de olsa tespit etmek mümkündür. Mesela, Mihrimah Sultan Külliyesi’nin 1547 tarihlerinde tamamlanm›fl olmas›, bu tarihlerde iskele civar›n›n flenlik bir yer oldu¤unu göstermektedir. Ekrem Hakk› Ayverdi’nin verdi¤i rakamlara göre XV.yüzy›l›n son çeyre¤inde Üsküdar ve çevresinde yaklafl›k 10.000 nüfus yaflamaktayd›. Barkan’›n XVI.yüzy›l›n ilk çeyre¤i için verdi¤i rakamlara göre ise 28.000 ila 40.000 aras›nda bir nüfus yaflamaktayd›. Bu yüzy›lda ‹stanbul Bo¤az› k›y›lar›ndan Karadeniz k›y›s›ndaki Yoros Kale’ye, Hereke’den ‹zmit’in güneyine kadar uzanan bir alana yay›lm›fl olan Üsküdar’›n toplam 27 köyü ve 15 mahallesi vard›. > Üsküdar Turizm Rehberi 7 Üsküdar got its name from soothsayer Khryses’s daughter Krhyseis according to a legend. According to another legend it should have taken it from the ‘’gold’’ coin named Khrysos during the Persian rule. This name transformed into Khrysopolis with the Byzantinian influence. Another view is that the name ‘’Scutari’’ was used meaning ‘’raw or tanned leather’’ since the emperors lived in cities protected with leather shields in the Antique Era. According t another view is that the name Üsküdar means ‘’Messenger’’, and although it is [Esküdar] in the Persian language, it has a coincidental rhyme with ‘’Scutari.’’ The city has been an important dwelling ¤lace since 410 BC, it was a suburb of Kad›köy in the Byzantinian era, and became strategically important during the siege of ‹stanbul by Muslim Arabs. The Prophet Mohammad said ‘’Kostantiniyye will be conquered. How beautiful is its ruler, how beautiful is its soldier.’’ This saying of His encouraged all the muslims to conquer ‹stanbul since the era of the first chalifs. In 672, Abu-Eyyub al-Ensari joined one of the armies of reputable Muslim chalifas and commanders who desired to be the commander designated in this saying and stayed for a while in Üsküdar during the siege of the city.

  • A View of the History of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine
    A VIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISTANBUL FACULTY OF MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Nuran Yıldırım The Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, the Department of History of Medicine and Ethics Attributing the roots of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine to the Fatih Darüşşifa after a great deal of discussion, the 500th anniversary of medical education in Istanbul was celebrated in 1970. The soundest documents showing that medical education was carried out in the Fatih Dârüşşifa were the appointment papers (rüus) of medical students for the dârüşşifa in the 60 years between 1723 and 1783. These nine rüus, which were recently published, clarify that there were positions for six medical students in the dârüşşifa, and that whenever a vacancy came up, a new medical student would be appointed by the chief physician to undergo a systematic medical training. 1-Archival document concerning Ismail Efendi‟s appointment in place of Derviş Mehmet in Fatih Darüşşifa after his death. With the opening of the Süleymaniye Medical Medrese, medical education in Istanbul, which had started with the Fatih Dârüşşifa, became institutionalized. The opening of a medical medrese for the first time in the Ottoman State is accepted as being an important step in our history of medical education. The Süleymaniye Medical Medrese (Süleymaniye Tıp Medresesi) was a medrese for specializing, or a “post-graduate” course, as only students who had completed their classic medrese education could continue. Not only did the physicians that were trained join the scholarly classes, but at the same time they could be qadi or rising even to the level of sheikh-ul-Islam or grand vizier.

Smith, afer his appointment to the prestigious project for the new Istanbul Embassy Building of United Kingdom, whose conceptual design was probably by renowned architect Sir Charles Barry, had attained the interest and trust of Ottoman statesmen. Consequently he was assigned to realise a number of important architectural projects contributing to the modernization of Ottoman Architecture. Some of the Smith’s important works for the Ottoman Porte are: A military hospital [Gümüşsuyu Askeri Hastanesi], a naval hospital, a school of medicine later known as Mecidiye Kışlası then Taşkışla, a part of the Selimiye Barracks, a Glass Pavilion in Dolmabahçe Palace and Tophane Imperial Kiosk [Tophane Kasrı] for Sultan Abdülmecid; a building for the Board of Trade, renovation of the Naum Teatre.

  • Gentrification of Moda
    STRUGGLE, AND BACK HOME: GENTRIFICATION OF MODA By Kaan Kubilay Aşar Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Prof. Judit Bodnár Prof. Ju Li CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 i Abstract This thesis argues that an emancipatory social movement might result in heightened political polarization among social groups constrained by extant economic inequality. Based on the case study of the commercial gentrification in Moda neighborhood in the aftermath of the Gezi protests in 2013, this research highlights that the retreat of dissident urban youth from Taksim to Kadıköy and the rapid gentrification of Moda neighborhood are the social manifestations of the overall process of neoliberal restructuring of Istanbul. Moreover, it analyzes the newly opened third-wave cafés, pubs, and theatres as new territories of dissident urban youth. The in- depth interviews with gentrifiers and geospatial analysis of Moda neighborhood suggest that gentrification produced a socio-spatial segmentation of politically differentiated consumption places in Moda neighborhood. This thesis shows that the politicization of citadins is highly dependent on their daily practices of familiarizing consumption places with their social space. CEU eTD Collection ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Judit Bodnár for her relentless help and sage guidance which motivated me to excel on the validity of my arguments and to produce insightful research. Without her extended comments and support, this thesis would not have been what it is now. I thank my second supervisor, Ju Li, for her concise comments and insights.

  • The Story of the Life and Times of Thomas Cosmades
    Thomas Cosmades The Story of the Life and Times of Thomas Cosmades Introduction For years friends and family have been requesting me to put down at least the highlights of my life, pleasant and unpleasant. Following serious thought I concluded that doing this could be of service to people dear to me. Also my account can benefit coming generations. Many recollections in my thoughts still cheer my heart and others sadden, or make me ashamed, even after many years. If I fail to put my remembrances on paper they will die with me; otherwise they will profit those interested. I am confident of their being useful, at least to some. Innumerable people have written and published their life stories. Some have attracted favorable impressions and others the contrary. The free pen entrusted for free expression shouldn’t hesitate to record memories of some value. We are living in an age of intimidation and trepidation. People everywhere are weighing their words, writings, criticisms, drawings, etc. Prevailing conditions often dictate people’s manner of communication. Much talk is going around regarding democracy and free speech. Let’s be candid about it, democratic freedom is curtailed at every turn with the erosion of unrestricted utterance. The free person shouldn’t be intimidated by exorbitant reaction, or even violence. I firmly believe that thoughts, events and injustices should be spelled out. Therefore, I have recorded these pages. I did not conceal my failures, unwise decisions and crises in my own life. The same principle I have applied to conditions under which I lived and encountered from my childhood onwards.

Tous droits réservés A contribution to the moss flora of the Taurus Mountains, southern Turkey Ayse EVEREST a & Len ELLIS b aDepartmentof Biology, Faculty of Science, Mersin University, Çiftlikküy 33000, Mersin, Turkey. [email protected] bDepartment of Botany, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. [email protected] (Received 2 May 2002 – accepted 14 January 2003) Abstract – Over 300 moss collections made by A. Everest from diverse localities in the bry- ologically under-explored Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey have been identified. An inventory of the 69 taxa represented in these collections is presented. Southern Turkey / Taurus Mountains (Içel, Adana, Osmaniye) / moss flora INTRODUCTION Much research on the moss flora of Turkey has involved the inventory of taxa occurring within a small, localised area. Such studies have added important detail to the national and southwestern Asian floras. For example, Tonguç & Yayintas (2000, 2001) have recently explored and analysed the mosses of Mugla and Antalya in southern Anatolia. As a further example of this kind of study, the present paper expands upon an initial investigation by Everest & Ellis (1999) of a mountainous area to the east of Antalya, along the Mediterranean coast. The fol- lowing inventory is based on collections made by A. Everest between the autumn of 2001 and the spring of 2002. Although recording no new taxa for the Turkish moss flora, these collections were made mostly in hitherto bryologically unex- plored localities. They are housed in the herbarium of Mersin University, with duplicates in NHM.

  • 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.

Kalkşist- mikaşist ara katkılı mermerler ile rekristalize karbonatlardan yapılmış Permiyen yaşlı Cebelireis formasyonu, Yumrudağı Napı’nın çalışma alanında yüzeyleyen alt bölümüne karşılık gelmektedir. Bu metamorfik naplar ise bölgede çok silik başkalaşım izleri taşıyan flişoitler tarafından, açılı uyumsuzlukla örtülürler. Geç Paleosen-Eosen yaşlı bu flişoidler; çakıltaşı, kumtaşı, çamurtaşı, marn ve killi kireçtaşlarından oluşmaktadırlar. Yukarıda özetlenen Alanya Birliği kayaları üzerine, önemli bir tektonik dokanaktan sonra, Toroslar’da ‘’Hadim Napı’’ veya ‘’Aladağ Birliği’’ olarak bilinen tektono-stratigrafik dilim gelir. Hadim Napı en altta resifal kireçtaşı mercekleri kapsayan kuvarsit ve şeyllerden ibaret olan Üst Devoniyen istifi ile

UZUN, M. UNLU, M. BIRCAN, O. GULSEN, C. YILMAZ and H. GUBBUK, 2015. Identifi cation of banana accessions sampled from subtropical region of Turkey using srap markers. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 270–276 This study was conducted to estimate genetic relationships and natural somatic mutations among selected banana geno- types from different region of Turkey via SRAP molecular markers. Ninety-six banana genotypes including 39 ‘Dwarf Caven- dish’, 18 ‘Grande Nain’, 28 ‘Azman’ and 11 other bananas were evaluated. A total of 102 bands were obtained from 19 SRAP primer combinations and 86 (85.5%) of them were polymorphic. Number of bands per primer combination was 5.3 whereas polymorphic bands per primer combinations were 4.5. Genetic similarity of 96 accessions varied between 0.63–1.00. It was determined genetic variation among the accessions which may allow new selections for breeding programs. Considerable variation was also found among genotypes within the same banana cultivar and it was very important for banana breeding and germplasm evaluation. It can be concluded that SRAP markers could readily be used to estimate genetic relationhips among banana genotypes and natural somatic mutations.
