Examinations are based on the so-called şikâyet defteris, imperial registers archiving decrees issued in response to petitions of sub- jects by the Ottoman Imperial Council. Since this corpus gives insight into the social and institutional links between the Ottoman administration and its exponents, it proved to be a significant source for a more nuanced understanding of the nature of relations between the Porte and the Danubian vassal states and of the specific status of voievods involved in the Ottoman administration. Keywords: imperial council; registers of grievances; Moldavia; Wallachia; vassal states; petitioning. This study focuses on some characteristics of the relations between the Ottoman central administration and the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in the second half of the 17th century as articulated in the imperial system of petitioning process. The pres- ent study relies on the results of my general research concerning the formal and con- textual description of the so-called şikâyet defterleri („registers of grievances”) from the second half of the 17th century.1 I. On the Source Material The şikayet defterleri („registers of grievances”) contain copies of decrees (emr, hüküm, ferman) issued by the Ottoman imperial council (divan, Divan-i Hümayun) as a response to the subjects’ petitions for a redress from the middle of the 17th centu- ry onwards. Addressees of this kind of orders were members of the local authorities, mostly kadis. The divan functioned partly as the highest jurisdictional authority in the Ottoman Empire, which was led by the grand vizier from the second half of the 16th century onwards. Apart from some rare exceptions quoted below, the surviving ma- terial of the şikayet defteris is kept today in the Prime Ministry’s Ottoman Archives in * Senior lecturer, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, [email protected]. My research on which this study is based has been supported by Balassi Institute, Budapest and TÜBİTAK, Ankara. 1 I have analysed this group of sources in my PhD dissertation not yet published. Cf. Kovács, N. E., “A Sikájet Defterik: A Szultáni Tanács Jogorvoslati Szerepének 17. Századi Változásai a Kimenő Parancsok Tükrében [The Şikayet Defteris. Changes in Judicial Function of the Ottoman Imperial Council in 17th Century as Reflected in the Outgoing Orders]”, (unpublished PhD dissertation, Budapest: Eötvös Loránd University, 2013). The Legal Status of the Danubian Principalities in the 17th Century as 2 Reflected in the Şikayet Defteris Istanbul (Başbakanlık Osmanlı Arşivi, hereafter BOA).2 The appearance of this defter type, as a second series of registers during the first years of the reign of Mehmed IV (reigned 1648–1687) reflects a significant change in the practice of the Ottoman central administration. Until now we do not have a written source directly about the chancellery or the reorganization of the chancellery explaining why or why at the end of the 1640s was the regis- tration of the decrees diversified according to their content. In our present state of knowledge we can state that this transformation is a symptom of the dramatic social changes and it is closely linked with the financial and social crisis emerging from the second

  • A Monumental Debate in Budapest: the Hentzi Statue and the Limits of Austro-Hungarian Reconciliation, 1852–1918
    A Monumental Debate in Budapest: The Hentzi Statue and the Limits of Austro-Hungarian Reconciliation, 1852–1918 MICHAEL LAURENCE MILLER WO OF THE MOST ICONIC PHOTOS of the 1956 Hungarian revolution involve a colossal statue of Stalin, erected in 1951 and toppled on the first day of the anti-Soviet uprising. TOne of these pictures shows Stalin’s decapitated head, abandoned in the street as curious pedestrians amble by. The other shows a tall stone pedestal with nothing on it but a lonely pair of bronze boots. Situated near Heroes’ Square, Hungary’s national pantheon, the Stalin statue had served as a symbol of Hungary’s subjugation to the Soviet Union; and its ceremonious and deliberate destruction provided a poignant symbol for the fall of Stalinism. Thirty-eight years before, at the beginning of an earlier Hungarian revolution, another despised statue was toppled in Budapest, also marking a break from foreign subjugation, albeit to a different power. Unlike the Stalin statue, which stood for only five years, this statue—the so-called Hentzi Monument—had been “a splinter in the eye of the [Hungarian] nation” for sixty-six years. Perceived by many Hungarians as a symbol of “national humiliation” at the hands of the Habsburgs, the Hentzi Monument remained mired in controversy from its unveiling in 1852 until its destruction in 1918. The object of street demonstrations and parliamentary disorder in 1886, 1892, 1898, and 1899, and the object of a failed “assassination” attempt in 1895, the Hentzi Monument was even implicated in the fall of a Hungarian prime minister.

  • Camoenae Hungaricae 3(2006)
    Camoenae Hungaricae 3(2006) SÁNDOR BENE ACTA PACIS—PEACE WITH THE MUSLIMS (Luigi Ferdinando Marsili’s plan for the publication of the documents of the Karlowitz peace treaty)* Scholars and spies Even during his lifetime, the keen mind of the Bologna-born Luigi Ferdinando Marsili was a stuff of legends—so much so that, soon after his death in 1730, the Capuchin monks of his city severed the head of the polymath count from his body and exhibited it in the crypt of their church on the Monte Calvario. Perhaps they hoped to benefit from the miraculous powers of one of the most enlightened minds of the century, perhaps they were under pressure from the beliefs of their flock to permit the veneration of the new, profane relic, it is hard to tell. In any case, the head was a peculiar testimony to the cult of relics, apparently including the bodily remains of scholars, which refused to die down in the age of reason—until it was eventually reunited with its body in the Certosa ceme- tery in the early 19th century when Napoleon disbanded the monastic orders.1 It is not inconceivable that the head of the count granted a favour or two to those beseeching it, however, the whole thing did constitute a rather improper use for a human head… At any rate, the story is highly emblematic of the way that Marsili’s legacy—an in- credibly valuable collection of nearly 150 volumes of manuscripts2—was treated by re- searchers of later generations. Scholarly interest in the Marsili papers was divided according to the researchers’ fields of interest—the botanists looked for material on plants,3 cartogra- * The preparation of this paper has been supported by the OTKA research grant Documents of the Euro- pean Fame of Miklós Zrínyi (Nr T 037477) but I have been regularly visiting Bologna for research purposes since 1997.

  • Hungary's Relations with the Ottoman Empire
    HUNGARY’S RELATIONS WITH THE OTTOMAN EMPİRE GEZA FEHER* The paths of the Turkish and Hungarian peoples, from their prehistory to these days have been connected by hundreds of threads. An objective evaluation of the connection between Turkey and Hungary in the 16th-17th centuries /the Turkish occupation of Hungary/, as well as in the 18th-19th centuries /a generous relation, fruitful for both parties/ requires going back to the most ancient past common to them. As far as we know at present, the original home of the Hungarian na- tion /the Magyars/—whose way of life at that time was determined by fishing and hunting— might have been at the western ranges of the Ural, in the provinces around the rivers Volga and Kama. After migrating from the original home southward, the Hungarian nation lived, for centuries, in the neighbourhood of Iranian and Turkish-speaking tribes, in the northen region of the Eurasian steppes. Here the Hungarians, though at a slow pace, changed över to animal keeping. When their culture and economy had changed, their vocabulary became enriched with Iranian and Turkish words. However, the ansvvers to the questions that might be raised in con­ nection with this process, are given, as we have not any written sources, first of ali by the results of linguistics, archeology, and anthropology. In the second half of the 5th century, when, in a wave of the great invasions, the Turkish peoples dragged the Hungarian nation along with them, and, hence, the latter drifted to the south of its earlier settlement, to the coast of the Black Sea and the regions beside the river Kuban, the connection between the two nations became closer.

    Izabella Papp The Son of a GreeK Merchant in Dió szeg in the Hungarian war of Independence Pál Kiss, honvéd-general 1809-1867 The revolution and war of independence in 1848-1849 has been the most glorious period of Hungarian history. Its participants have become ideals, its heroes are surrounded with legends, its memories helped to keep national awareness alive in times of later oppression. Its traditions and emblems survived and became national symbols. Even its defeat was heroic, as it expresses the desire of a small nation for freedom and its brave opposition to foreign power1. The main aims of the revolution on 15 March, 1848 were to terminate feudalism and create the conditions of bourgeois development. Contemporary politicians did not have the same opinion on what these conditions were. István Széchenyi found it possible for Hungary to be reformed within the Habsburg empire12. His political opponent Lajos Kossuth thought that a radical change was essential, Hungary had to become independent of the monarchy3. Later events proved him right; 1. Several works describe the 1848-1849 war of independence and there appeared memoirs of its participants. General analysis in recent historical works: Magyarország története, 1848-1890, Vol. 6, ed. Endre Kovács, Budapest, 1987, pp. 61-423; Iván Bertényi, Gábor Gyapay, Magyarország rövid története, Budapest, 1992, pp. 364-397. 2. István Széchenyi (1791-1860) was an outstanding figure of the Reform Era. It was him who founded the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, controlled the river Tisza, and built the Chain Bridge in Budapest. He was the minister of transport in the first Hungarian government.

Although the original concept, as set forth by Michael Roberts in 1955, did not single out firearms technology, in the influential elaboration of the the- sis by Geoffrey Parker (1988), firearms and artillery fortifications (trace italienne, which were developed in response to artillery firepower) became the main building blocks of the thesis. According to the thesis, the new fortresses required much larger armies to successfully besiege them, leading to a dramatic increase in the size of European armies. To build and maintain artillery fortifications, large artillery trains and ever larger armies in turn required a more centralized government. Thus, the introduction of firearms led to the rise of centralized states in Europe—and, on a global scale, to the “rise of the West.”1 * I thank Edmund Burke and the late Jerry Bentley for commissioning this article.

Introduction: Reform and Related Concepts To ask the question “Was there a Tanzimat Social Reform?” might seem like heresy to a devoted pro-Turkish or Turkish nationalist scholar. That social change occurred, one cannot doubt. But most of the changes occurred less as the result of any specific reform party, and simply through the processes of time. The exertions of groups or individuals limited to their own spheres of activity also had an effect upon social changes within the Ottoman Empire. Social reform has historically evolved either through the efforts of a reform party in a democratic or republican society —the abolitionists of the United States in the early to mid-19th-century, for example— or the mandate of an autocratic or to­ talitarian regime —national-Socialist and Communist social engineering in Germany and the Soviet Union respectively in the 20th century. In­ tention to reform is simply not enough to say that a reform occurred. Evidence for the Ottoman Empire suggests that even in the Tanzimat, liberal reformers who hoped to make substantive social changes often went into compulsory exile. Reformers who remained in place in the Ot­ toman state sought to implement a regime of social stasis without any effort to understand the very real changes gripping society at every level. What else could one expect in an era of Restoration? Scholars have generally associated the 19th-century Ottoman re­ forms collectively known as the Tanzimat in Ottoman and Turkish sources with an Enlightenment approach to society. A close examina­ tion of the sources at numerous levels indicates that the influence of the Enlightenment was almost nonexistent.

  • A Budai Vár Szerepe Az 1849. Évi Tavaszi Hadjáratban
    KEDVES GYULA A BUDAI VÁR SZEREPE AZ 1849. ÉVI TAVASZI HADJÁRATBAN A főváros birtoklása mindig is elsőrangú politikai jelentőségűnek számított a mindenkori hatalom számára, így volt ez Magyarországon is, ezért nem csodálható, hogy 1848—49 fordulóján a forradalmi erők, de még inkább a császári-királyi hadvezetés fokozott érdeklődéssel fordult a magyar főváros felé. Utóbbi egyene­ sen hadműveleti középpontjának jelölte ki, birtokba vételével egyúttal a forradalmi erők végső megsem­ misítését is remélve. Nem véletlen különben, hogy az 1849. január 2-án Pesten összeülő magyar haditanács­ ban - amelynek az elkövetkezendő időszak hadműveleti tervének irányát kellett kijelölnie - politikailag vált hangsúlyossá az a vélemény, amely szerint semmi szín alatt nem lehet a főváros harc nélküli feladásába be­ lemenni. Csány László teljes hatalmú országos kormánybiztossal szemben a katonák viszont egyértelműen csak a katonai szempontokat érvényesítve elérték, hogy a magyar erők összpontosításának érdekében felad­ ják a fővárost. Amint a honvédsereg erői lehetővé tették az ellentámadást, a magyar haditervek legfőbb kér­ dése a főváros visszafoglalása lett, igazából csak ennek mikéntje volt kérdéses. A magyar fősereg tavaszi ellentámadása a császári hadvezetés számára - de az európai közvélemény számára is - hihetetlen eredményt produkált: ütközetek és csaták sorozatában verték meg a császári-királyi csapatokat. Azt is hozzá kell tennünk azonban, hogy a március 30-i egri haditerv eredeti célkitűzését - a főváros visszafoglalását - nem sikerült első nekifutásra elérni. Az isaszegi győzelmet követően április 7-én Gödöllőn ült össze Kossuth Lajos és a hadsereg vezetése, hogy döntést hozzon a további hadműveletekről. Kossuth a fővárosba szorult császári fősereg elleni frontális támadást erőltette, hogy a politikai cél - a sza­ bad Pest-Buda - minél hamarabb elérhető legyen.
