The First World War, which began in 1914 (July 28, 1914), divided Ukrainian territories between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. During this time, a political movement called the "Union for the Liberation of Ukraine" was initiated by a six-member administrative team that gathered on August 4, 1914, with the aim of Ukraine's liberation. The names of these six individuals were Volodymyr Doroshenko, Marian Melenevsky, Andrii Zhuk, Mykola Zalizniak, Oleksander Skoropys-Yoltukhovsky, and Dmytro Dontsov. Based in Vienna, the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine made various publications to raise awareness in European public opinion and appealed for military support as well. While they part...

Nothing, says the Chevalier d’Ohsson, in his valuable inquiry concerning the Ottoman Empire, ought to be considered as more interesting than an acquaintance with different nations. Their religion, their history, their manners, and their customs, are worthy of the atteetion of every one. The more considerable a nation is in itself, the more connections it has with others, the more important its political situation, the more it deserves to be known, both by its neighbours, and those countries connected with its government or commerce...
Textiles were the second-most-traded commodity in all of world history, preceded only by grain. In the Ottoman Empire in particular, the sale and exchange of silks, cottons, and woolens generated an immense amount of revenue and touched every level of society, from rural women tending silkworms to pashas flaunting layers of watered camlet to merchants traveling to Mecca and beyond. Sea Change offers the first comprehensive history of the Ottoman textile sector, arguing that the trade's enduring success resulted from its openness to expertise and objects from far-flung locations. Amanda Phillips skillfully marries art history with social and economic history, integrating formal analysis of various textiles into wider discussions of how trade, technology, and migration impacted the production and consumption of textiles in the Mediterranean from around 1400 to 1800. Surveying a vast network of textile topographies that stretched from India to Italy and from Egypt to Iran, Sea Change illuminates often neglected aspects of material culture, showcasing the objects' ability to tell new kinds of stories.
Rus Mezalimi serlevhalı bu eser, Rusların Almanlara karşı uyguladığı zulümleri ihtiva etmektedir. Derleme bir risale şeklinde yayınlanan eserin yayın yılı, derleyen şahsın ismi veya nerede basıldığı meçhuldür. Maalesef içerisinde bir künye bölümü yoktur. İçerisinde, anlatılan olayların desteklenmesi için pek çok görsel kullanılmıştır. Biz de bu eseri şimdiki yayın âlemine böylece kazandırmış bulunuyoruz.
Osmanlı Türkçesinden halihazırdaki lisana naklini yaptığımız bu kitap, 1826 yılında kaldırılan Yeniçeri Ocağı ile birlikte lağvedilen “Yeniçeri Mehter Muzikası” yani “Mehter Takımı”nın 1911 yılında tekrar nevbet vurabilmesi vesilesiyle 1909-10 yıllarında hazırlanmıştır.
Yayına hazırladığımız eser, İtalyan ressam Jean Brindesi’nin çizdiği ve 1885 yılında Paris’te yayınlanan “Elbicei atika: Musée des anciens costumes turcs de Constantinople” isimli 22 resimden oluşan bir albümdür. Brindesi’nin İstanbul’da çizmiş olduğu bu resimler, Fransa’nın meşhur yayınevi Lemercier tarafından taş baskı olarak iki kısım olarak yayınlanmıştır. İlk kısım, yukarıda zikrettiğimiz veçhile Osmanlı saray vazifelilerini, padişahtan saray müezzinine kadar gösteren “Elbicei atika: Musée des anciens costumes turcs de Constantinople” isimli albümdür. Biz bu albümleri yayınlarken sadece görsellerle yetinmeyerek aynı zamanda resimde çizilen zatlar hakkında da kâfi miktarda bilgi vermeyi de münasip bulduk. İkinci kısım ise “Souvenir de Constantinople” ismindeki İstanbul’un muhtelif yerlerini ve halkını gösteren albümdür.
