Jewish Sectarians, Turkic Khazars or true Israelites? Contradictory images of the Crimean Karaites in modern literature
“It Was the Poles That Gave Me Most Pain”
This chapter examines the history of the trade in Polish slaves and captives in the Tatar and Ottoman Crimea in early modern times using hitherto unknown archival evidence and rare printed sources. Tatar predatory raids into Polish territory started in 1468 and ended in 1769. According to some estimates, the total number of captives seized in Poland between c.1500 and c.1700 could have been as many as a million; perhaps at least half of them were…
Polish Slaves and Captives in the Crimea in the Seventeenth Century
The article examines the history of the trade in Polish slaves and captives in the Tatar and Ottoman Crimea in the seventeenth century on the basis of hitherto unknown archival evidence and rare printed sources. After the capture an average Polish slave of simple origin was transported to the Crimea, where he had been sold on the local slave markets. Unless he had some special qualifications, a slave usually had to fulfil agricultural duties and …
Karaite Joseph Ezra Dubitskii and King John III Sobieski
An early fifteenth‐century illuminated manuscript, known also as the Sobieski Book of Hours, is undoubtedly one of the most valuable medieval manuscripts from those currently kept in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Produced in the workshop of the Master of the Duke of Bedford in Paris between 1420 and 1425, this beautiful manuscript represents a collection of prayers for private devotional use. Somewhat surprisingly, the only exact chronolog…
Slave Trade in the Early Modern Crimea From the Perspective of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish Sources
The Crimea, a peninsula on the border between the Christian West and the Muslim East, was a place where merchants from all over the Black Sea region, East and West Mediterranean, Anatolia, Turkey, Russia, and West European countries came to buy, sell, and exchange their goods. In this trade "live merchandise"—reluctant travellers, seized by the Tatars during their raids to adjacent countries—was one of the main objects to be negotiated. Numerous …
Slaves, Money Lenders, and Prisoner Guards
The Crimea, a peninsula lying in the Northern part of the Black Sea, has been inhabited since ancient times by representatives of various ethnic groups and confessions. Trade in slaves and captives was one of the most important (if not the most important) sources of income of the Crimean Khanate in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The role which was played by the Jewish population in this process has still not been properly investigated. Ne…
Faithful Unto Death
The Karaite communities of Eastern Europe, whose settlement in this region dates back to the 13th–14th centuries, are about to disappear. Barely three hundred Karaites are to be found in what were
