Prayer on the Prophet constitutes a common practice for all Muslims, often based on collections of taṣliyas that started appearing from the 14th century. This study aims at tracing the early developments of this literature, from jurisprudential works on the liceity and merits of the practice, to the naissance of new and articulated forms of prayer. This will also help detecting the role played by the institutionalization of Sufism in shaping the approach to the figure of the Prophet outside Sufi circles.

In Anatolian and Turkish culture, since Shamanic times, deer has often been considered as sacred, rather than a game animal. Through this perspective, many deer-related narratives were formed and became a part of the folklore. This motif can also be seen in the modern narratives of Turkish literature. Necati Cumalı’s play, Yaralı Geyik (The Wounded Deer, 1979) based on a folk ballad, tells the story of a deer hunt and the curse of that deer upon people. Another example, Murathan Mungan’s play, Geyikler ve Lanetler (Deer and Curses, 1992) again nourished by folkloric tradition, focuses on a curse caused by a deer that is hunted during her pregnancy. This article focuses on a more contemporary narrative, Yusuf Bulut’s story Livera Geyikleri (The Deer of Livera, 2011) which uses the same pattern too. However this time a new element is added considering the ‘function’ of the myth, stressing a socio-historical problem, which is mübadele. For the population exchange between the Greek and Turkish people in 1923 shows itself as the main thematic concern in The Deer of Livera, how the story benefits from the possibilities of myth will be questioned in the article and an English translation of the story will be presented.
在安纳托利亚和土耳其文化中,自萨满时代以来,鹿经常被认为是神圣的,而不是狩猎动物。通过这种视角,形成了许多与鹿有关的叙事,并成为民间传说的一部分。这种主题也可以在土耳其文学的现代叙事中看到。Necati Cumalı的戏剧《受伤的鹿》(YaralıGeyik,1979)根据民间叙事曲改编,告诉了一场猎鹿的故事和鹿对人们的诅咒。另一个例子是,穆拉坦·芒根的戏剧《Geyikler ve Lanetler》(《鹿与诅咒》,1992年)再次受到民俗传统的滋养,聚焦于一只在怀孕期间被猎杀的鹿引起的诅咒。这篇文章关注的是一个更现代的叙事,优素福·布鲁特的故事《利维拉的鹿》(The Deer of Livera,2011)也使用了同样的模式。然而,这一次添加了一个新的元素,考虑到神话的“功能”,强调了一个社会历史问题,那就是mübadele。由于1923年希腊和土耳其人民之间的人口交流是《利维拉之鹿》的主要主题,文章将质疑这个故事如何从神话的可能性中受益,并将提供这个故事的英文翻译。

This study analyses the Islamic authority and the nomadic political tradition in the 19th-century Khanate of Khiva. The Khivan Qongrat rulers relied on Islamic authority to justify their rule, owing to their non-Chinggisid lineage. The study also contrasts the devastation and prosperity brought about by the two ruling lineages, Chinggisid and Qongrat, as documented by the Khivan chroniclers. The study further explores the nomadic political tradition including the rituals of a Khan’s ascendance to the throne, the Qongrat Khans’ connection with the Kazakh Sultans of Junior Juz, and the royal charter within the Khorazm oasis. The khans as holy warriors against infidels, their coexistence with the Islamic saint Pahlavān Maḥmūd and their perception of the Ottoman sultan as the Caliph of the Sunni Muslim world and other mixed and multifaceted characteristics, reflective of the traditions of Central Eurasian rulers are also touched upon.

Afghanistan is the country in the world with the most SALW (small arms and light weapons). Contrary to what is usually assumed, the proliferation of modern firearms in the country did not start in the 1980s, but at the end of the 19th century, when Pashtun tribes acquired modern rifles and ammunition through a variety of means, mostly through smuggling. The paper investigates the illegal arms trade from the Gulf to the north-western Indian Frontier, an area of crucial importance for British imperial strategists and the Government of India, at a time of great power rivalry and a relative decline of Britain’s global influence.

The aim of the essay is to analyse the presence of Oriental characters in the patron saint’s Feast of San Gerardo, taking place in the city of Potenza on 29 May. After offering an insight into the integration of Oriental characters into Italian early modern culture, the paper will first focus on the ‘historicity’ of the Parata dei Turchi and its carnivalesque function. It will then move to the way in which the Turks were represented between the 19th and 20th centuries — that is, the period from which sources present it as an already long-established tradition — seeking to offer a contribution to the interpretation of the tradition of the parading of Turkish masks on the annual procession of San Gerardo.

This article illustrates aspects of modern Iraqi history, being concerned with the life and career of Yamen Yousef (Yāmēn Yūsif, Hebrew name: Yāmīn Ṣiyyōn [ben] Yōsēf [ben] Nissīm), an officer in the army of the Kingdom of Iraq, who was the commander in charge of the Baghdad Royal Arsenal in the 1930s, and earlier on had been one of the three young officers made to proclaim Iraq’s first king during the coronation ceremony. That up to the late 1930s he was commander in charge of the Baghdad Royal Arsenal is in retrospect surprising (and that late in that decade a false charge was made against him by the far right is unsurprising), in consideration of rising animosity towards his ethno-religious identity. This came to a breaking point when he resigned, thus reverting from the acquired status of a career in the service of the state, to private bourgeoisie: this was happening in the first decade of full independence, when Jewish civil servants were being dismissed in their droves, after having been co-opted into the process of nation-building, owing to their educational qualifications giving them for a while an advantage. This study contributes novel data and facets that enable a fairly novel, and certainly more nuanced view of intercommunal relations in Iraq from late Ottoman times throughout the Hashemite monarchy (and beyond).
