The Crisis of Kingship in Late Medieval Islam
Explores how a new conception of kingship helped transform the Ottoman Empire, from regional dynastic sultanate to global empire.
Shahnama Studies II
This volume explores different aspects of the reception of Firdausi’s Shahnama or ‘Book of Kings’, both within Iran and in neighbouring lands. Later poets and writers not only looked to Firdausi’s work for a model, but supplemented its stories with other narratives or absorbed the characters and the moral values of the poem into their own works. Several chapters focus on the literary traditions fed by the Shahnama, including reports of the continuing oral performances of its more popular stories. Others discuss Firdausi’s impact on the creative imagination of the miniature painters who illustrated manuscript copies of the Shahnama in the courts of the Ottoman Empire, Moghul India, and the Central Asia Khanates up till the seventeenth century. Contributors include Gabrielle van den Berg, Francesca Leoni, Farhad Mehran, Bilha Moor, Adeela Qureshi, Ravshan Rahmoni, Julia Rubanovich, Karin Ruehrdanz, Jan Schmidt, Ivan Steblin-Kamenski, Zeren Tanindi, Lâle Uluç, Evangelos Venetis, Olga Yastrebova, and Marjolijn van Zutphen.
The Mamluk-Ottoman Transition
While the Ottoman conquest of the Mamluk realm in 1516-17 doubtlessly changed the balance of political power in Egypt and Greater Syria, the changes must be seen as a wide-ranging transition process. The present collection of essays provides several case studies on the changing situation during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and explains how the reconfiguration of political power affected both Egypt and Greater Syria. With reference to the first volume (2017), this second volume continues the debate on key issues of the transition period with contributions by scholars from both Mamluk and Ottoman studies. By combining these perspectives, the authors provide a more comprehensive and nuanced picture of the process of transformation from Mamluk to Ottoman rule.
Ottoman Turkish and Çaĝatay MSS in Canada
There are over 275 Ottoman Turkish and Çaĝatay manuscripts in Canada, including more than 200 in the collection of Professor Eleazar Birnbaum. These are remarkable in terms of age (mostly 15th to 17th century) and subject range. The descriptions in this catalogue are unusually detailed: they include author, title, subject, contents, first and last words, date of manuscript, calligraphy, foliation, dimensions, and the location of similar manuscripts elsewhere. Among other special features are details of watermark designs in the paper (useful for dating undated manuscripts), descriptions of seals and notes of previous owners, and many colour illustrations. The catalogue also describes all Turkish manuscripts in the three other small Canadian collections: at the University of Toronto, McGill University (Montreal), and the Royal Ontario Museum.
The Ottomans and the Mamluks
Beginning on the eve of Oceanic exploration, and the first European forays into the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, The Ottomans and the Mamluks traces the growth of the Ottoman Empire from a tiny Anatolian principality to a world power, and the relative decline of the Mamluks - historic defenders of Mecca and Medina and the rulers of Egypt and Syria. Cihan Yüksel Muslu traces the intertwined stories of these two dominant Sunni Muslim empires of the early modern world, setting out to question the view that Muslim rulers were historically concerned above all with the idea of Jihad against non-Muslim entities. Through analysis of the diplomatic and military engagements around the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean, Muslu traces the interactions of these Islamic super-powers and their attitudes towards the wider world. This is the first detailed study of one of the most important political and cultural relationships in early-modern Islamic history.
Osmanlı İmparatorluk İdeolojisi
Osmanlı İmparatorluk İdeolojisi, 1451-1603 yılları arasındaki eserlerden hareketle dönemin ayırt edici özelliklerini tespit etmeyi hedefleyerek edebiyat eserlerinin sosyal bilimler alanındaki çalışmalarda dikkate alınmasının önemine işaret ediyor. Klasik çağ, gerek telif gerek tercüme eserler açısından oldukça zengin bir dönemi temsil eder. Bu eserlerin incelenmesi dönemin hâkim normlarını, zihniyet kalıplarını ve siyasetini anlamak açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu anlama sürecinde, eser sahiplerinin “asıl” niyetleri, padişaha, saray çevresine ve bürokratlara yakınlıkları, din, mezhep ve tarikat mensubiyetleri gibi belirleyici etkiye sahip öz...
Çeviri Kuramları ve Çeviri Eğitimi
Çeviri alanında kuram-eğitim-pratik ilişkisini bir arada, kuramsal bir çerçevede inceleyen bir çalışmanın yapılması oldukça önemlidir. Bu anlamda bu çalışmanın çeviribilim açısından önemli bir sorunu tartıştığını söyleyebiliriz. Kuram-pratik ilişkisinin işlendiği çalışmalara sıkça rastlanmakla birlikte, çeviri kuramının çeviri eğitimine yansıması ve bunun sonucunda pratiğe etkisine dair çalışmalara rastlamak zordur. Böyle bir çalışmanın kuramsal dayanaklarının oluşması ve bu kuramsal dayanakların çeviri alanını yansıtması gerekliydi. Kuram-eğitim-uygulama üçlüsünün çeviri alanını oluşturduğuna dair bir iddianın kuram...
