Gerard Vissering and His Journey
On June 4, 1928, an unassuming older Dutchman, balding with round glasses and a gray mustache, arrived in Istanbul by boat from Venice, accompanied by his young wife and his assistant. Despite the early hour (around 4 a.m.), he was greeted by four distinguished gentlemen, all directors of the Turkish Business Bank (Türkiye İş Bankası). He wrote in his diary: “The reception was extremely friendly. They helped us get through passport control and customs. We drove to the Pera Palace Hotel, where we were given very good corner apartments on the second floor: living room, bedroom, bathroom. Everything old but still very good.”
In 1923, Turkey had risen as a republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, and the newly founded republic needed funds for the reconstruction of the country and to repay the debts of the old regime. Turkey wanted to establish its own national central bank, but how could it do so without foreign reserves?
The director of the newly founded Türkiye İş Bankası (Business Bank), later President Celal (Bayar) Bey, wanted to convert his bank into a Central Bank. He knew Vissering as someone highly respected in the financial world.
Vissering traveled through Turkey for four weeks, from Istanbul to Ankara. He met with the leaders of the new Turkey, as well as diplomats, journalists, and bankers. He recorded his observations in a diary that remained hidden for 100 years. The diary provides insight into the young republic and how a group of idealistic young men founded a state intended to put an end to the centuries-long lag of the Turks compared to the West.
Vissering's diary is published here in its entirety, with the Dutch text, Turkish translation, and other documents from the Nederlandsche Bank.

Through the phenomenon that is the subject of the study, the way in which the auction and sales process of a rare depiction is handled in the media, how the media is used as a marketing tool for the artwork, and a critical interpretation of the overlooked and missed elements in the whole process will be tried to be put forward. The year 2021 was officially declared the "Year of Haji Bektash Veli" by UNESCO. A miniature work, recorded in 2021 as the first painting depicting Hacı Bektaş, was recently sold at an auction in the Netherlands (June 8, 2021). The miniature, made by Üsküdarlı Ahmet in 1651, depicts Haji Bektash and his student Sarı Saltuk riding on a dragon. The story, which is the subject of the description, requires a series of analyzes whose meaning can be found in mythology and folk legends. Since the research covers a current issue with artistic foundations, the referenced sources vary, boundaries can be unclear. For this reason, document analysis, one of the data collection techniques, which is a qualitative research method, was used to collect data in the research. In addition, since the work that is the subject of the study is a miniature work, the visual work has been tried to be analyzed in terms of semiotics. The process of transforming works of art into commercial commodities through auctions is not a new development. As a natural consequence of the phenomenon of globalization, art has been turned into a valuable financial instrument today. What is new here is the current role the media plays in the marketing of art in all its forms. The artwork and the auction process, which are the subject of our review, give clues to all these new relationships. In the research, besides analyzing the visual spaces of the first painting depicting Haji Bektash; how the work is presented to the art market will be examined in the context of the culture industry (critical theory). The relationship of a work produced within the tradition of a belief institution (Bektashism) with the art market and consumption culture, the promotion and sales strategies carried out during the auction process will be discussed and examined.

1793'de İstanbul'da Hollanda büyükelçisi tercümanı Osmanlı VatandAşlı Gaspard Testa Hollandaya bir seyahate çıkar. Seyahatte 9 kişi vardır. Hollanda büyükelçisi Frederık Van Dedem , eşi, oğlu, tercümanı, kocası Anabaptist bir dul olan Marıa Wıjnands, Hiyeroglifleri ilk kez çözen bilim adamı, bir Tüccar, bir profesör ve başka bir bilinmeyen kişi bir posta arabasıyla 3 ay boyunca İstanbul2dan Hollanda'ya birlikte seyahat ederler. Frederik Van Dedem dokuz kişilik bu grupla birlikte kozmopolit bir şehir olan Konstantinopolis'ten Hollanda'ya doğru yola çıkar. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun başkentinde sekiz yıllık Hollanda büyükelçisiydi. 3 ay süren kara yolculuğu oldukça zahmetlidir. At arabaları komforlu değil, atlar zayıf, pek çok tehlike pusuda bekliyor: şiddetli yağmur, kötü yollar, zorlu dağ geçitleri, soyguncular, haşarat, kazalar ve hatta veba onların yıolunde engel tekil ediyor. Hollandadaki küçük bir köy olan Wijhe'de çıktıkları yolda Balkanlar, Avusturya ve Almanya'yı geçerler. O zamanlar sadece 23 yaşında olan Gaspard Testa, Şstanbul’daki büyükelçiliğin tercümanı ve sekreteridşr. Van Dedemin isteği üzerine bir günlük tutar. Güzel harflerle Fransızca yazılan günlükte ve yol boyunca rotayı, mesafeleri, manzaraları, nüfusu, yiyecekleri ve olayları anlatıyor. Osmanlı balkanları ve kırsalı izlenimlerini. Avusturya ve Almanya'daki Fransız Devriminın hırpalanmış bölgelerden geçer. Belgrad, Budapeşte, Viyana, Regensburg, Frankfurt ve Köln'ü ziyaret eder. Genç Gaspard Osmanlı gözlüğüyle Avrupa’yı temaşa eder. Grubumuz, Avusturya'nın (Kutsal Roma İmparatorluğu) Başkenti Viyana'da 17 gün kalır. Viyana gezi rehberi Gaspard ve büyükelçinin liderliğindeki grup, Viyana'da on yedi gün geçirir. Gaspard, akrabalarını ziyaret etme ve aynı zamanda Viyana'daki tüm turistik yerleri görme fırsatını kullanır. Belvedere, Schönbrun ve Lihtenştayn gibi tüm büyük sarayları, ayrıca Mıllı Kütüphaneyi, tiyatroları ve anıtları (Veba sütunu, Maria sütunu gibi), parklar ve kiliselerı ziyaret eder. Açıklamaları çok doğru, özel ve ayrıntılıdır. Modern bir gezgin için daha az dikkat çeken, Viyana'daki Askeri Hastane ve Doğu Akademisi gibi kurumları inceler. Ayrıca Viyana'daki bir porselen fabrikası gibi fabrikaları gezer. Viyana gezi rehberi niteliğindedir ve ilk gezi rehberlerinden biri olarak kabul edilebilir. Orijinal seyahat günlükleri Lahey'deki Ulusal Arşivlerındedir ve sayısız ayrıntı nedeniyle, on sekizinci yüzyılın sonunda bir Osmanlı vatandaşınıun gözüyle Avrupaya ve Türkiyeyeyi karşılaştırma imkanı sunmaktadır.

The purpose of the research paper is to publish and analyze the most interesting and unique complex of artifacts found at the bottom of the river, namely intact and fragmented marble tombstones, both with and without epitaphs. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, conducted by the expedition of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, it has become possible to expand significantly historical and archaeological knowledge about the history of the Izmail fortress during the late Ottoman period of its existence, mainly in the 18th – early 19th century. Conclusions. Thanks to a rare natural phenomenon and the attentiveness of local historians, the collection of Ottoman tombstones from Izmail is augmented with 10 marble objects all at the same time, on which there are four epitaphs. Although only one of them is dated 1749, which, unfortunately, does not extend the chronology of the known epitaphs of 1719-1756, however, the objects contain other, previously unknown historical information. On two slabs, former military men of the Ottoman Porte are mentioned – the shahid and officer Ismail Aga and the nameless janissary of the 12th Orta. From the inscription on the first of them, we learned about Ismail Aga’s father – Emrullah Çelebi, who could have been a resident of Izmail and a teacher at a local educational institution. We should also mention the slab with the names of God, which could have been the amulet of the only preserved mosque in Izmail. Keywords: Izmail, marble tombstones, Ottoman epitaphs, epigraphy, new artifacts

Abstract The idea of closing the waterways with chaimn was a method used since the Middle Ages as a defensive measure in the military defense. It is known that for the first time in Turkish history, this came to the fore with the Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who changed the game of Byzantium, who closed the Golden Horn to ships with a chain and transported the ships by Land. Some parts of this chain are still kept in various museums in Turkey. In addition to this, another big iron chain, which is surrounded by many mysteries on the Danube river and is exhibited in the military museum in Vienna today. Since it did not fit in one piece in the two buildings the military museum in Vienna, where it is exhibited, and it was extended in 4 arms and laid on the ground, and it is a work of magnificent ironwork. This chain, which does not attract much attention, sheds light on an unknown aspect of Turkish history. In the short examination we made in the museum, it was determined that the chains were made of wrought iron. In this respect, under suitable conditions, it does not undergo corrosion for many years. The patina layer formed as a result of the oxidation of iron forms a black protective layer between the iron and the atmosphere. In this article the reamsrkable history of the Grat Danube chain and its mysteries will be revealed.

In Turkey, some highly qualified assessments have been made about the tombstones in the graves of important Bektashi lodges in the Balkans. The fact that there were differences in method among them and the examination of the examples in a dervish lodge led to the inability to reach an inclusive conclusion. With this article, a general evaluation has been made for the first time according to a single method based on all the examples in the publications and theses. For the first time, general results based on the form such as the body, the headgear, the teslim stone and the expressions related to Bektashism in the inscriptions have been tried to be put forward. Bektashism-Alevism and Janissary quarry relations are so intertwined that they cannot be easily separated in any case. There are many difficulties in separating Alevi and Janissary tombstones as well as for Bektashis. For this reason, we did not include the Alevi and Janissary tombstones in the scope of the subject. We identified 488 specimens (432 heads, 56 feet) that were shown as Bektashism with their inscriptions from the 48,870 tombstones that we entered in our data log, and visual elements such as headgear and teslim stone. Although they are buried in Bektashi lodges - tombs, we have excluded the tombstones without these elements. This data also gave the result that the tombstones in Bektashi burials had the same characteristics as the general ones in Turkey. For example, all of those in Merdivenköy Kırklar Graveyard and seventy percent of those in Rumelihisarı Lodge do not have Bektashi ties. On the other hand, 60 (49 heads, 11 feet) excluding Bektashi burials which are given at the and of list, which do not have a sect name and have expressions that we find only on the tombstones of the Bektashis such as Ahl al-Bayt, Karbala, as well as the Khalwatī, Mawlawī, Naqshibandī, Saʿdī, Sünbülī sect tombstones. Since our examples are from the years 1604 to 1945, our date limit was the 17th to 20th centuries. We have handled our examples in two main clusters, according to the lodge order, as dervish and father dervish officers, and dervish lodge followers, consisting of soldiers, civil servants, shopkeepers and their relatives, apart from the lodge. Apart from the 432 head stone fractures, 234 (54%) were made for officials, 195 (45%) were made for the relatives, dependents and relatives of the officials. When we consider Bektashism as certain, we have identified 18 title types in 3 main clusters: 24 body types, 2-sliced elifi, 4-sliced edhemi and 12-sliced huseyni. The titles are as high as 72.5%. The rate of expression patterns such as hu, hu dost (friend), ya hu is 40.1%, but these patterns are also seen in other sects such as the Mawlawī.

1793'de İstanbul'da Hollanda büyükelçisi tercümanı Osmanlı VatandAşlı Gaspard Testa Hollandaya bir seyahate çıkar. Seyahatte 9 kişi vardır. Hollanda büyükelçisi Frederık Van Dedem , eşi, oğlu, tercümanı, kocası Anabaptist bir dul olan Marıa Wıjnands, Hiyeroglifleri ilk kez çözen bilim adamı, bir Tüccar, bir profesör ve başka bir bilinmeyen kişi bir posta arabasıyla 3 ay boyunca İstanbul2dan Hollanda'ya birlikte seyahat ederler. Frederik Van Dedem dokuz kişilik bu grupla birlikte kozmopolit bir şehir olan Konstantinopolis'ten Hollanda'ya doğru yola çıkar. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun başkentinde sekiz yıllık Hollanda büyükelçisiydi. 3 ay süren kara yolculuğu oldukça zahmetlidir. At arabaları komforlu değil, atlar zayıf, pek çok tehlike pusuda bekliyor: şiddetli yağmur, kötü yollar, zorlu dağ geçitleri, soyguncular, haşarat, kazalar ve hatta veba onların yıolunde engel tekil ediyor. Hollandadaki küçük bir köy olan Wijhe'de çıktıkları yolda Balkanlar, Avusturya ve Almanya'yı geçerler. O zamanlar sadece 23 yaşında olan Gaspard Testa, Şstanbul’daki büyükelçiliğin tercümanı ve sekreteridşr. Van Dedemin isteği üzerine bir günlük tutar. Güzel harflerle Fransızca yazılan günlükte ve yol boyunca rotayı, mesafeleri, manzaraları, nüfusu, yiyecekleri ve olayları anlatıyor. Osmanlı balkanları ve kırsalı izlenimlerini. Avusturya ve Almanya'daki Fransız Devriminın hırpalanmış bölgelerden geçer. Belgrad, Budapeşte, Viyana, Regensburg, Frankfurt ve Köln'ü ziyaret eder. Genç Gaspard Osmanlı gözlüğüyle Avrupa’yı temaşa eder. Grubumuz, Avusturya'nın (Kutsal Roma İmparatorluğu) Başkenti Viyana'da 17 gün kalır. Viyana gezi rehberi Gaspard ve büyükelçinin liderliğindeki grup, Viyana'da on yedi gün geçirir. Gaspard, akrabalarını ziyaret etme ve aynı zamanda Viyana'daki tüm turistik yerleri görme fırsatını kullanır. Belvedere, Schönbrun ve Lihtenştayn gibi tüm büyük sarayları, ayrıca Mıllı Kütüphaneyi, tiyatroları ve anıtları (Veba sütunu, Maria sütunu gibi), parklar ve kiliselerı ziyaret eder. Açıklamaları çok doğru, özel ve ayrıntılıdır. Modern bir gezgin için daha az dikkat çeken, Viyana'daki Askeri Hastane ve Doğu Akademisi gibi kurumları inceler. Ayrıca Viyana'daki bir porselen fabrikası gibi fabrikaları gezer. Viyana gezi rehberi niteliğindedir ve ilk gezi rehberlerinden biri olarak kabul edilebilir. Orijinal seyahat günlükleri Lahey'deki Ulusal Arşivlerındedir ve sayısız ayrıntı nedeniyle, on sekizinci yüzyılın sonunda bir Osmanlı vatandaşınıun gözüyle Avrupaya ve Türkiyeyeyi karşılaştırma imkanı sunmaktadır.

The purpose of the research paper is to publish and analyze the most interesting and unique complex of artifacts found at the bottom of the river, namely intact and fragmented marble tombstones, both with and without epitaphs. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, conducted by the expedition of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, it has become possible to expand significantly historical and archaeological knowledge about the history of the Izmail fortress during the late Ottoman period of its existence, mainly in the 18th – early 19th century. Conclusions. Thanks to a rare natural phenomenon and the attentiveness of local historians, the collection of Ottoman tombstones from Izmail is augmented with 10 marble objects all at the same time, on which there are four epitaphs. Although only one of them is dated 1749, which, unfortunately, does not extend the chronology of the known epitaphs of 1719-1756, however, the objects contain other, previously unknown historical information. On two slabs, former military men of the Ottoman Porte are mentioned – the shahid and officer Ismail Aga and the nameless janissary of the 12th Orta. From the inscription on the first of them, we learned about Ismail Aga’s father – Emrullah Çelebi, who could have been a resident of Izmail and a teacher at a local educational institution. We should also mention the slab with the names of God, which could have been the amulet of the only preserved mosque in Izmail.

Abstract The idea of closing the waterways with chaimn was a method used since the Middle Ages as a defensive measure in the military defense. It is known that for the first time in Turkish history, this came to the fore with the Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who changed the game of Byzantium, who closed the Golden Horn to ships with a chain and transported the ships by Land. Some parts of this chain are still kept in various museums in Turkey. In addition to this, another big iron chain, which is surrounded by many mysteries on the Danube river and is exhibited in the military museum in Vienna today. Since it did not fit in one piece in the two buildings the military museum in Vienna, where it is exhibited, and it was extended in 4 arms and laid on the ground, and it is a work of magnificent ironwork. This chain, which does not attract much attention, sheds light on an unknown aspect of Turkish history. In the short examination we made in the museum, it was determined that the chains were made of wrought iron. In this respect, under suitable conditions, it does not undergo corrosion for many years. The patina layer formed as a result of the oxidation of iron forms a black protective layer between the iron and the atmosphere. In this article the reamsrkable history of the Grat Danube chain and its mysteries will be revealed.

In Turkey, some highly qualified assessments have been made about the tombstones in the graves of important Bektashi lodges in the Balkans. The fact that there were differences in method among them and the examination of the examples in a dervish lodge led to the inability to reach an inclusive conclusion. With this article, a general evaluation has been made for the first time according to a single method based on all the examples in the publications and theses. For the first time, general results based on the form such as the body, the headgear, the teslim stone and the expressions related to Bektashism in the inscriptions have been tried to be put forward. Bektashism-Alevism and Janissary quarry relations are so intertwined that they cannot be easily separated in any case. There are many difficulties in separating Alevi and Janissary tombstones as well as for Bektashis. For this reason, we did not include the Alevi and Janissary tombstones in the scope of the subject. We identified 488 specimens (432 heads, 56 feet) that were shown as Bektashism with their inscriptions from the 48,870 tombstones that we entered in our data log, and visual elements such as headgear and teslim stone. Although they are buried in Bektashi lodges - tombs, we have excluded the tombstones without these elements. This data also gave the result that the tombstones in Bektashi burials had the same characteristics as the general ones in Turkey. For example, all of those in Merdivenköy Kırklar Graveyard and seventy percent of those in Rumelihisarı Lodge do not have Bektashi ties. On the other hand, 60 (49 heads, 11 feet) excluding Bektashi burials which are given at the and of list, which do not have a sect name and have expressions that we find only on the tombstones of the Bektashis such as Ahl al-Bayt, Karbala, as well as the Khalwatī, Mawlawī, Naqshibandī, Saʿdī, Sünbülī sect tombstones. Since our examples are from the years 1604 to 1945, our date limit was the 17th to 20th centuries. We have handled our examples in two main clusters, according to the lodge order, as dervish and father dervish officers, and dervish lodge followers, consisting of soldiers, civil servants, shopkeepers and their relatives, apart from the lodge. Apart from the 432 head stone fractures, 234 (54%) were made for officials, 195 (45%) were made for the relatives, dependents and relatives of the officials. When we consider Bektashism as certain, we have identified 18 title types in 3 main clusters: 24 body types, 2-sliced elifi, 4-sliced edhemi and 12-sliced huseyni. The titles are as high as 72.5%. The rate of expression patterns such as hu, hu dost (friend), ya hu is 40.1%, but these patterns are also seen in other sects such as the Mawlawī.
MAPPING THE WILD FRONTIERS OF OTTOMANS

For centuries, scientists have been convinced of the ex- pressive power of the map, which can speak beyond the barrier of the ordinary language. The significance of the map, especi- ally in the past, stems from the fact that people were making them to tell other people about the places and places they ex- perienced. The maps presented in this book are very impor- tant for studying the general and cultural history of the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the early modern period as well as the surrounding regions. The significance of their ana- lysis and publishing is even greater because the cartographic representations of the early Bosnian-Ottoman production area of Ottoman production are extremely rare and less familiar to the academic and professional public. Based on certain charac- teristics it can be assumed that maps represented in this book were created during the 18th century. Some of them are work of professionally engaged and educated Ottoman officials, while for others we assume that they are works of amateurs, most likely domestic people. The professional maps that emer- ged during the negotiations on the Ottoman-Russian demarca- tion processses in the Northern Steppes forming the nowadays Ukraine are a testament to the intense work, collaboration and commitment of the Ottoman and Russian members of the de- marcation commission. This is confirmed not only by the notes on the mentioned maps, but also by numerous other Ottoman documents from same period. At the same time, on the basis of a more detailed analysis, it can be concluded that the members of the demarcation commissions were educated and compe- tent to carry out the mentioned process, and that they spent a long time on the field, establishing a borderline on the spot. As for the amateur maps presented in this book, we also consider that they represent a significant historical source and valuable contribution of local inhabitants to the cartography of Ukraine during the Ottoman period. The Ottoman maps of Southeast Europe, where the territory of Ottoman Provinces is shown, on the other hand, are examples of the maps created by the compi- lation, based on the insights into the early modern maps of Eu- rope without a direct insight into the situation on the ground. Apart from the lines of demarcation and other textual parts on the maps, which place these maps among the primary histori- cal sources for studying the proces .

INTRODUCTION There are two albums in the Austrian National Library which have probably the same background. (Cod. Vindobonensis 8615 and 8626). An ambassadorial report in pictures of the Ottoman Empire and its inhabitants. The 8615 will be published as volume 4 and this the third volume contains nr. 8626. The idea of an illustrated album with images of exotic figures and genre scenes was quite common during the late sixteenth century, when European ambassadors, merchants, and other travelers made it customary to leave an illustrated record of their encounters Ottoman Empire. Along with written testimonies, the illustrations served as visual records of life in the Empire through the centuries. The Ottoman world aroused a great deal of artistic interest, and there was an increasing demand for pictorial records of the life of the Ottomans, hence commissions from the members of the elite societies in Europe. Important dignitaries and noblemen often commissioned such mementos, either as curiosities to be kept in their libraries or cabinets or as souvenirs, which documented their journeys to foreign or exotic places. Particular interest in such risky journeys was predetermined by the lack of knowledge about other peoples’ cultures and traditions. The obstacle of cultural misunderstanding inherent in depicting other people was overcome by the variety of their representation, expressing the individual travellers’ personal visions, documenting their experiences of extraordinary meetings. Furthermore, one of the most popular destinations was, of course, the world of the Ottomans. Though travel albums were very popular in Europe during the sixteenth century, most of the illustrations were copied after famous sources - travel records, diaries, so on and so forth. Known as one of the earliest records of an eyewitness account of travels in the Ottoman Empire, Vienna Albums are especially significant given its commissioner’s high status. Like many popular travel albums, Vienna album illustrates the customs and the traditions of those inhabitants of the cities that the ambassador encountered and visited during his travels in the Ottoman Empire in 1588-89, capturing and portraying the Ottoman society and culture, safeguarding and assuring the remembrance of that world.

Although the Crimean peninsula is very important for Ottoman and Islamic history, it is not the subject of this book. The material found there is so great that another book can be made out of this one. Crimea has been the subject of some monographs and inventory studies in Turkey in recent years. Romania and Bulgaria, located in the West of the Black Sea, are not included here as they will be the subject of another book. Bender Castle, located on the territory of Moldova, is included in this book because it is a part of the Ottoman Bucak province. This book is dedicated to the Honorable People of Ukraine, who resisted the brutal invasion and occupation of Ukraine in 2022, and its dıgıtal copy was made free available on this occasion in February 2022.

Het boek is samengesteld door Hans Krol en Mehmet Tütüncü. Het gaat over de geschiedenis van een verloren schilderij. Adriaan Pauw (1585-1653) was raadspensionaris en is belangrijk geweest voor Heemstede. In 1620 kocht hij de heerlijkheid Heemstede en mocht zich daarna Heer van Heemstede noemen
Upon his arrival in Istanbul in 1612 Cornelis Haga, the first appointed ambassador of the Netherlands to the Ottoman Empire, received a warm welcome. The treaty which was signed in the same year set out the trade and diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Seven Provinces of the Netherlands. In those years, while the Netherlands were striving for independence from the Spanish Empire of the Habsburgs known as the 80 Years’ War, they gained the support of the Ottoman Empire and thus the foundation of strong relations was laid, which lasted for centuries. Cornelis Haga, who settled in Istanbul, corresponded with the Netherlands and constantly informed his country about the Ottoman Empire. Dutch government officials who were curious about the appearance of the city requested a great panorama painting of Istanbul. Haga sent a huge painting to the Netherlands which was painted by a well-known artist. A letter which was written by Haga was sent on 1st of October 1616. with the painting. He wrote “ With the ship called White Arend which goes to Amsterdam, I am sending you the completely accurate paint of Istanbul which is painted under my patronage. When the painting arrived, it was to be delivered by my brother Johan Haga.” We do not have information about the painting and its dimensions. The only thing that we know is that the painting was hanging on the wall of the Constantinople room of the Castle Hemstede. It was built in 1620 by Adrian Pauw, the general secretary of the Dutch National Council (Raadpensionaris) in the village of Heemstede, which is located 50 km from the capital city of the Hague, the administrative centre of the Netherlands. Some of the writings on the rooms of this castle, which was destroyed due to neglect in 1810, were kept in the archives. It is stated that the painting was sent by Cornelis Haga. A copy of this very curious painting, which has not survived, can be found in the Swedish National Library today. In this book you will find the story of the making, disappearance of this painting and a comparative analysis of Istanbul paintings.

BOZ 183), is an important addition to our knowledge about Ottoman Illustrated World Histories. It consists of thirty-five folios, each measuring 24 x 35,5 cm. This work comprises names and biographies of more than 650 illustrious persons and their genealogical connections with each other from the time of Adam to 1700 CE. What makes it important is that 205 of them are illustrated with portraits. The illustrations are presented chronologically and are, to a certain extent, interrelated. It thus presents an ideal source to learn about the affinities and the genealogy of the reigning dynasties and prophets. Because of all the afore-mentioned qualities, we named this work, which does not bear any title, the Genealogy of Warsaw (Silsile-nâme-î Varşova).
In the portrait section of the work, the names of the people portrayed are sometimes written below the Arabic inscription in pencil in French and in English. These are additions to notices written in different hands of the respective owners of the manuscript (Newton, Barnard, Jaubert etc.). In the Genealogy, some lineages can be followed carefully along lines. These are the Israelites, the Turks, the Prophet Mohammed followed by the Caliphs

Matteo Pe... more Introduction Painting the enemy with Love and admiration: D’Aleccios frescoes and Turks Matteo Perez D’Aleccio’s frescoes, painting and copper gravures are the most important visual witnesses of the Great Siege of 1565. They are very much studied but always for the point of view of Maltese Order and its patrons. In Turkey they have never been an object of study or attention. They deserve surely to be studied also from the point of opponents that are depicted. Most striking of the frescoes is that they depict the war almost from the eyes or focus from Turks and Turkish soldiers. The frescoes with the numbers 2,3,4,5,7,8 and 12 are painted from the eyes of Turkish soldiers. The other (1 and 10) frescoes are eye birds eye view or are about the foreign help that is arriving 6 and 11. Only in one fresco (9) both camps are given same weight. What’s is further striking is that “the enemy” is painted without any demonization. They are humans “Kahraman Düşman” Brave enemy They are humans who are suffering hard and which whom the observer should have mercy. Turkish soldiers are described very honestly and with great detail and love and even one can say with admiration. If we consider this aspects the frescoes could have been ordered by the Turkish Sultan, and Matteo could have done the same work. In this book the questions are asked and answered? How and why in a time of great enmities this work of art could be completed?. And why the Order have allowed Aleccio to have paid greater attention to the Turkish camp than to the Maltese? Were this frescoes painted with an objective of reconciliation and recognition of Turkish sufferings?. Questions that should have our attention when we study the frescoes and its creator.

The aim of this expedition is to bring Yemen under Ottoman control again. On the 23 March 1849 the expeditionary corps, marched out of Jeddah. Mustafa Hami describes in almost 80 pages the route of the Ottoman expeditionary corps. He furnishes exact records of time and place, expressed partly in hours of march. His report ends with the re-entry of the force into Hudaydah after their abortive installation in San’ā’ in the middle of September 1849. The first part of his report on the Yemen is devoted in the first place to military matters. The second part with over 27 pages of closely written text contains geographical data. He describes minutely the fortifications of the towns with the layout and names of their towers and gates. We learn of mosques and shrines, and agrarian products and taxation revenues are tabulated. ‘Ethnographic’ information fill out the descriptions of places. Mustafā Hāmī as a trained medical man practising in the Yemen, also concerns himself with various illnesses. The manuscript ends with 27 pages of colour illustrations that were drawn by Mustafa Hami. The Illustrations contains two maps with Red Sea and Harbour of Kamran followed Yemen’s important cities, fortifications, holy shrines, but also plants, and other peculiarities, like weapons. The Manuscript in facsimile is transliterated into Latin script and translated into modern Turkish. Introduction and extensive notes both in English and in Turkish makes this book an excellent tool to learn the history, geography and human landscape of mid-19th century Yemen.

Они прошли лечение, но не выжили. Грохольский установил памятник в их честь в 1881 году с целью увековечить память о турецких воинах-мусульманах. Мы думаем, что Грохольский был впечатлен героизмом солдат. Наши воины, погибшие после того, как были доставлены в Стрижавку, здесь же и были погребены… Со временем кладбище было разрушено, на его месте был создан парк и детский сад. Но надгробие сохранилось во дворе одного дома».

... more Shabbetai Sevi new sources from Netherland (Oprechte Haarlemsche Courant About Shabetai Sevi)
The movement of Shabbetai Sevi had great impact on the Jews in Europe. Many European Jews considered him as the savior who was waited long. His becoming of Turk was also very disappointing. The Dutch press in 17th Century was following the Shabbetai Sevi very narrowly. The book by Thomas Coonan who was Minister of Dutch Consulate in Izmir in 1669 with the title of Yodeled Verwachtinge der Joden is famous for its report from the Shabetai Sevi and its impact on the Jews in Turkey. However, this not only Shabetai’s journeys and actions were followed and reported in the Dutch press on a very frequent and actual frequency. Fortunately, one of the earliest Dutch newspaper Opregte Haarlemsche Courants copies has been preserved. The newspaper was established in 1656 and was published 2 times a week. The columns of the Newspaper from the years 1665 and 1666 contains frequently material and reports about Shabbatei Sevi and his movement. Correspondents wrote these reports from Symrna, Livorno, Amsterdam, London, Aleppo, Italy, France. When we study this material, one can obtain a real and contemporary view of the Shabbetai Sevi and its movement and its impact on the Jewry of Europe. This material of Haarlemsche Courant is a great and contemporary source, which has not been studied and published. In this contribution, I would like present this source to the conference, and make some preliminary remarks about the publication of this important source.

The ethnographic art works of nations of the world are exhibited. A small section here is devoted to the Islamic world. When I visited this museum on August 5in 2002, a stone inscription in the showcase caught my attention. I tried to read the inscription by comparing it with the information on the panel. Although some of the information on the panel was wrong, it was important tbecaus it giveth information about the provennce of the inscription. The Text of this information (in both German and English in the footnote below1). It is stated that the inscription was written in Bosnian Arabic script. However, the language of the inscription is not Bosnian, there is no such typeface of writing thts called as Bosnian Arabic script / Is it that difficult to say that the inscription was written in Ottoman Turkish and Arabic letters? In addition, it is stated that the Zvornik castle was destroyed by the Austrians during the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and the inscription was brought to Vienna
Abstract

They are well-known because they are associated with the splendid Ottoman tiles of the 15th and 16th centuries but the identity of these ceramists remains mysterious in many respects. Their denomination is itself a problem, it comes from the signature Ustādān-i Tabrīz inscribed in the Yeşil Cami of Bursa (1424). Therefore, generally, it refers only to the craftsmen who produced this masterpiece. However, this same name covers in fact four groups of ceramists who worked mainly in Bursa, Edirne, Istanbul and Jerusalem for almost a century and a half. We could of course think they are from Tabriz, but this designation is misleading because they are not all from this Iranian city. It is not only their geographical origin that is controversial, but also several aspects of their history. Indeed, certain architectural tiles which they have not signed give rise to problems of attribution and consequently lead to further questions concerning their artistic route through the Ottoman lands and neighbouring regions. Even the few monumental signatures are subject to discussion because they do not necessarily designate ceramists, thus making the reconstitution of these different groups more difficult. The “Masters of Tabriz” did not leave a biography and this is the reason why a large number of hypotheses have been formulated since the beginning of the 20th century. This study proposes a critical approach to all methods of identification in order to distinguish between reliable and uncertain theories. The aim is to put an end to misconceptions as their puzzling history gives rise to imaginary stories.
This study was presented at the 16th International Congress of Turkish Arts held in Ankara in 2019, but was not published because the congress editorial board required an original topic. Indeed, I already had the opportunity to write about the “Masters of Tabriz” in Eurasian Studies in 2017, however the approach is different. The previous article mainly focused on rereading ancient texts and monumental inscriptions as some of them were subject to extrapolations and hasty deductions which necessarily falsified the identification of these ceramists. As for this present paper, it exposes and shows the limits of all identification methods (monumental signatures, names of artists in the archives, nisba, comparative study of ceramics, ancient texts, monumental inscriptions) which can indeed be interpreted in different ways and generates false notions.
Cultural and linguistic interaction between Turkic and Western languages, contrary to popular bel... more Cultural and linguistic interaction between Turkic and Western languages, contrary to popular belief, started not in the period after Christ, but much earlier in the Scythian period. It is possible to find concrete examples of linguistic interaction in many words used in daily life. The exchange of words between Turkic and Indo-European languages is also reflected in terms related to dressing, and it is possible to find many common in both language families. In this article, it will be shown that a Scythian word related to clothing, mentioned in the most extraordinary and comprehensive Greek dictionary, which was prepared by the Greek writer Hesychus in the Middle Age, today lives only in Turkic dialects. In addition to this, Another Scythian word will be explained in the light of Turkic vocabulary

Although one and only one inscription was based upon as a very weak and insufficient basis, this vacuum was first wanted to be filled with Sogdian, regarding the Sogdian part of the (bilingual) Bugut inscription, one of the inscriptions Bugut and Khüis Tolgoi which are supposed to be the only inscriptions remained from the First Turkic Khaganate. However, together with that the part in Brāhmī script of the Bugut inscription, and the Khüis Tolgoi inscription again in Brāhmī script, which were not able to be read afore, have recently been read being interpreted as a kind of early Mongolic or para-Mongolic, a second official language has been claimed for the First Turkic Khaganate besides Sogdian: “written imperial Mongolic”, the state language of the Ruan-Ruan Empire. But the “new reality” we have exposed in this article is that First Turkic Khaganate left inscriptions in Turkic, that is to say, “the stage is not empty at all”. So, there is not any vacuum about what the official language of the First Turkic Khaganate was. Turkic runic script was in use even in the establishment of the First Turkic Khaganate (552) and on the basis of the existing documents in Turkic in runic script remained from that period, the official/written language of the First Turkic Khaganate was indisputably (“written imperial”) Turkic. Key Words: Tsetsüüh Roof Tile Inscription (552 AD), Kara Katu Inscription (593 AD), the official language of the First Turkic Khaganate.
Summary

Ali Othman, an archeologist and heritage curator in University of Paris who carried out archeological studies in Sura until 2011 when he had to leave the region, and was following afar in sorrow that pillage and destruction from the photographs to whom his local contacts submitted via mobile phone, noticed in the photographs in 2015 a new inscription on a piece of column uncovered by chance in one of the excavation pits. As a result of an intensive epigraphical research conducted after that date it has been understood that this inscription, a sample of which has not been encountered previously in the region, is connected to the historical runic writing system of the Turkic-speaking peoples of Southern Siberia. However, the inscription had not yet been read until our work. In this article we present our reading proposal for Sura runic inscription and report our views and evaluations on the context and dating of the inscription. The conclusion we reached is that the inscription had been left by Huns after a Hun commander who had died probably in the battles, during their occupation lasting approximately two years, including all of Syria, Mesopotamia and Eastern Anatolia along with a part of Central Anatolia, in the raids which the eastern wing of European Huns organized through the Caucasus between the years 395-396. Therefore, we think the inscription is dated between the years 395-396. By this aspect of it this one-line inscription has also the feature of being the first real Western Hun Turkic and in addition, Proto-Turkic (?) (1st - 6th centuries AD) text. Key words: Sura runic inscription, Southern Siberia - Yenisei region Turkic runic script, European Huns, Hun commander Kursik (? < Kurčik), Western Hun Turkic.
Recent research on the history of confessional communities in the Ottoman Empire approaches the O... more Recent research on the history of confessional communities in the Ottoman Empire approaches the Orthodox church as not just an entity in and of itself with a long history prior to its capture by the Turks, but also as an Ottoman institution, recognized and regulated by the Porte as well as one privileged and with its own agency. This opens new perspectives for a more comprehensive understanding of the specific position and role of the Orthodox clergy in Ottoman society during the early modern period. Further studies of the role of the high clergy in Ottoman politics and social order should consider also the important evidence provided by bilingual Greek-Ottoman Turkish seals of some church hierarchs. The need to have legends in two languages on personal or church seals was dictated by the perpetual interaction of Orthodox clerics and church hierarchs with representatives of Ottoman administrative institutions. In such interactions both parties, while “governing” their flock or their subjects, had to be able to understand correctly each other’s official confirmations on various documents, and the imprints of bilingual clerical seals provided a means for that. We have not been able to locate any bilingual seal matrices used by Orthodox hierarchs serving in the Ottoman Empire. The seemingly total loss of such seal matrices notwithstanding, their existence is well attested by the imprints found on extant documents.
The present article discusses imprints of one such lost ecclesiastical bilingual seal, its owner, the documents stamped with it, and the documents’ significance for the mid-18th century.

Mehmet Tütüncü, the head of the Turk-Arab World Research Center, found eight Arabic inscriptions under rubble and plants at Knidos and determined that they date from the year 715 A.D. The inscriptions reveal that an advance force of a Moslem military expedition that would undertake the second effort to seize Istanbul from the Byzantines in 717, had taken Knidos. Tütüncü explained that “I think that Knidos was seized in order to provide a resting/staging point for the Moslem forces coming from the Middle East and North Africa to take Istanbul. The Byzantines then living in Knidos were overcome and their church was turned into a mosque. Moslems killed in Turkish battle for Knidos were buried in a cemetery there. After the failure of the Istanbul siege, the Moslems abandoned Knidos in 717. We think the returning Byzantines destroyed the mosque and the cemetery. There are probably more documents and gravestones belonging to Moslems yet to be found at Knidos.” Additionally, Tütüncü stated that “I encountered Arabic texts on the stone pavement of the Byzantine church called ‘Doric Stoa’ at Knidos. The first Moslem naval commander was Muaviye, the Omayyad ruler at the time of the first attempted Moslem siege of Istanbul in 668 A.D., which ended with the death of Eyyup el Ensari. Today, at Knidos in Datça there is a sundial, a Temple of Apollo, the Corinth Temple and a theater dating from ancient times. When an excavation headed by İris Love dug here in 1969 the Islamic material was not dealt with, so Turkish archeologists will have to do the job.

IN THIS ISSUE OF IJOT The 6th edition of the International Journal of Turkology is dedicated to an unknown and forgotten city on the Ottoman borderland. The city of Ismail – or in Ukrainian Izmail – on the northern Kilia branch of Danube River, some 70 kilometers away from the Black sea, is now a sleeping city with no crossing, no bridge and not customs authority, even though its located a few hundred meters away from the border to Romania, which is on the other side of the Danube. Ismail was once a thrilling city, with a multi-ethnic community. The city was established in 1589 by an Ottoman Black Eunuch, Chief of Sultans harem, Abyssinian Mehmed Agha, who dedicated the incomes form the city to the Holy cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem. Ismail was important because it was located on a famous crossing point of Danube. Before the Ottomans, it was yearly visited and looted by brigands. The Ottoman Sultan Murad III decided to establish a fortress and a city, and the order was given to Habeshi Mehmed Agha, who with great efforts mobilized a whole set of Ottoman government bodies to found the city within a few years. In that year, all the infrastructure for a prosperous city was implemented. A fortress, a Khan, a Mosque, a customs authority, a shipyard, etc. were established. Ismail became a prosperous city for the coming 200 years. Located at a crossing point, the city was attacked by Russian troops in the 17th and 18th century Ottoman- Russian wars. In 1790, under the famous attack by general Suvorov, the city was burned and the civil population was excarnated by Russian Troops. The city never recovered from this attack, and in 1856 – with the treaty of Paris – the fortress was demolished, and the Ottoman local Muslim population left. The Russians established a new city near the old city. This new local population never showed any interest in the old city, and so the city fell into amnesia. In 2019, the editors of this volume Mehmet Tütüncü and Andrey Krasnozhon has published a book (see back cover of this journal for further information) that clarifies and discloses the documentation on the city’s 200 years existence from 1590 until 1790. The book, published in the Ukraine and Turkish language, was received very well. The articles in this Journal is a follow up on our monography on Ismail. In this volume, we have included some new research about Ismail. The first article is from Andrey Krasnozhon, who gives an introduction into Ismail’s short but interesting city life, from its establishment to its destruction. The second article by Mehmet Emin Yılmaz is about the only remnant of Ottoman Ismail. It is the Habeshi Mehmed Agha Mosque which is very beautiful and picturesque and the oldest of the region. This mosque, with its cupola, is a gem of Ottoman architecture. For a long time it was used as a church, and nowadays it is used as a DIORAMA panorama museum of attack of Ismail. Mehmet Emin Yilmaz an architect from Ankara with years-long experience, has done an attempt to research the original mosque and its features. The third article is about the Danube and its ships. During our research, we found a map in Russian archives which also enclosed a map of the city, which is published in our monography last year. But this map has also very interesting drawings of boats, ships, and carriers in the Danube river. Dr. Okay Sütcüoğlu from Antalya University has made a meticulous study of these boats and their origins. The fourth article is by dr. Berat Açıl from Istanbul’s Şehir University. He has studied a part of the waqfıyye of Habeshi Mehmet Agha, which also was published in our book. This waqfiye enumerates books possessed by Habeshi Mehmed Agha. This article gives insight into the life and the library and intellectual interests of an Ottoman statesman. The last article is by Hulya Yarar Cakiroglu who has discovered and translated Ottoman documents which gives information about the attack on Ismail of 1790. There is much literature about this attack from the Russian side, but information from Ottoman the side is very rare. We hope to have prepared an interesting periodical. We have enough material fora second Ismail issue which is planned in October this year. IJOT is open for all participants who are welcome to submit articles for our next issues. It could be on all fields of Turkology and adjacent (Turkish Islamic material culture in the broadest sense). The articles could be in Turkish, English, French, Russian,or Arabic. Our IJOT is until now completely free, but all readers and supporters are most welcome to donate any amount.

Frederik Van Dedem leaves with a group of nine people from the Constantinople for the Netherlands. He was Dutch ambassador for eight years in the capital of the mighty Ottoman Empire. The overland journey takes months and is arduous. The carriages are uncomfortable, the horses too weak. Many dangers lurk: driving rain, bad roads, difficult mountain passes, robbers, vermin, accidents and even the plague. They cross the Balkans, Austria and Germany to finally end at Wijhe (in Overijssel).
Gaspard Testa, only 23 years old at the time, interpreter and secretary of the embassy in Constantinople, travels with him and records the events daily in a diary. He writes in French with beautiful calligraphy and tells about the route, the distances, the landscapes, the people, the food and the events along the way. We get an impression of the Ottoman countryside. We pass through areas battered by the French Revolution in Austria and Germany. We visit Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, Regensburg, Frankfurt and Cologne. The young Gaspard widens his eyes. And we watch with him. The texts, which are more than two hundred years old, force themselves on us like an exciting film.
The original travel diaries are in the National Archives in The Hague and are being published here for the first time in Dutch. The legible text is provided with beautiful old illustrations, maps and explanations and recent photos that were made especially for this publication.

Ottoman Documents to produce a carpet from Hereke to the Peace Palace in the Hague. Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ7ekQkV8CY director Mehmet Tutuncu The Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, is the worldwide symbol of peace through jus- tice. It opened its doors in 1913 and has served the ideal of “Peace through Law” ever since. Today, it houses the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the United Nations International Court of Justice, The Hague Academy of International Law and the Peace Palace Library. The Peace Palace in The Hague houses what is probably the largest Hereke carpet outside Türkiye. For more than 112 years the carpet has been part of the inventory of the Palace. in 1899 and 1907 there were 2 great multinational Peace Conferences in Tha Hague. In 1907 it was decided to build a peace palace where the International Court of Justice should be housed. In 1907, when the first stone of the Peace Palace was laid, countries were asked to contribute to the construction of the Palace. Over 40 countries responded to this call, donating works of art such as paintings and vases, or building materials such as wood and marble. In this way the Peace Palace is not only a place for the world, but also from the world. The Ottoman Empire donated a large Hereke carpet (160m2) with a floral decor on red ground. Hereke carpets of such superior quality were specially commissioned for palaces in the Ottoman Empire by the Ottoman Sultan, Abdülhamid II. Characteristic of the Hereke carpet is its great durability and quality, partly due to the use of the Gordes knotting techni- que, the double knot. In addition, Hereke carpets are recognizable by the beautiful traditional Anatolian patterns and floral motifs that are passed on from generation to generation.

This contribution is about this letter. The letter is from Johan Enschedé addressed to the Dutch ambassador in Istanbul (then Constantinople). The letter speaks about sending a mysterious book printed in 1752 by Johan Enschedé. Not a copy of this book has been found. That the book was printed we read, besides the letter from Joh. Enschedé, also in an advertisement in the Opregte Haar- lemsche Courant of June 10, 1752. Furthermore, in his letter Enschedé asks the ambassador to help obtain Asian news for the Opregte Haarlemsche Courant. And finally, six proofs of Arabic-Ottoman letters from the letter foundry are sent to bring to the attention of the Turkish state press, so that they will take the letters from Enschedé. In this article, I will explain the background of this letter and the characters it contains and reflect on the connections of three Haarlem notable figures: a printer, an ambassador and a preacher who were employed in Istanbul .

In the november 2020 (nr. 10) of this Journal I have (hereafter MT) published an article (10 pages) with long appendices (60 pages).
It was about a obvious attempt of plagiarism of an earlier article that was published by current author in 2015. My original article of me from 2015 can be consulted from here: https://www.academia.edu/37204629/
The article that plagiarized my work was published in 2020 in the respectable journal Muqarnas with chief editor Prof. Guru Necipoglu (hereafter GN).
I have written short after thıs last article discontent. This last article which was I tried to show the similarities between both first works and accusing (DB) about plagiarism can be consulted and read from next link. https://www.academia.edu/44380943/
It’s now nearly 4 years later and after the publication of this last article I have corresponded with the chief editor (GN) and editorial board of Muqarnas. I think for the further debate how such a behaviour is awarded and regarded, its important that this correspondence should be made public. I am therefore here disclosing my correspondence. also with the argument to contribute to this difficult academic discussion.

One of the less explored fields of the Ottoman Balkan Studies is the Ottoman Inscriptions. There is no corpus of these important witnesses of history, which can tell some hidden stories of building activities in the Balkans. I am some years involved with producing a corpus of Ottoman Inscriptions in the Balkans. Such a corpus can contribute to the history of Ottoman and Turkish language in the Balkans. In collecting this corpus, I am friendly AND voluntarily assisted (helped) by many Romanian colleagues , who send me new discovered inscriptions, or Inscriptions that are in the collections of museums and which are not published. In this article I would like publish some inscriptions from Tulcea Museum which have been photographed and send me by Aurel Daniel-Stanica. These are mostly funerary inscriptions. Next inscriptions with their content make subject of this contribution. they are read as far as its possible, translated into English and additional remarks and comments to enlighten the content are added.

Gerard Vissering and His Journey
On June 4, 1928, an unassuming older Dutchman, balding with round glasses and a gray mustache, arrived in Istanbul by boat from Venice, accompanied by his young wife and his assistant. Despite the early hour (around 4 a.m.), he was greeted by four distinguished gentlemen, all directors of the Turkish Business Bank (Türkiye İş Bankası). He wrote in his diary: “The reception was extremely friendly. They helped us get through passport control and customs. We drove to the Pera Palace Hotel, where we were given very good corner apartments on the second floor: living room, bedroom, bathroom. Everything old but still very good.”
In 1923, Turkey had risen as a republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, and the newly founded republic needed funds for the reconstruction of the country and to repay the debts of the old regime. Turkey wanted to establish its own national central bank, but how could it do so without foreign reserves?
The director of the newly founded Türkiye İş Bankası (Business Bank), later President Celal (Bayar) Bey, wanted to convert his bank into a Central Bank. He knew Vissering as someone highly respected in the financial world.
Vissering traveled through Turkey for four weeks, from Istanbul to Ankara. He met with the leaders of the new Turkey, as well as diplomats, journalists, and bankers. He recorded his observations in a diary that remained hidden for 100 years. The diary provides insight into the young republic and how a group of idealistic young men founded a state intended to put an end to the centuries-long lag of the Turks compared to the West.
Vissering's diary is published here in its entirety, with the Dutch text, Turkish translation, and other documents from the Nederlandsche Bank.
Abstract
Izmael and its vicinity came under the rule of Ottoman’s in the reign of Bayezid II. Izmael came into the scene of history as a small village and given as a gift (mulk) to the Agha of Darussade Mehmed in the year of 1589. Mehmed Agha shortly before his death transformed Izmael into a pious foundation. With this status special privileges granted, and a new city was born. The city lived serious economic growth and became one of the important Ottoman settlements in the Eastern Europe where Muslims, Christians and Jews resided. In the 18th century 3000 jizya tax-paying
non-muslim were ling in the Izmael. Mulim populatin composed of Lazes, Chytaks, Turkomans and Tatars. In the countryside of Izmael density of Tatar population attracted attention from the beginning. In paralel with the migration of Tatars from the beginning of 16th century agricultural production substantially increased both in Izmael and Budjak. As natural consequence of this Izmael played important role in the subsistence of İstanbul as a port and production site. Apart from agriculture, animal husbandry, candle manufacturing, fishing and slave trade played important role in the economic life of the city. Because of its vakf status Izmael has differentiated from the other Ottoman districts. While the city is governed by a trustee’s assigned by the Darüssade Aghas with the kadi the Tatar population that lived in the countryside were governed by the representatives of the Crimean Khan called yalı agası or the serasker of Budjak. Main problems encountered in the social of Izmael were credit and debt problems, inheritance, wardship, murder, robbery and the oppressions of corrupted administers. The article is important addition to our book published in Odessa 2020 about Ottoman and other documnents, Tütüncü Mehmed and Andrew Krasnozhon,

ABSTRACT
This study aims to open up some problematic issues about the representation and visibility of art in the media
through an auction. Through the phenomenon that is the subject of the study, the way in which the auction and
sales process of a rare depiction is handled in the media, how the media is used as a marketing tool for the artwork,
and a critical interpretation of the overlooked and missed elements in the whole process will be tried to be put
forward. The year 2021 was officially declared the "Year of Haji Bektash Veli" by UNESCO. A miniature work, recorded
in 2021 as the first painting depicting Hacı Bektaş, was recently sold at an auction in the Netherlands (June 8,
2021). The miniature, made by Üsküdarlı Ahmet in 1651, depicts Haji Bektash and his student Sarı Saltuk riding
on a dragon. The story, which is the subject of the description, requires a series of analyzes whose meaning can be
found in mythology and folk legends.
Since the research covers a current issue with artistic foundations, the referenced sources vary, boundaries can be
unclear. For this reason, document analysis, one of the data collection techniques, which is a qualitative research
method, was used to collect data in the research. In addition, since the work that is the subject of the study is a
miniature work, the visual work has been tried to be analyzed in terms of semiotics.
The process of transforming works of art into commercial commodities through auctions is not a new development.
As a natural consequence of the phenomenon of globalization, art has been turned into a valuable financial
instrument today. What is new here is the current role the media plays in the marketing of art in all its forms. The
artwork and the auction process, which are the subject of our review, give clues to all these new relationships. In
the research, besides analyzing the visual spaces of the first painting depicting Haji Bektash; how the work is
presented to the art market will be examined in the context of the culture industry (critical theory). The relationship
of a work produced within the tradition of a belief institution (Bektashism) with the art market and consumption
culture, the promotion and sales strategies carried out during the auction process will be discussed and examined.
Keywords: Art, Media, Auction, Miniature, Haji Bektash.
Summary
The article examines Ottoman inscriptions,
which are kept in the Regional History Museum - Vidin,
Bulgaria. The inscriptions are from buildings that
have not survived to this day. The inscriptions belong to
mosques, fountains and a sultan's tugrah.
Tombstones and Inscriptions contain historical and archaeological
authentic and very important data. The information they hold for the
past is sometimes very ımportant. In addition, they shed light on the
personalities and events unknown to archives and written sources.
There were no material assets other than a few historical records
regarding the tangible existence of the Turkmens who were settled
in the Palestinian territory during the Seljuks and Mamluks. But there
are some tombstones and a few inscriptions. These inscriptions in
Gaza and Jerusalem give us information about the Turkmen tribes
coming from the Euphrates basin and their leading leaders and
tamgas.
In this paper, the texts and pictures of these tombstones and
inscriptions will be presented in the symposium and the analysis and
comments about the Turkmens settled in Palestine will be included.

Bir Osmanlı Vatandaşının 1793 yılında Avrupa’ya Seyahat Günlüğü
Travel Diary of an Ottoman Citizen to Europe in 1793
1793'de İstanbul'da Hollanda büyükelçisi tercümanı Osmanlı VatandAşlı Gaspard Testa Hollandaya bir seyahate çıkar. Seyahatte 9 kişi vardır.
Hollanda büyükelçisi Frederık Van Dedem , eşi, oğlu, tercümanı, kocası Anabaptist bir dul olan Marıa Wıjnands, Hiyeroglifleri ilk kez çözen bilim adamı,
bir Tüccar, bir profesör ve başka bir bilinmeyen kişi bir posta arabasıyla 3 ay boyunca İstanbul2dan Hollanda'ya birlikte seyahat ederler.
Frederik Van Dedem dokuz kişilik bu grupla birlikte kozmopolit bir şehir olan Konstantinopolis'ten Hollanda'ya doğru yola çıkar. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nun başkentinde sekiz yıllık Hollanda büyükelçisiydi. 3 ay süren kara yolculuğu oldukça zahmetlidir. At arabaları komforlu değil, atlar zayıf, pek çok tehlike pusuda bekliyor: şiddetli yağmur, kötü yollar, zorlu dağ geçitleri, soyguncular, haşarat, kazalar ve hatta veba onların yıolunde engel tekil ediyor. Hollandadaki küçük bir köy olan Wijhe'de çıktıkları yolda Balkanlar, Avusturya ve Almanya'yı geçerler.
O zamanlar sadece 23 yaşında olan Gaspard Testa, Şstanbul’daki büyükelçiliğin tercümanı ve sekreteridşr. Van Dedemin isteği üzerine bir günlük tutar. Güzel harflerle Fransızca yazılan günlükte ve yol boyunca rotayı, mesafeleri, manzaraları, nüfusu, yiyecekleri ve olayları anlatıyor. Osmanlı balkanları ve kırsalı izlenimlerini. Avusturya ve Almanya'daki Fransız Devriminın hırpalanmış bölgelerden geçer. Belgrad, Budapeşte, Viyana, Regensburg, Frankfurt ve Köln'ü ziyaret eder. Genç Gaspard Osmanlı gözlüğüyle Avrupa’yı temaşa eder. Grubumuz, Avusturya'nın (Kutsal Roma İmparatorluğu) Başkenti Viyana'da 17 gün kalır.
Viyana gezi rehberi
Gaspard ve büyükelçinin liderliğindeki grup, Viyana'da on yedi gün geçirir. Gaspard, akrabalarını ziyaret etme ve aynı zamanda Viyana'daki tüm turistik yerleri görme fırsatını kullanır. Belvedere, Schönbrun ve Lihtenştayn gibi tüm büyük sarayları, ayrıca Mıllı Kütüphaneyi, tiyatroları ve anıtları (Veba sütunu, Maria sütunu gibi), parklar ve kiliselerı ziyaret eder. Açıklamaları çok doğru, özel ve ayrıntılıdır. Modern bir gezgin için daha az dikkat çeken, Viyana'daki Askeri Hastane ve Doğu Akademisi gibi kurumları inceler. Ayrıca Viyana'daki bir porselen fabrikası gibi fabrikaları gezer. Viyana gezi rehberi niteliğindedir ve ilk gezi rehberlerinden biri olarak kabul edilebilir.
Orijinal seyahat günlükleri Lahey'deki Ulusal Arşivlerındedir ve sayısız ayrıntı nedeniyle, on sekizinci yüzyılın sonunda bir Osmanlı vatandaşınıun gözüyle Avrupaya ve Türkiyeyeyi karşılaştırma imkanı sunmaktadır.

In July-September 2022, during an abnormal drop in the water level of the Danube, near
Izmail fortress at the bottom of the river, on a plot of 150-170×10-15 m at a depth of 1 to 1.5 m,
local historians accidentally discovered three clusters of artifacts: fragments of marble
tombstones, fragments of Ottoman ceramics, forged iron elements of rigging, as well as the
remains of the hull of a small wooden sailboat and other finds (intact and fragmented cast iron
cannonballs, bombs, and a flintlock pistol), which were more or less evenly scattered over the
entire designated area.
The purpose of the research paper is to publish and analyze the most interesting and unique
complex of artifacts found at the bottom of the river, namely intact and fragmented marble
tombstones, both with and without epitaphs.
Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, conducted by the expedition of the Institute of
Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, it has become possible to expand
significantly historical and archaeological knowledge about the history of the Izmail fortress
during the late Ottoman period of its existence, mainly in the 18th – early 19th century.
Conclusions. Thanks to a rare natural phenomenon and the attentiveness of local historians,
the collection of Ottoman tombstones from Izmail is augmented with 10 marble objects all at the
same time, on which there are four epitaphs. Although only one of them is dated 1749, which,
unfortunately, does not extend the chronology of the known epitaphs of 1719-1756, however, the
objects contain other, previously unknown historical information. On two slabs, former military
men of the Ottoman Porte are mentioned – the shahid and officer Ismail Aga and the nameless
janissary of the 12th Orta. From the inscription on the first of them, we learned about Ismail Aga’s
father – Emrullah Çelebi, who could have been a resident of Izmail and a teacher at a local
educational institution. We should also mention the slab with the names of God, which could have
been the amulet of the only preserved mosque in Izmail.
Keywords: Izmail, marble tombstones, Ottoman epitaphs, epigraphy, new artifacts
İn these year the Netherlands was stuck by a great disaster of waterflood. Great Parts of the country was flooded after a storm. Some tens of people were drowned but Netherlands was in Great need.

Büyük Tuna Zenciri Muamması 4-11
The Great Danube Chain Mystery
Büyük Tuna Zenciri Muamması
Mehmet Tütüncü
Abstract
The idea of closing the waterways with chaimn was a method used since the Middle Ages as a defensive measure in the military defense. It is known that for the first time in Turkish history, this came to the fore with the Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who changed the game of Byzantium, who closed the Golden Horn to ships with a chain and transported the ships by Land. Some parts of this chain are still kept in various museums in Turkey.
In addition to this, another big iron chain, which is surrounded by many mysteries on the Danube river and is exhibited in the military museum in Vienna today.
Since it did not fit in one piece in the two buildings the military museum in Vienna, where it is exhibited, and it was extended in 4 arms and laid on the ground, and it is a work of magnificent ironwork. This chain, which does not attract much attention, sheds light on an unknown aspect of Turkish history.
In the short examination we made in the museum, it was determined that the chains were made of wrought iron. In this respect, under suitable conditions, it does not undergo corrosion for many years. The patina layer formed as a result of the oxidation of iron forms a black protective layer between the iron and the atmosphere. In this article the reamsrkable history of the Grat Danube chain and its mysteries will be revealed.
In Turkey, some highly qualified assessments have been made about the tombstones in the graves of important
Bektashi lodges in the Balkans. The fact that there were differences in method among them and the examination
of the examples in a dervish lodge led to the inability to reach an inclusive conclusion. With this article, a general
evaluation has been made for the first time according to a single method based on all the examples in the publications
and theses. For the first time, general results based on the form such as the body, the headgear, the teslim stone and
the expressions related to Bektashism in the inscriptions have been tried to be put forward. Bektashism-Alevism
and Janissary quarry relations are so intertwined that they cannot be easily separated in any case. There are many
difficulties in separating Alevi and Janissary tombstones as well as for Bektashis. For this reason, we did not include
the Alevi and Janissary tombstones in the scope of the subject. We identified 488 specimens (432 heads, 56 feet)
that were shown as Bektashism with their inscriptions from the 48,870 tombstones that we entered in our data log,
and visual elements such as headgear and teslim stone. Although they are buried in Bektashi lodges - tombs, we
have excluded the tombstones without these elements. This data also gave the result that the tombstones in Bektashi
burials had the same characteristics as the general ones in Turkey. For example, all of those in Merdivenköy Kırklar
Graveyard and seventy percent of those in Rumelihisarı Lodge do not have Bektashi ties. On the other hand, 60
(49 heads, 11 feet) excluding Bektashi burials which are given at the and of list, which do not have a sect name and
have expressions that we find only on the tombstones of the Bektashis such as Ahl al-Bayt, Karbala, as well as the
Khalwatī, Mawlawī, Naqshibandī, Saʿdī, Sünbülī sect tombstones. Since our examples are from the years 1604 to
1945, our date limit was the 17th to 20th centuries. We have handled our examples in two main clusters, according
to the lodge order, as dervish and father dervish officers, and dervish lodge followers, consisting of soldiers, civil
servants, shopkeepers and their relatives, apart from the lodge. Apart from the 432 head stone fractures, 234 (54%)
were made for officials, 195 (45%) were made for the relatives, dependents and relatives of the officials. When we
consider Bektashism as certain, we have identified 18 title types in 3 main clusters: 24 body types, 2-sliced elifi,
4-sliced edhemi and 12-sliced huseyni. The titles are as high as 72.5%. The rate of expression patterns such as hu, hu
dost (friend), ya hu is 40.1%, but these patterns are also seen in other sects such as the Mawlawī.

Gerard Vissering and His Journey
On June 4, 1928, an unassuming older Dutchman, balding with round glasses and a gray mustache, arrived in Istanbul by boat from Venice, accompanied by his young wife and his assistant. Despite the early hour (around 4 a.m.), he was greeted by four distinguished gentlemen, all directors of the Turkish Business Bank (Türkiye İş Bankası). He wrote in his diary: “The reception was extremely friendly. They helped us get through passport control and customs. We drove to the Pera Palace Hotel, where we were given very good corner apartments on the second floor: living room, bedroom, bathroom. Everything old but still very good.”
In 1923, Turkey had risen as a republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, and the newly founded republic needed funds for the reconstruction of the country and to repay the debts of the old regime. Turkey wanted to establish its own national central bank, but how could it do so without foreign reserves?
The director of the newly founded Türkiye İş Bankası (Business Bank), later President Celal (Bayar) Bey, wanted to convert his bank into a Central Bank. He knew Vissering as someone highly respected in the financial world.
Vissering traveled through Turkey for four weeks, from Istanbul to Ankara. He met with the leaders of the new Turkey, as well as diplomats, journalists, and bankers. He recorded his observations in a diary that remained hidden for 100 years. The diary provides insight into the young republic and how a group of idealistic young men founded a state intended to put an end to the centuries-long lag of the Turks compared to the West.
Vissering's diary is published here in its entirety, with the Dutch text, Turkish translation, and other documents from the Nederlandsche Bank.
Abstract
Izmael and its vicinity came under the rule of Ottoman’s in the reign of Bayezid II. Izmael came into the scene of history as a small village and given as a gift (mulk) to the Agha of Darussade Mehmed in the year of 1589. Mehmed Agha shortly before his death transformed Izmael into a pious foundation. With this status special privileges granted, and a new city was born. The city lived serious economic growth and became one of the important Ottoman settlements in the Eastern Europe where Muslims, Christians and Jews resided. In the 18th century 3000 jizya tax-paying
non-muslim were ling in the Izmael. Mulim populatin composed of Lazes, Chytaks, Turkomans and Tatars. In the countryside of Izmael density of Tatar population attracted attention from the beginning. In paralel with the migration of Tatars from the beginning of 16th century agricultural production substantially increased both in Izmael and Budjak. As natural consequence of this Izmael played important role in the subsistence of İstanbul as a port and production site. Apart from agriculture, animal husbandry, candle manufacturing, fishing and slave trade played important role in the economic life of the city. Because of its vakf status Izmael has differentiated from the other Ottoman districts. While the city is governed by a trustee’s assigned by the Darüssade Aghas with the kadi the Tatar population that lived in the countryside were governed by the representatives of the Crimean Khan called yalı agası or the serasker of Budjak. Main problems encountered in the social of Izmael were credit and debt problems, inheritance, wardship, murder, robbery and the oppressions of corrupted administers. The article is important addition to our book published in Odessa 2020 about Ottoman and other documnents, Tütüncü Mehmed and Andrew Krasnozhon,

ABSTRACT
This study aims to open up some problematic issues about the representation and visibility of art in the media
through an auction. Through the phenomenon that is the subject of the study, the way in which the auction and
sales process of a rare depiction is handled in the media, how the media is used as a marketing tool for the artwork,
and a critical interpretation of the overlooked and missed elements in the whole process will be tried to be put
forward. The year 2021 was officially declared the "Year of Haji Bektash Veli" by UNESCO. A miniature work, recorded
in 2021 as the first painting depicting Hacı Bektaş, was recently sold at an auction in the Netherlands (June 8,
2021). The miniature, made by Üsküdarlı Ahmet in 1651, depicts Haji Bektash and his student Sarı Saltuk riding
on a dragon. The story, which is the subject of the description, requires a series of analyzes whose meaning can be
found in mythology and folk legends.
Since the research covers a current issue with artistic foundations, the referenced sources vary, boundaries can be
unclear. For this reason, document analysis, one of the data collection techniques, which is a qualitative research
method, was used to collect data in the research. In addition, since the work that is the subject of the study is a
miniature work, the visual work has been tried to be analyzed in terms of semiotics.
The process of transforming works of art into commercial commodities through auctions is not a new development.
As a natural consequence of the phenomenon of globalization, art has been turned into a valuable financial
instrument today. What is new here is the current role the media plays in the marketing of art in all its forms. The
artwork and the auction process, which are the subject of our review, give clues to all these new relationships. In
the research, besides analyzing the visual spaces of the first painting depicting Haji Bektash; how the work is
presented to the art market will be examined in the context of the culture industry (critical theory). The relationship
of a work produced within the tradition of a belief institution (Bektashism) with the art market and consumption
culture, the promotion and sales strategies carried out during the auction process will be discussed and examined.
Keywords: Art, Media, Auction, Miniature, Haji Bektash.
Summary
The article examines Ottoman inscriptions,
which are kept in the Regional History Museum - Vidin,
Bulgaria. The inscriptions are from buildings that
have not survived to this day. The inscriptions belong to
mosques, fountains and a sultan's tugrah.
Tombstones and Inscriptions contain historical and archaeological
authentic and very important data. The information they hold for the
past is sometimes very ımportant. In addition, they shed light on the
personalities and events unknown to archives and written sources.
There were no material assets other than a few historical records
regarding the tangible existence of the Turkmens who were settled
in the Palestinian territory during the Seljuks and Mamluks. But there
are some tombstones and a few inscriptions. These inscriptions in
Gaza and Jerusalem give us information about the Turkmen tribes
coming from the Euphrates basin and their leading leaders and
tamgas.
In this paper, the texts and pictures of these tombstones and
inscriptions will be presented in the symposium and the analysis and
comments about the Turkmens settled in Palestine will be included.

In Turkey, some highly qualified assessments have been made about the tombstones in the graves of important
Bektashi lodges in the Balkans. The fact that there were differences in method among them and the examination
of the examples in a dervish lodge led to the inability to reach an inclusive conclusion. With this article, a general
evaluation has been made for the first time according to a single method based on all the examples in the publications

have expressions that we find only on the tombstones of the Bektashis such as Ahl al-Bayt, Karbala, as well as the
Khalwatī, Mawlawī, Naqshibandī, Saʿdī, Sünbülī sect tombstones. Since our examples are from the years 1604 to
1945, our date limit was the 17th to 20th centuries. We have handled our examples in two main clusters, according
to the lodge order, as dervish and father dervish officers, and dervish lodge followers, consisting of soldiers, civil
servants, shopkeepers and their relatives, apart from the lodge. Apart from the 432 head stone fractures, 234 (54%)
were made for officials, 195 (45%) were made for the relatives, dependents and relatives of the officials. When we
consider Bektashism as certain, we have identified 18 title types in 3 main clusters: 24 body types, 2-sliced elifi,
4-sliced edhemi and 12-sliced huseyni. The titles are as high as 72.5%. The rate of expression patterns such as hu, hu

Maps represent one of the oldest forms of human communi- cation. For centuries, scientists have been convinced of the ex- pressive power of the map, which can speak beyond the barrier of the ordinary language. The significance of the map, especi- ally in the past, stems from the fact that people were making them to tell other people about the places and places they ex- perienced. The maps presented in this book are very impor- tant for studying the general and cultural history of the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the early modern period as well as the surrounding regions. The significance of their ana- lysis and publishing is even greater because the cartographic representations of the early Bosnian-Ottoman production area of Ottoman production are extremely rare and less familiar to the academic and professional public. Based on certain charac- teristics it can be assumed that maps represented in this book were created during the 18th century. Some of them are work of professionally engaged and educated Ottoman officials, while for others we assume that they are works of amateurs, most likely domestic people. The professional maps that emer- ged during the negotiations on the Ottoman-Russian demarca- tion processses in the Northern Steppes forming the nowadays Ukraine are a testament to the intense work, collaboration and commitment of the Ottoman and Russian members of the de- marcation commission. This is confirmed not only by the notes on the mentioned maps, but also by numerous other Ottoman documents from same period. At the same time, on the basis of a more detailed analysis, it can be concluded that the members of the demarcation commissions were educated and compe- tent to carry out the mentioned process, and that they spent a long time on the field, establishing a borderline on the spot. As for the amateur maps presented in this book, we also consider that they represent a significant historical source and valuable contribution of local inhabitants to the cartography of Ukraine during the Ottoman period. The Ottoman maps of Southeast Europe, where the territory of Ottoman Provinces is shown, on the other hand, are examples of the maps created by the compi- lation, based on the insights into the early modern maps of Eu- rope without a direct insight into the situation on the ground. Apart from the lines of demarcation and other textual parts on the maps, which place these maps among the primary histori- cal sources for studying the proces .

INTRODUCTION
There are two albums in the Austrian National Library which have probably the same
background. (Cod. Vindobonensis 8615 and 8626). An ambassadorial report in pictures
of the Ottoman Empire and its inhabitants. The 8615 will be published as volume 4 and
this the third volume contains nr. 8626.
The idea of an illustrated album with images of exotic figures and genre scenes was quite common during the late sixteenth century, when European ambassadors, merchants, and other travelers made it customary to leave an illustrated record of their encounters Ottoman
Empire. Along with written testimonies, the illustrations served as visual records of life in the Empire through the centuries. The Ottoman world aroused a great deal of artistic interest, and there was an increasing demand for pictorial records of the life of the Ottomans, hence commissions from the members of the elite societies in Europe. Important dignitaries and noblemen often commissioned such mementos, either as curiosities to be kept in their libraries or cabinets or as souvenirs, which documented their journeys to foreign or exotic places. Particular interest in such risky journeys was predetermined by the lack of knowledge about other peoples’ cultures and traditions. The obstacle of
cultural misunderstanding inherent in depicting other people was overcome by the variety of their representation, expressing the individual travellers’ personal visions, documenting their experiences of extraordinary meetings.
Furthermore, one of the most popular destinations was, of course, the world of the Ottomans. Though travel albums were very popular in Europe during the sixteenth century, most of the illustrations were copied after famous sources - travel records, diaries, so on and so forth. Known as one of the earliest records of an eyewitness account of travels in
the Ottoman Empire, Vienna Albums are especially significant given its commissioner’s high status. Like many popular travel albums, Vienna album illustrates the customs and the traditions of those inhabitants of the cities that the ambassador encountered and visited
during his travels in the Ottoman Empire in 1588-89, capturing and portraying the Ottoman society and culture, safeguarding and assuring the remembrance of that world.

every part an art object or an artist. We have given this volume the name of Coecke van der

and 2 Muscovites)
2. Pieter Coecke van Aelst Customs and Fashions of Turcs and (1553)
The set of Turks from Museum Booijmans van Beuningen, meanwhile, has a splendid counterpart in Pieter Coecke van Aelst’s 1553 frieze, more than four metres wide, depicting the customs and practices of the Turks.

Het boek is samengesteld door Hans Krol en Mehmet Tütüncü. Het gaat over de geschiedenis van een verloren schilderij. Adriaan Pauw (1585-1653) was raadspensionaris en is belangrijk geweest voor Heemstede. In 1620 kocht hij de heerlijkheid Heemstede en mocht zich daarna Heer van Heemstede noemen
Upon his arrival in Istanbul in 1612 Cornelis Haga, the first appointed
ambassador of the Netherlands to the Ottoman Empire, received a
warm welcome. The treaty which was signed in the same year set out
the trade and diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and
the Republic of Seven Provinces of the Netherlands.
In those years, while the Netherlands were striving for independence
from the Spanish Empire of the Habsburgs known as the 80 Years’ War,
they gained the support of the Ottoman Empire and thus the foundation
of strong relations was laid, which lasted for centuries.
Cornelis Haga, who settled in Istanbul, corresponded with the Netherlands
and constantly informed his country about the Ottoman Empire.
Dutch government officials who were curious about the appearance of
the city requested a great panorama painting of Istanbul. Haga sent a
huge painting to the Netherlands which was painted by a well-known
artist. A letter which was written by Haga was sent on 1st of October
1616. with the painting. He wrote “ With the ship called White Arend
which goes to Amsterdam, I am sending you the completely accurate
paint of Istanbul which is painted under my patronage. When the painting
arrived, it was to be delivered by my brother Johan Haga.”
We do not have information about the painting and its dimensions. The
only thing that we know is that the painting was hanging on the wall of
the Constantinople room of the Castle Hemstede. It was built in 1620
by Adrian Pauw, the general secretary of the Dutch National Council
(Raadpensionaris) in the village of Heemstede, which is located 50 km
from the capital city of the Hague, the administrative centre of the Netherlands.
Some of the writings on the rooms of this castle, which was destroyed
due to neglect in 1810, were kept in the archives. It is stated that the painting
was sent by Cornelis Haga. A copy of this very curious painting,
which has not survived, can be found in the Swedish National Library
today. In this book you will find the story of the making, disappearance
of this painting and a comparative analysis of Istanbul paintings.

This work comprises names and biographies of more than 650 illustrious persons and their genealogical connections with each other from the time of Adam to 1700 CE. What makes it important is that 205 of them are illustrated with portraits. The illustrations are presented chronologically and are, to a certain extent, interrelated. It thus presents an ideal source to learn about the affinities and the genealogy of the reigning dynasties and prophets. Because of all the
afore-mentioned qualities, we named this work, which does not bear any title, the Genealogy of Warsaw (Silsile-nâme-î Varşova).
In the portrait section of the work, the names of the people portrayed
are sometimes written below the Arabic inscription in pencil
in French and in English. These are additions to notices written in
different hands of the respective owners of the manuscript (Newton,
Barnard, Jaubert etc.). In the Genealogy, some lineages can be
followed carefully along lines. These are the Israelites, the Turks, the
Prophet Mohammed followed by the Caliphs
Painting the enemy with Love and admiration: D’Aleccios frescoes
and Turks
Matteo Perez D’Aleccio’s frescoes, painting and copper gravures are the most
important visual witnesses of the Great Siege of 1565. They are very much
studied but always for the point of view of Maltese Order and its patrons. In
Turkey they have never been an object of study or attention. They deserve
surely to be studied also from the point of opponents that are depicted.
Most striking of the frescoes is that they depict the war almost from the eyes
or focus from Turks and Turkish soldiers. The frescoes with the numbers
2,3,4,5,7,8 and 12 are painted from the eyes of Turkish soldiers. The other
(1 and 10) frescoes are eye birds eye view or are about the foreign help that is
arriving 6 and 11. Only in one fresco (9) both camps are given same weight.
What’s is further striking is that “the enemy” is painted without any demonization.
They are humans “Kahraman Düşman” Brave enemy They are humans
who are suffering hard and which whom the observer should have mercy.
Turkish soldiers are described very honestly and with great detail and love and
even one can say with admiration. If we consider this aspects the frescoes
could have been ordered by the Turkish Sultan, and Matteo could have done
the same work.
In this book the questions are asked and answered? How and why in a time of
great enmities this work of art could be completed?. And why the Order have
allowed Aleccio to have paid greater attention to the Turkish camp than to the
Maltese? Were this frescoes painted with an objective of reconciliation and
recognition of Turkish sufferings?. Questions that should have our attention
when we study the frescoes and its creator.
Mustafa Hami describes in almost 80 pages the route of the Ottoman expeditionary corps. He furnishes exact records of time and place, expressed partly in hours of march. His report ends with the re-entry of the force into Hudaydah after their abortive installation in San’ā’ in the middle of September 1849. The first part of his report on the Yemen is devoted in the first place to military matters. The second part with over 27 pages of closely written text contains geographical data. He describes minutely the fortifications of the towns with the layout and
names of their towers and gates. We learn of mosques and shrines, and agrarian products and taxation revenues are tabulated. ‘Ethnographic’ information fill out the descriptions of places. Mustafā Hāmī as a trained medical man practising in the Yemen, also concerns himself with various illnesses. The manuscript ends with 27 pages of colour illustrations that were drawn by Mustafa Hami. The Illustrations contains two maps with Red Sea and Harbour of Kamran followed Yemen’s important cities, fortifications, holy shrines, but also plants, and other peculiarities, like weapons. The Manuscript in facsimile is transliterated into Latin script and translated into modern Turkish. Introduction and extensive notes
both in English and in Turkish makes this book an excellent tool to learn the history, geography and human landscape of mid-19th century Yemen.

The movement of Shabbetai Sevi had great impact on the Jews in Europe. Many European Jews considered him as the savior who was waited long. His becoming of Turk was also very disappointing. The Dutch press in 17th Century was following the Shabbetai Sevi very narrowly. The book by Thomas Coonan who was Minister of Dutch Consulate in Izmir in 1669 with the title of Yodeled Verwachtinge der Joden is famous for its report from the Shabetai Sevi and its impact on the Jews in Turkey. However, this not only Shabetai’s journeys and actions were followed and reported in the Dutch press on a very frequent and actual frequency. Fortunately, one of the earliest Dutch newspaper Opregte Haarlemsche Courants copies has been preserved. The newspaper was established in 1656 and was published 2 times a week. The columns of the Newspaper from the years 1665 and 1666 contains frequently material and reports about Shabbatei Sevi and his movement. Correspondents wrote these reports from Symrna, Livorno, Amsterdam, London, Aleppo, Italy, France. When we study this material, one can obtain a real and contemporary view of the Shabbetai Sevi and its movement and its impact on the Jewry of Europe. This material of Haarlemsche Courant is a great and contemporary source, which has not been studied and published. In this contribution, I would like present this source to the conference, and make some preliminary remarks about the publication of this important source.

Evidence is emerging that this stone, found among the Turkish inscriptions in the museum on Rhodes Island, was placed as a talısmanıc stone that protected Turkish sailors from disasters and storms and carried codes for their safe arrival.2016 In August of that year, I made a working visit to Rhodes Island with my friend Architect Mehmet Emin Yılmaz. During our visit to the museum, this stone attracted my attention.
Summary
The article examines Ottoman inscriptions, which are kept in the Regional History Museum - Vidin, Bulgaria. The inscriptions are from buildings that have not survived to this day. The inscriptions belong to mosques, fountains and a sultan's tugrah.

Museum in Austria
Mehmet Tütüncü
The Weltmusuem (World museum) in Vienna is an ethnographic museum a dependance of Kunsthistorische
Museum. The ethnographic art works of nations of the world are exhibited. A small section
here is devoted to the Islamic world. When I visited this museum on August 5in 2002, a stone inscription
in the showcase caught my attention. I tried to read the inscription by comparing it with the
information on the panel. Although some of the information on the panel was wrong, it was important
tbecaus it giveth information about the provennce of the inscription.
The Text of this information (in both German and English in the footnote below1).
It is stated that the inscription was written in Bosnian Arabic script. However, the language of the inscription
is not Bosnian, there is no such typeface of writing thts called as Bosnian Arabic script / Is it
that difficult to say that the inscription was written in Ottoman Turkish and Arabic letters? In addition,
it is stated that the Zvornik castle was destroyed by the Austrians during the occupation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina in 1878 and the inscription was brought to Vienna
Famous and enigmatic at the same time, this is how the “Masters of Tabriz” could be defined. They are well-known because they are associated with the splendid Ottoman tiles of the 15th and 16th centuries but the identity of these ceramists remains mysterious in many respects. Their denomination is itself a problem, it comes from the signature Ustādān-i Tabrīz inscribed in the Yeşil Cami of Bursa (1424). Therefore, generally, it refers only to the craftsmen who produced this masterpiece. However, this same name covers in fact four groups of ceramists who worked mainly in Bursa, Edirne, Istanbul and Jerusalem for almost a century and a half. We could of course think they are from Tabriz, but this designation is misleading because they are not all from this Iranian city. It is not only their geographical origin that is controversial, but also several aspects of their history. Indeed, certain architectural tiles which they have not signed give rise to problems of attribution and consequently lead to further questions concerning their artistic route through the Ottoman lands and neighbouring regions. Even the few monumental signatures are subject to discussion because they do not necessarily designate ceramists, thus making the reconstitution of these different groups more difficult. The “Masters of Tabriz” did not leave a biography and this is the reason why a large number of hypotheses have been formulated since the beginning of the 20th century. This study proposes a critical approach to all methods of identification in order to distinguish between reliable and uncertain theories. The aim is to put an end to misconceptions as their puzzling history gives rise to imaginary stories.
This study was presented at the 16th International Congress of Turkish Arts held in Ankara in 2019, but was not published because the congress editorial board required an original topic. Indeed, I already had the opportunity to write about the “Masters of Tabriz” in Eurasian Studies in 2017, however the approach is different. The previous article mainly focused on rereading ancient texts and monumental inscriptions as some of them were subject to extrapolations and hasty deductions which necessarily falsified the identification of these ceramists. As for this present paper, it exposes and shows the limits of all identification methods (monumental signatures, names of artists in the archives, nisba, comparative study of ceramics, ancient texts, monumental inscriptions) which can indeed be interpreted in different ways and generates false notions.
remained from the First Turkic Khaganate has created a “vacuum” in the field about
what the official (written) language of the Khaganate was. Although one and only one
inscription was based upon as a very weak and insufficient basis, this vacuum was
first wanted to be filled with Sogdian, regarding the Sogdian part of the (bilingual)
Bugut inscription, one of the inscriptions Bugut and Khüis Tolgoi which are supposed
to be the only inscriptions remained from the First Turkic Khaganate. However,
together with that the part in Brāhmī script of the Bugut inscription, and the Khüis
Tolgoi inscription again in Brāhmī script, which were not able to be read afore, have
recently been read being interpreted as a kind of early Mongolic or para-Mongolic,
a second official language has been claimed for the First Turkic Khaganate besides
Sogdian: “written imperial Mongolic”, the state language of the Ruan-Ruan Empire.
But the “new reality” we have exposed in this article is that First Turkic Khaganate left
inscriptions in Turkic, that is to say, “the stage is not empty at all”. So, there is not any
vacuum about what the official language of the First Turkic Khaganate was. Turkic
runic script was in use even in the establishment of the First Turkic Khaganate (552)
and on the basis of the existing documents in Turkic in runic script remained from that
period, the official/written language of the First Turkic Khaganate was indisputably
(“written imperial”) Turkic.
Key Words: Tsetsüüh Roof Tile Inscription (552 AD), Kara Katu Inscription (593
AD), the official language of the First Turkic Khaganate.
In the ancient city Sura located 22 km west of Raqqa, Syria ISIS terrorists made illegal excavations for the purpose of pillage after capturing the region in 2013.
Ali Othman, an archeologist and heritage curator in University of Paris who carried
out archeological studies in Sura until 2011 when he had to leave the region, and was
following afar in sorrow that pillage and destruction from the photographs to whom his local contacts submitted via mobile phone, noticed in the photographs in 2015 a new inscription on a piece of column uncovered by chance in one of the excavation pits.
As a result of an intensive epigraphical research conducted after that date it has been understood that this inscription, a sample of which has not been encountered previously in the region, is connected to the historical runic writing system of the Turkic-speaking
peoples of Southern Siberia. However, the inscription had not yet been read until our work. In this article we present our reading proposal for Sura runic inscription and report our views and evaluations on the context and dating of the inscription. The conclusion we reached is that the inscription had been left by Huns after a Hun commander who had died probably in the battles, during their occupation lasting approximately two years,
including all of Syria, Mesopotamia and Eastern Anatolia along with a part of Central Anatolia, in the raids which the eastern wing of European Huns organized through
the Caucasus between the years 395-396. Therefore, we think the inscription is dated between the years 395-396. By this aspect of it this one-line inscription has also the
feature of being the first real Western Hun Turkic and in addition, Proto-Turkic (?) (1st
- 6th centuries AD) text.
Key words: Sura runic inscription, Southern Siberia - Yenisei region Turkic runic script,
European Huns, Hun commander Kursik (? < Kurčik), Western Hun Turkic.
The present article discusses imprints of one such lost ecclesiastical bilingual seal, its owner, the documents stamped with it, and the documents’ significance for the mid-18th century.

OTTOMAN INSCRIPTION OF BARBAROSSA’S FATHER from MYTILENE
(LESBOS)
The first traces of Moslems in Anatolia have been found at Knidos
antique city in Datça, Muğla province. Mehmet Tütüncü, the
head of the Turk-Arab World Research Center, found eight Arabic
inscriptions under rubble and plants at Knidos and determined
that they date from the year 715 A.D. The inscriptions reveal
that an advance force of a Moslem military expedition that would
undertake the second effort to seize Istanbul from the Byzantines in
717, had taken Knidos.
Tütüncü explained that “I think that Knidos was seized in order
to provide a resting/staging point for the Moslem forces coming
from the Middle East and North Africa to take Istanbul. The
Byzantines then living in Knidos were overcome and their church
was turned into a mosque. Moslems killed in Turkish battle for
Knidos were buried in a cemetery there. After the failure of the
Istanbul siege, the Moslems abandoned Knidos in 717. We think
the returning Byzantines destroyed the mosque and the cemetery.
There are probably more documents and gravestones belonging to
Moslems yet to be found at Knidos.”
Additionally, Tütüncü stated that “I encountered Arabic texts on
the stone pavement of the Byzantine church called ‘Doric Stoa’ at
Knidos. The first Moslem naval commander was Muaviye, the
Omayyad ruler at the time of the first attempted Moslem siege of
Istanbul in 668 A.D., which ended with the death of Eyyup el
Ensari. Today, at Knidos in Datça there is a sundial, a Temple
of Apollo, the Corinth Temple and a theater dating from ancient
times. When an excavation headed by İris Love dug here in 1969
the Islamic material was not dealt with, so Turkish archeologists
will have to do the job.

IN THIS ISSUE OF IJOT
The 6th edition of the International Journal of Turkology
is dedicated to an unknown and forgotten city on the Ottoman
borderland. The city of Ismail – or in Ukrainian
Izmail – on the northern Kilia branch of Danube River,
some 70 kilometers away from the Black sea, is now a
sleeping city with no crossing, no bridge and not customs
authority, even though its located a few hundred
meters away from the border to Romania, which is on
the other side of the Danube.
Ismail was once a thrilling city, with a multi-ethnic
community. The city was established in 1589 by an Ottoman
Black Eunuch, Chief of Sultans harem, Abyssinian
Mehmed Agha, who dedicated the incomes form the
city to the Holy cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem.
Ismail was important because it was located on a famous
crossing point of Danube. Before the Ottomans, it
was yearly visited and looted by brigands. The Ottoman
Sultan Murad III decided to establish a fortress and a
city, and the order was given to Habeshi Mehmed Agha,
who with great efforts mobilized a whole set of Ottoman
government bodies to found the city within a few years.
In that year, all the infrastructure for a prosperous city
was implemented. A fortress, a Khan, a Mosque, a customs
authority, a shipyard, etc. were established. Ismail
became a prosperous city for the coming 200 years.
Located at a crossing point, the city was attacked
by Russian troops in the 17th and 18th century Ottoman-
Russian wars. In 1790, under the famous attack
by general Suvorov, the city was burned and the civil
population was excarnated by Russian Troops. The city
never recovered from this attack, and in 1856 – with
the treaty of Paris – the fortress was demolished, and
the Ottoman local Muslim population left. The Russians
established a new city near the old city. This new local
population never showed any interest in the old city, and
so the city fell into amnesia.
In 2019, the editors of this volume Mehmet Tütüncü
and Andrey Krasnozhon has published a book (see
back cover of this journal for further information) that
clarifies and discloses the documentation on the city’s
200 years existence from 1590 until 1790. The book,
published in the Ukraine and Turkish language, was received
very well. The articles in this Journal is a follow
up on our monography on Ismail. In this volume, we
have included some new research about Ismail.
The first article is from Andrey Krasnozhon, who
gives an introduction into Ismail’s short but interesting
city life, from its establishment to its destruction.
The second article by Mehmet Emin Yılmaz is about
the only remnant of Ottoman Ismail. It is the Habeshi
Mehmed Agha Mosque which is very beautiful and picturesque
and the oldest of the region. This mosque, with
its cupola, is a gem of Ottoman architecture. For a long
time it was used as a church, and nowadays it is used
as a DIORAMA panorama museum of attack of Ismail.
Mehmet Emin Yilmaz an architect from Ankara with
years-long experience, has done an attempt to research
the original mosque and its features.
The third article is about the Danube and its ships.
During our research, we found a map in Russian archives
which also enclosed a map of the city, which is
published in our monography last year. But this map has
also very interesting drawings of boats, ships, and carriers
in the Danube river. Dr. Okay Sütcüoğlu from Antalya
University has made a meticulous study of these
boats and their origins.
The fourth article is by dr. Berat Açıl from Istanbul’s
Şehir University. He has studied a part of the waqfıyye
of Habeshi Mehmet Agha, which also was published in
our book. This waqfiye enumerates books possessed by
Habeshi Mehmed Agha. This article gives insight into
the life and the library and intellectual interests of an
Ottoman statesman.
The last article is by Hulya Yarar Cakiroglu who has
discovered and translated Ottoman documents which
gives information about the attack on Ismail of 1790.
There is much literature about this attack from the Russian
side, but information from Ottoman the side is very
rare.
We hope to have prepared an interesting periodical.
We have enough material fora second Ismail issue which
is planned in October this year.
IJOT is open for all participants who are welcome
to submit articles for our next issues. It could be on all
fields of Turkology and adjacent (Turkish Islamic material
culture in the broadest sense). The articles could
be in Turkish, English, French, Russian,or Arabic. Our
IJOT is until now completely free, but all readers and
supporters are most welcome to donate any amount. You

Mehmet Tütüncü - Andrey Krasnozhon .
Gaspard Testa, only 23 years old at the time, interpreter and secretary of the embassy in Constantinople, travels with him and records the events daily in a diary. He writes in French with beautiful calligraphy and tells about the route, the distances, the landscapes, the people, the food and the events along the way. We get an impression of the Ottoman countryside. We pass through areas battered by the French Revolution in Austria and Germany. We visit Belgrade, Budapest, Vienna, Regensburg, Frankfurt and Cologne. The young Gaspard widens his eyes. And we watch with him. The texts, which are more than two hundred years old, force themselves on us like an exciting film.
The original travel diaries are in the National Archives in The Hague and are being published here for the first time in Dutch. The legible text is provided with beautiful old illustrations, maps and explanations and recent photos that were made especially for this publication.

The Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands, is the worldwide symbol of peace through jus- tice. It opened its doors in 1913 and has served the ideal of “Peace through Law” ever since. Today, it houses the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the United Nations International Court of Justice, The Hague Academy of International Law and the Peace Palace Library.
The Peace Palace in The Hague houses what is probably the largest Hereke carpet outside Türkiye. For more than 112 years the carpet has been part of the inventory of the Palace.
in 1899 and 1907 there were 2 great multinational Peace Conferences in Tha Hague. In 1907
it was decided to build a peace palace where the International Court of Justice should be housed. In 1907, when the first stone of the Peace Palace was laid, countries were asked to contribute to the construction of the Palace. Over 40 countries responded to this call, donating works of art such as paintings and vases, or building materials such as wood and marble. In this way the Peace Palace is not only a place for the world, but also from the world.
The Ottoman Empire donated a large Hereke carpet (160m2) with a floral decor on red ground. Hereke carpets of such superior quality were specially commissioned for palaces
in the Ottoman Empire by the Ottoman Sultan, Abdülhamid II. Characteristic of the Hereke carpet is its great durability and quality, partly due to the use of the Gordes knotting techni- que, the double knot. In addition, Hereke carpets are recognizable by the beautiful traditional Anatolian patterns and floral motifs that are passed on from generation to generation.

In the november 2020 (nr. 10) of this Journal I have (hereafter MT) published an article (10 pages) with long appendices (60 pages).
It was about a obvious attempt of plagiarism of an earlier article that was published by current author in 2015.
My original article of me from 2015 can be consulted from here:
https://www.academia.edu/37204629/
The article that plagiarized my work was published in 2020 in the respectable journal Muqarnas with chief editor Prof. Guru Necipoglu (hereafter GN).
The article by Deniz Beyazit (herafter DB) who plagiarised my article can be consulted from here:
https://brill.com/view/journals/muqj/37/1/article-p209_8.xml (behind a paywall and I have not found a free access)
I have written short after thıs last article discontent. This last article which was I tried to show the similarities between both first works and accusing (DB) about plagiarism can be consulted and read from next link.
https://www.academia.edu/44380943/
It’s now nearly 4 years later and after the publication of this last article I have corresponded with the chief editor (GN) and editorial board of Muqarnas. I think for the further debate how such a behaviour is awarded and regarded, its important that this correspondence should be made public. I am therefore here disclosing my correspondence. also with the argument to contribute to this difficult academic discussion.
Unpublished Ottoman Inscriptions from Dobruja pp. 5-23
One of the less explored fields of the Ottoman Balkan Studies is the Ottoman Inscriptions. There is no corpus of these important witnesses of history, which can tell some hidden stories of building activities in the Balkans. I am some years involved with producing a corpus of Ottoman Inscriptions in the Balkans. Such a corpus can contribute to the history of Ottoman and Turkish language in the Balkans. In collecting this corpus, I am friendly AND voluntarily assisted (helped) by many Romanian colleagues , who send me new discovered inscriptions, or Inscriptions that are in the collections of museums and which are not published. In this article I would like publish some inscriptions from Tulcea Museum which have been photographed and send me by Aurel Daniel-Stanica. These are mostly funerary inscriptions.
Next inscriptions with their content make subject of this contribution. they are read as far as its possible, translated into English and additional remarks and comments to enlighten the content are added.
