Papers by Ferenc Tóth
The failed independence struggles at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries contributed to the emergence of Hungarian émigré colonies in the Ottoman Empire. During the exile of Prince Francis II Rákóczi (1717-1735), relations between the Muslim and Hungarian elites were strengthened with the support of the French embassy in the Ottoman capital. The prince surrounded himself with experts in oriental languages and civilisations and played an inter- mediary role between the authorities of the Sublime Porte and the European embassies. From his entourage emerged the versatile figure Ibrahim Müteferrika, a Transylvanian renegade who later became a key player in diplomatic relations and the transfer of knowledge in the cosmopolitan circles of Constantinople. The center of Hungarian emigration established in the city of Rodosto thus became a crossroads of people and ideas between East and West which inspired many diplomatic projects and several original works on the Ottoman Empire.
François baron de Tott was well known in Europe and he was also considered as one of the most important western modernizers of Ottoman Empire. His memoirs contain the history of his oriental missions. This work had a great success because it was made by an expert of oriental a airs, and because of his participation to the philosophical debate on oriental despotism.
