Dimensions of Transformation in the Ottoman Empire from the Late Medieval Age to Modernity

The Eastern Orthodox Churches
This guide to the Eastern Orthodox churches of the world is presented in alphabetical order by their chief sees or national boundaries. Each entry includes a brief summary of the church's history; the location, number, and language of its members; the official title of the primate; the language used in the church; primary sources for the entry; and a chronology of the reigns of the church's primates from its founding to the present day. A concise preface explains the criteria used to include churches in the book and the process by which the entries were created. Descriptions of more than 75 churches make up the bulk of the volume. Following the individual entries are tables presenting comparative names of the primates (rendered in transcriptions of their original languages); statistical information about the primates (most common names, longest reigns); and current hierarchs as of 2004, arranged by church, date of accession, and date of birth. A glossary, selected bibliography and general index complete the work.
Cities and Cultural Landscapes
Places are locations of value where psychological and cultural needs are satisfied. Human relationships with particular environments play a key role in motivating, developing, and nurturing the life of societies. Undifferentiated space becomes ‘place’ as we understand it better and its built and natural forms become endowed with value. However, misunderstanding the critical importance of heritage locations, particularly based on rejection of local and regional distinctiveness, has often led to their destruction. Featuring essays from across central Europe and beyond, and aimed at practitioners, decision makers and concerned citizens alike, this book raises awareness about the responsibility that we bear for every action taken that modifies the formal and socio-cultural context. Potentially, these actions can negatively impact the cultural landscape. Learning to recognize the essential value of heritage to the ‘place-ness’ of our cities and landscapes is vital in helping us to preserve and enjoy their intrinsic beauty and cultural importance.
Boğaziçi'nde Bir Gezinti
Byzantionlu Dionysios hakkında neredeyse hiç bir bilgi yoktur. Eserden, MS 1. ve/ya 2. yüzyılda yaşadığı anlaşılmaktadır. MS 10. yüzyılda kaleme alınan Suda isimli Bizans ansiklopedisinin kaydettiğine göre Dionysios, Anaplous Bosporou’dan (Boğaziçi’nde bir Gezinti) başka Peri threnon (Ağıtlar Üzerine) adlı bir eser kaleme almıştır. Adı geçen diğer eser günümüze ulaşmamıştır.
İstanbul’un Pagan Çağı
Marmaray kazılarıyla zenginleşen tarihi buluntular, çok farklı bir İstanbul tarihini çıkarıyor gün ışığına... Bu kez ilk çağlara kadar geri dönebiliyoruz... Kazılarda hangi eserlere ulaşıldı, hangileri toprağın derinliklerine üstelik sonsuza dek terk edildi? İstanbul’un pagan çağında neler yaşandı? Bu kadim şehrin kuruluş efsanesini dinlemeye hazır olun... Bir şehrin kuruluşundaki tanrısallık ya da olağanüstülük, şehrin varoluşu boyunca ona eşlik edecek bir kutsallığı oluşturur ve bu da o şehrin varoluşunu haklı kılar, hatta o şehrin diğer şehirlere olan üstünlüğünü de belirler.İşte İstanbul böyle bir şehir... Elinizdeki kitabın konusu İstanbul’un pagan çağı... Yani ilk zamanlarından itibaren, Hıristiyanlığın hâkimiyetine kadar geçen süreç... İstanbul’un ilk dönemlerinin tarihi, birkaç akademik yayın dışında popüler bir yayın olarak hiç yayımlanmadı. İstanbul’un antik tarihinin büyük kitleler tarafından bilinmesi gerektiğini düşünerek bu kitabı yayıma hazırladık.
Die gedruckten griechischen Beichtbücher zur Zeit der Türkenherrschaft
In diesem Werk werden die gedruckten griechischen Beichtbücher erstmals einer umfassenden Untersuchung unterzogen. Diese Bücher, welche zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts im orthodoxen Osten aufgetauchten, genossen zu ihrer Zeit eine einmalige Popularität. Von der Geschichte der Beichtbücher ausgehend, liefert diese Arbeit neue, höchst interessante Erkenntnisse über die große Auseinandersetzung zwischen dem Patriarchen Konstantinopels Kyrillos Loukaris und der Propaganda de Fide sowie über die Rolle der protestantischen Mächte in diesem Konflikt. Untersucht wird ferner die Rolle der Beichtbücher in den Bestrebungen einflussreicher Griechen der venezianischen Besatzungsgebiete, in Zusam...
