    Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale e-ISSN 2385-3042 Vol. 54 – Giugno 2018 ISSN 1125-3789 Venetian Hosts and Ottoman Guests in the Venedik Sarayı in Constantinople (c. 1670-1681) Maria Pia Pedani (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract After the end of the Cretan war (1645-1669) and before the starting of the Morean war (1684-1699) Venetian diplomats settled again in Constantinople and in the Venetian Palace (Venedik Sarayı) that had been the embassy of the Republic for centuries. In this period baili and extraordinary ambassadors (ambasciatori straordinari) used to celebrate Venetian or Ottoman civic and religious festivals with dinners and parties. Their guests were above all other European diplomats and middle- ranking Ottoman officials. Some Turks, above all those who lived in the neighbourhood, contributed to the organisation of such events with their gifts and, in exchange, they received money or other presents. This paper aims to study the circulation of objects and commodities between Europe and the Ottoman Empire and, in particular, which kind of items were exchanged before or during official dinners held in the Venetian Palace or in the Venetian summer houses in Arnavutköy and Balta Liman. The Turks brought or sent mostly vegetables, flowers and different kind of food, while Venetians used to give to their guests not only the famous Venetian cloths but also unusual objects such as ivory boxes, gloves, brushes, glass sculptures, mirrors, fans, fake flowers and so on. The sources used for this research are the accounting books of the Venetian embassy for the years 1670-83. Keywords Gift exchange.

  • The Hungarian Historical Review
    Hungarian Historical Review 3, no. 3 (2014): 494–528 Antal Molnár A Forgotten Bridgehead between Rome, Venice, and the Ottoman Empire: Cattaro and the Balkan Missions in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries A key element in the history of the missions that departed from Rome as of the middle of the sixteenth century is the functioning of the mediating structures that ensured the maintenance of the relationship between Rome as the center of the Holy Roman Empire and the territories where the missionaries did their work. On the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea, Ragusa, which today is the city of Dubrovnik, was the most important bridgehead, but Cattaro, today Kotor, also played a significant role as a point of mediation between Rome and the Ottoman Empire. My intention in this essay is to present the many roles of Cattaro in the region, focusing in particular on its role in the maintenance of communication between Rome and missions to the Balkans. Cattaro never lost its Balkan orientation, even following the weakening of economic ties and the loss of its episcopal jurisdiction, which had extended over parishes in Serbia in the Middle Ages. Rather, in the sixteenth century it grew with the addition of a completely new element. From 1535 to 1786 Cattaro was the most important center of the postal service between Venice and Istanbul. As of 1578, the management of the Istanbul post became the responsibility of the Bolizza family. Thus the family came to establish a wide network of connections in the Balkans. I examine these connections and then offer an analysis of the plans concerning the settlement of the Jesuits in Cattaro.

  • Brigandage on the Ragusan Frontier During the Morean War (1684-1699)
    V.Dubrovnik MioviÊ-PeriÊ, Annals Brigandage 3 (1999): 41-54 on the Ragusan Frontier during the Morean War 41 Original paper UDC 949.75DUB:323.269.6≈1684/1699« BRIGANDAGE ON THE RAGUSAN FRONTIER DURING THE MOREAN WAR (1684-1699) VESNA MIOVIΔ-PERIΔ ABSTRACT: The exhausting Ottoman wars waged in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik Republic were marked by disorder and anarchy. The bordering villages of the Republic’s counties (Konavle, Æupa, and Primorje) became the victims of a mob law that spread from Herzegovina like a disease. The Re- public’s frontiersmen thus polarized into brigands and non-brigands, their mutual hatred being particularly strong. Life in this area was characterized by constant ravages, plunder, famine, and plague. The population was unable to use the pastures and fields in Herzegovina. Small-scale trade across the bor- der was hampered, contributing further to the unbearable conditions in the area. A number of wars against the Ottoman Empire, strongly characterized by brigandage, took place in the vicinity of the Dubrovnik Republic. Although the Ragusan government claimed to be neutral in these wars, many Ragusan subjects, mostly inhabitants of the border villages in the regions of Primorje, Æupa and Konavle, were involved, either as brigands (Turk. haydut) or brig- and victims. This phenomenon was most prominent during the second half Vesna MioviÊ-PeriÊ, member of the Institute for Historical Sciences of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Dubrovnik.

Then Christianity moved to Greece and became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome and became an institution. Then it moved to Europe and became a culture. And then it move to America and became a business.” - Priscilla Shirer Shaul / Paul went to Greece within the framework of his second and third journeys. It was during a night gourd 49 A.D., when Shaul / Paul, while at Troas of Asia Minor, had a vision in which he saw a man of Macedonia who called him to carry on with his work in the this man’s homeland: Come over into M acedonia, and help us. It is worth noting that this divine intervention, which Shaul/ Paul with his fellow laborers Silas, Titus and Timothy took as an invitation from the Lord to make the message of His Gospel know to that area, was not the first. Their arrival at Troas and, as a consequence, their turn westwards and more specifically to Greece had become manifest on two further occasions during this second journey of Shaul / Paul. IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF PAUL 3 On the first occasion, when the left Iconium, they were prevented by the Holy Spirit from turning eastwards, to Asia, and as a result they finally headed for the regions of Phrygia and central Galatia.

  • Silver in Greece
    Silver Production in City/State of Ancient Athens Maxwell K. Boots, B.Sc. (Hon), PhD. Introduction. Much of what follows was sourced from the internet, however I remain responsible for the conclusions. During earlier research into the origins of silver and gold smithing, I came across many references about the first known “owl” coins that were minted in Greece from silver, commencing c580 BCE. Although these were not the first coins, they rekindled an interest in the silver history of Greece, especially about the geology of the mines in south- eastern Greece. The first known coins were made by the Lydians c700BCE (modern day-Western Turkey) using naturally occurring Electrum. Over 50 years ago I had sat through a lecture on the economic geology and processing of silver ores from the Laurion area of present day Greece, which is centered about 60km to the southeast of Athens. The Greeks appear to have the first real evidence of mining and processing on an intensive scale from their silver mines at Laurion which is an eastern sea port situated on a bay overlooking the island of Makronisos (in ancient times: Helena). The town is also known as Lavrio, Laureion or Laurium. Other small villages and towns of this area include Thoricus, Kamareza, Maronsa and Sounian. History of the mines. Although the start of silver mining in the Laurion area is not accurately known, it was probably commenced before the 3rd millennium BCE. This date has been ascertained because lead found in Egypt and dated to that time has been found to have the same isotope ratios, thus it originated from the Laurion area.

[email protected] Building a Boundary: the First Venetian-Ottoman Border in Dalmatia, 1573-1576 The establishment of a precise borderline between the Ottoman Empire and the Repu- blic of Venice on the Dalmatian mainland fi rst became an issue as a consequence of the third Venetian-Ottoman War (1537–1540). The issue arose again after the War of Cyprus (1570–1573). The victories of the Turkish army forced the Venetians to sue for a favourable interpretation of the 1573 peace treaty, under which they envisaged a full handover of their pre-war Dalmatian territories. The lengthy negotiations involved the Grand Vizier Mehmed Sokollu and his counsellor Solomon Ashkenazi, the Venetian Senate and its ambassadors. Only once Sultan Murad III had agreed to a settlement did both the Ottoman Empire and Venice send a special commission to Dalmatia, led respectively by Ferhat Sokolovic, Sanjak-bey of Bosnia, and by the Venetian nobleman Giacomo Soranzo. The negotiations took place in pavilions erected in Biljane, near Zadar; they were later moved to Skradin and fi nally to Solin during the summer of 1576. The Venetian government was highly satisfi ed with the new borderline, which led to relatively improved relations between the two states that lasted until the War of Candia (1645–69).

Main internal reasons for migrations and religious conversions were of economic, social, existential, material and personal nature, while external reasons were above all influenced by Ottoman-Venetian wars and Ottoman raids to the Venetian territory. Key words: migrations, Venetian territory, Ottoman territory, conversions, Islam, eastern Adriatic, 16th century 1 This article is a revised and enlarged version of the paper “‘Mi faccio Turco’.

    Greece (Greek: ????da, Elláda [e'laða] ( listen)), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: ???????? ??µ???at?a Elliniki´ Dimokratía [elini'ci ðimokra'ti.a]), also known si nce ancient times as Hellas (Ancient Greek: ????? Ellás ['h?l?s])[8][9][10][11][12 ][13][14][15] is a country located in southeastern Europe. According to the 2011 census, Greece's population is around 10.8 million. Athens is the nation's capi tal and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki, which is commonly referred to as the co-capital. Greece is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. S ituated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula, it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north a nd Turkey to the northeast. Greece consists of nine geographic regions: Macedoni a, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands (includ ing the Dodecanese and Cyclades), Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. The Aeg ean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Me diterranean Sea to the south.
