Heterodox Tribes of Asia Minor

Professor von Luschan, in his Huxley lecture on Early Inhabitants of Asia Minor? has done much to bring order into our ideas of the still insufficiently known ethnological and religions divisions of that country.His studies are based mainly on his personal observations, and his point of view is for the most part that of a physical anthropologist.His predecessors in field work, dealing generally with narrower areas, have produced a great mass of literature, scattered or in some cases difficult of access, and no serious attempt has been made to approach the problems involved from the historical side.It therefore seems worth while at this stage to bring together the scattered material of explorers and collate with it such historical information as may be gleaned from pointed sources, with the object of presenting in one view a summary of the facts at our disposal and the problems they suggest for the investigation of future explorers in the history, and particularly the religious history, of Anatolia.European travellers in Asia Minor, mainly classical archaeologists and very seldom orientalists, are generally better acquainted with Christianity than with Islam.Consequently, the divisions of the Christians are more obvious to them than those of the Mahommedan populations.By most the latter are regarded as a single whole, and any divergence they may notice from orthodox Sunni practice suggests to them that the population in question has been affected by Christianity, that is, it represents an originally Christian population half-converted to Islam.This 1 [My husband left this article in an unfinished condition.Shortly before his death, he expressed a doubt as to whether it should be published, but as illness and war conditions had separated him for more than three years from his MS., he spoke from memory only
