Call Number: Olin DR435.A7ISBN: 1909382426Publication Date: Sarkis Y KarayanThis book is the singlemost important English-language publication on the demographic profile of Armenians in the late Ottoman Empire. It is based on a plethora of published and archival records, especially Armenian language materials that have not been cited in English language academic works. Such records are discussed at some length and should be an eyeopener to readers. Karayan also takes direct issue with some conventional works on the demography of the Ottoman Empire based on official Turkish archives. He makes a particularly poignant case study of his ancestral town of Aintab, showing the strength of the materials at his disposal and the weakness of official Turkish accounts for the city. Karayan lists over 4,000 Armenian inhabited towns and villages, replete with their old and new names, geographical coordinates, Armenian population as well as sources. According to Karayan, Ottoman Armenians numbered close to 2.5 million on the eve of WWI and the number who were lost in the Armenian Genocide was over 2 million people. His work includes a comprehensive index of village names for the perusal of readers.Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı İslâm ansiklopedisi / [Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı, İslâm Ansiklopedisi Genel Müdürlüğü].

ÇAĞATAY TÜRKÇESİ SÖZLÜKLERİ BİBLİYOGRAFYASI / [PDF] Farhad Rahimi = CHAGATAI TURKISH DICTIONARIES BIBLIOGRAPHY
Chagatai Turkish, the second period of the North-East Turkic language, is a writing language that the Eastern Turks continue to use from the beginning of the 15th century until the beginning of the 20th century. After Nevayi's death, various dictionaries began to be written on every corner of the world of Islam, so that his works could easily be read. These dictionaries, written mostly in the Ottoman Empire, Iran, Azerbaijan, India or Turkestan and having a great value for the history of Turkish language development have created a lexicographical schools. In this study, are given mainly Chagatai Turkish dictionaries and studies on them.

Türkiye’de İslâm Hukuku Çalışmaları Literatürü (1928-2012) [Islamic law - Bibliography.]
Hamdi Çilingir, M. Salih Eser ; [yayına hazırlayan Hüseyin Kader]. İstanbul : İSAR, İstanbul Araştırma ve Eğitim Vakfı yayınları, 2014 (iletişim, Ensar Neşriyat)
Literatür çalışmaları, geçmişte yapılan yayınların mahiyet ve şeceresini ortaya koyma yanında, gelecekte üretilecek bilgiye kaynaklık ve rehberlik etme, bilginin daha sıhhatli bir zeminde üretilmesine katkı sağlama konusunda önemli bir işlev görmektedir. Her alan için söz konusu olduğu gibi, Fıkıh/İslâm hukuku alanında araştırma yapanlar için de bu anlamda bir literatüre duyulan ihtiyaç izahtan vârestedir. Ancak, hukuk teorisinden hukuka, siyasetten ekonomiye, ibadetlerden ceza hukukuna, borçlar hukukundan aile hukukuna, insan haklarından çevre hukukuna kadar geniş bir alanla irtibatlı olan Fıkıh/İslâm hukukuna dair Cumhuriyet dönemi boyunca yayınlanmış akademik çalışmaların kapsamlı bir bibliyografyası bu güne kadar çıkarılmamıştır. Elinizdeki bu kitap, söz konusu eksikliği gidermek üzere hazırlanmış olup, 1928-2012 tarihleri arasında Türkçe olarak yayınlanmış kitap, tez, makale ve tebliğ mahiyetindeki akademik literatürü, konu başlıklarına göre ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Fıkıh/İslâm hukuku ile ilgili araştırmaların giderek genişlik ve derinlik kazandığı ülkemizde, böyle bir eserin, hem geçmiş çalışmaların değerlendirilmesi, hem de gelecek çalışmaların inşa edilmesine önemli bir katkı yapacağı açıktır.

ISBN: 9781474479363Publication Date: 2021-02-28Secularism and State Religion in Modern Turkey by
ISBN: 9781780766225Publication Date: 2017-12-30The Diyanet is the 'Presidency of Religious Affairs', the official face of Islam and highest religious authority in Turkey, and is a governmental department established in 1924 after the break-up of the Ottoman Empire. In this book, Emir Kaya offers an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis of this vital institution. Focusing on the role of the Diyanet in society, Kaya explores the balance the institution has to strike between the Islamic traditions of the Turkish population and the officially secular creed of the Turkish state. By examining the various laws that either bolstered or hindered the Diyanet's budgets and activities, Kaya highlights the institutional mindsets of the Diyanet membership as well as evaluating its successes and failures as a governmental department that has to consistently operate within the context of the religiosity of Turkish society. By situating all of this within the context of the two competing--but often complimentary--concepts of religion and secularism, Kaya offers a book that is important for those researching the role of religion and the state in society in the Middle East and beyond.The Routledge Handbook on Turkish Politics by
ISBN: 9781138500556Publication Date: 2019-04-07The Routledge Handbook of Turkish Politicspulls together contributions from many of the world's leading scholars on different aspects of Turkey. Its scope is widely comprehensive, covering all aspects of both formal and informal politics, highlighting how it is necessary to grasp the interlinkages between the different themes in order to fully understand Turkey today. Turkey is going through possibly the most turbulent period in its history, with major consequences both nationally and internationally. The country today looks dramatically different from the Republic founded by Atatürk in 1923. The pace of change has been rapid and fundamental, with core interlinked changes in ruling institutions, political culture, political economy, and society. Divided into six main parts, this Handbook provides a single-source overview of Turkish politics: Part I: History and the making of Contemporary Turkey Part II: Politics and Institutions Part III: The Economy, Environment and Development Part IV: The Kurdish Insurgency and Security Part V: State, Society and Rights Part VI: External Relations This comprehensive Handbookis an essential resource for students of Politics, International Relations, International/Security Studies with an interest on contemporary Turkey.Kitabiyat yazıları (1844-2014) by

The book provides a dialectical narrative for the emergence and development of the Turkish novel in order to highlight the genre's critical role within the modernization project. In doing so, it also delineates the changing forms the novel assumes in the Turkish context from a platform for new literature to a manifestation of crisis in the face of totalizing rationality. Vis-a-vis modernization's engagement with rationality, The Turkish Novel and the Quest for Rationality reveals unexplored ways of conceptualizing the development of the genre in non-western contexts.Fall of the Sultanate by

ISBN: 9780521133272Publication Date: 2017-06-08In writings about Islam, women and modernity in the Middle East, family and religion are frequently invoked but rarely historicized. Based on a wide range of local sources spanning two centuries (1660-1860), Beshara B. Doumani argues that there is no such thing as the Muslim or Arab family type that is so central to Orientalist, nationalist, and Islamist narratives. Rather, one finds dramatic regional differences, even within the same cultural zone, in the ways that family was understood, organized, and reproduced. In his comparative examination of the property devolution strategies and gender regimes in the context of local political economies, Doumani offers a groundbreaking examination of the stories and priorities of ordinary people and how they shaped the making of the modern Middle East.Turkey and the Politics of National Identity by
ISBN: 9780857724793Publication Date: 2014-09-19In the first decade of the twenty-first century Turkey experienced an extraordinary set of transformations. In 2001, in the midst of financial difficulties, the country was under IMF stewardship, yet it has recently emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. And on the international stage, Turkey has managed to enhance its position from being a backseat NATO member and outside candidate for EU membership to being an influential regional power, determining and developing its own individual foreign policy. Shane Brennan and Marc Herzog explore how these and other changes have shaped the way people in Turkey perceive themselves and how the country's self-image shapes its actions. Through different approaches engaging with politics, economy, society, culture and history, they offer new perspectives on the transformation of national identity in this increasingly influential country in the Middle East.

But the reality was starkly different: the Ottomans' multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious domain reached deep into Europe's heart. Indeed, the Ottoman rulers saw themselves as the new Romans. Recounting the Ottomans' remarkable rise from a frontier principality to a world empire, historian Marc David Baer traces their debts to their Turkish, Mongolian, Islamic, and Byzantine heritage. The Ottomans pioneered religious toleration even as they used religious conversion to integrate conquered peoples. But in the nineteenth century, they embraced exclusivity, leading to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and the empire's demise after the First World War.  The Ottomans vividly reveals the dynasty's full history and its enduring impact on Europe and the world.

Focusing on the field of study known as Orientalism in the decades around 1900, this volume examines how Semitists, Sinologists, and Japanologists, among others, conceived of their scholarly tasks, what sort of demands these job descriptions made on the scholar in terms of habits, virtues, and skills, and how models of being an orientalist changed over time under influence of new research methods, cross-cultural encounters, and political transformations.

From the last glimpses of gazi ideology and the first instances of Persian political philosophy in the fifteenth century until the apologists of Western-style military reform in the early nineteenth century, the author studies a multitude of theories and views, focusing on an identification of ideological trends rather than a simple enumeration of texts and authors. At the same time, the book offers analytical summaries of texts otherwise difficult to find in English.

What explains the persistence and change in state policies toward minorities and nationhood? Under what conditions do states change their policies toward minorities? Why do the state elites reconsider the state-minority relations and change government policies toward nationhood? Adopting a comparative-historical analysis, the book unpacks these research questions and builds a theoretical framework by looking at three paradigmatic policy changes: Ottomanism in the mid-19th century, Turkish nationalism in the early 1920s, and multiculturalism in Turkey in the early 2000s. While the book reveals the role of international context, intrastate elite competition, and non-state actors in such policy changes, it argues that state elites adopt either exclusionary or inclusionary policies based on the idea of "survival of the state." The book is primarily an important contribution to studies in ethnicity and nationalism. It is also an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Comparative Politics, Middle East Studies, the Ottoman Empire, and Turkey.

While the Empire sought modernization through military and administrative reform, it also lost much of its influence on the European stage through war and revolt. In this book, Ethan L. Menchinger sheds light on intellectual life, politics, and reform in the Empire through the study of one of its leading intellectuals and statesmen, Ahmed Vsıf. Vsıf's life reveals new aspects of Ottoman letters - heated debates over moral renewal, war and peace, justice, and free will - but it also forces the reappraisal of Ottoman political reform, showing a vital response that was deeply enmeshed in Islamic philosophy, ethics, and statecraft. Tracing Vsıf's role through the turn of the nineteenth century, this book opens the debate on modernity and intellectualism for those students and researchers studying the Ottoman Empire, intellectual history, the Enlightenment, and Napoleonic Europe.
ISBN: 9781107197978Publication Date: 2017-08-10Islands of the Ottoman Empire by Islands have no single obvious attribute, geographic or otherwise. Insularity, then, should not be taken literally and imply isolation; rather it is about what it means to be an island. This volume employs this concept analytically to study islands as a constituent part of the Ottoman world. Drawing attention to the interplay between the material and the mental, it explores how historical actors experience, imagine, and project their engagements with, and within, the spatial setting of islands. Islands are most commonly conceptualized as oscillating between connectivity and isolation. Contributions to this volume transcend this dichotomy by enquiring into alternative ways to understand insular space. Divided in three parts, the volume explores various historiographical conceptualizations of islands; the manifestations of violence and law in terraqueous spaces; and different ways in which the state has historically tried to regulate insular space.

Suleyman became besotted with her and foreswore all other concubines. Then, in an unprecedented step, he freed her and married her. The bold and canny Roxelana soon became a shrewd diplomat and philanthropist, who helped Suleyman keep pace with a changing world in which women, from Isabella of Hungary to Catherine de Medici, increasingly held the reins of power. Until now Roxelana has been seen as a seductress who brought ruin to the empire, but in Empress of the East, Peirce reveals the true history of an elusive figure who transformed the Ottoman harem into an institution of imperial rule.

- The King–Crane Commission (King-Crane Commission Digital Collection - Oberlin College)*Restoring Lost Voices of Self-Determination*
The King–Crane Commission, officially called the 1919 Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey, was an official investigation by the United States government concerning the disposition of non-Turkish areas within the former Ottoman Empire. It was conducted to inform American policy about the region's people and their desired future in regard to the previously decided partitioning of the Ottoman Empire and the League of Nations Mandate System. The Commission visited areas of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Anatolia, surveyed local public opinion, and assessed its view on the best course of action for the region. The Commission was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson and comprised Henry Churchill King and Charles R. Crane. It began work in June 1919 and produced its report on 28 August 1919, though the report was not published until 1922. - Miscellanea documenti turchi Venetian State Archives (Archivio di Stato di Venezia)Venetian State Archives (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) made available collection of (mostly) Ottoman documents under a collective title.

Conversion of Maliyya, Islamic and Christian dates
Conversion of Maliyya, Islamic and Christian dates. The Maliyya (or Maliyye, Maliye) calendar became the official calendar in the Ottoman Empire by order of Selim III in 1789 A.D., but it was already in use since 1677 A. D. It is based on the Julian calendar concerning the lengths of the months and the leap years. The beginning of the year was the 1st of Adar (corresponding to 1st of March in the Julian calendar). At the beginning of each year the number of the year was chosen to be identical to the year of the traditional Hijri calendar at this day. Therefore after approximately 32 years a jump in the number of the year occurred (e. g. after 1220 followed 1222 and after 1254 followed 1256). This rule was broken in 1888 A.D. when it was decided to continue the sequence of years without a gap. Therefore in the following period until the abrogation of the Maliyya calendar in 1928 there is a difference in the number of the years in the Maliyya and the Islamic calendar of up to three. In addition to the Gregorian calendar, the Julian calendar is provided for didactic reasons, or eventually for the conversion of historical Julian dates (e.g. form Protestant countries of from Russia).
