ABSTRACT:The value of folk songs for understanding the emotional impact of major events on ordinary people is indisputable. This article traces the varied impact on women left behind due to male migration from Cappadocia to big cities of opportunity in the late Ottoman Empire through a specific category of songs: the songs of "the expatriate's wife". While illuminating the stories of culturally muted Orthodox Christian women in Cappadocia through the testimonies found in the Oral Tradition Archive of the Centre for Asia Minor Studies, this study carries out a study of emotional archeology with the songs found in the same archive.

ABSTRACT:This article revisits the Tanzimat, without taking for granted its usual treatment as a self-contained story, part of the global march of progress and reform. It undertakes a comparative textual analysis of the two founding documents of the Tanzimat paradigm, the imperial edicts of 1839 and 1856. These texts, it is shown, bespeak different conceptual grammars: whereas the former is anchored in the Ottoman and Islamic tradition (the Quran, the Prophet, the shariʿa, the all-encompassing embrace of imperial justice and the personal ethics of the sultan), the latter is framed in terms of imperial dignity, civilized nations, and the rationality of international law and enacts the equality of subjects by the institutionalization of sectarian affiliation. The period of the Tanzimat is thus better understood as split by an epistemic break rather than the steady continuity of progress assumed by the very concept of reform.

ABSTRACT:The nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw major building construction—churches, schools, hospitals, sports clubs, and apartment buildings—that went on alongside the political-administrative reforms of the Tanzimat, and then the infrastructure development under Abdülhamid II. This study sheds light on the lesser-known architects of community construction projects in Constantinople/Istanbul, so as to address questions about their background and the social context in which they lived. To answer these questions, we examine the case of architect Pericles Fotiades, who lived and worked in Constantinople in the last thirty-five years that it was imperial capital. The paper is a biographical essay on Fotiades and his architectural career, but also covers the architectural changes that occurred in Constantinople in the last four Ottoman decades. Finally, the publication presents the various buildings designed by Fotiades as well as his charitable work.

ABSTRACT:This study focuses on the history and development of the Rum communities (κοινότητες/communes) of Constantinople/Istanbul, meaning both "communities" in the abstract sense and "communities" as administrative entities with their own particular histories in the late Ottoman period. The focus is particularly on the empire's last century, the period 1821–1924, which is bookended by the Greek Revolution on the one hand and the Treaty of Lausanne and the population exchange between Greece and Turkey on the other. The study surveys the evolution of these administrative communities, including their changing number and the boundaries between them, as well as the changes that had an impact on the demographics, land planning, and administration. This is a history that is abundantly documented in Greek-language scholarship, but which is not integrated into mainstream Ottoman history conversations. The hope is to provide a basic working knowledge of the internal world and dynamics of the Rum communities of the Ottoman capital for an Ottomanist audience.
摘要:本研究主要研究君士坦丁堡/伊斯坦布尔的罗姆共同体(κοιν ν τητες/communes)的历史与发展,即抽象意义上的“共同体”和具有特殊历史的行政实体“共同体”。这本书的重点是奥斯曼帝国的最后一个世纪,即1821年至1924年,这一时期的结束,一方面是希腊革命,另一方面是《洛桑条约》(Treaty of Lausanne),以及希腊和土耳其之间的人口交换。该研究调查了这些行政社区的演变,包括它们的数量变化和它们之间的边界,以及这些变化对人口、土地规划和行政管理的影响。这段历史在希腊语学术中被大量记载,但并没有被纳入主流的奥斯曼历史对话中。希望为奥斯曼帝国的观众提供关于内部世界和奥斯曼首都朗姆酒社区动态的基本工作知识。

ABSTRACT:"Geredeli" İshak b. Murad—the author of the late fourteenth-century Anatolian Turkish text Edviye-i Müfrede (Simple Remedies)—has long been lauded by Turkish scholars as one of the earliest recorded contributors to the development of medical writing in Rum. Until now, very little has been known about the author other than an apparent connection to Gerede. This article presents compelling evidence that reveals details of the physician's identity and later life, based on a previously overlooked and skillfully illuminated Persian materia medica in the Chester Beatty also authored by İshak (al-Majmūʿa al-mubāriziyya, Per 317).
摘要:“Geredeli”İshak b. murad是14世纪晚期安纳托利亚土耳其文本Edviye-i m frede (Simple Remedies)的作者,长期以来一直被土耳其学者誉为朗姆酒医学文献发展的最早贡献者之一。到目前为止,除了与格莱德有明显的联系外,对作者知之甚少。这篇文章提供了令人信服的证据,揭示了这位医生的身份和晚年生活的细节,这些细节是基于以前被忽视的、巧妙地阐释了波斯本草的切斯特比蒂,也是由İshak撰写的(al- majmhi - al al-mubāriziyya,第317页)。
