Ottoman Historical Documents
On the constituent elements of certain sixteenth-century Ottoman documents
The tercentenary year of the second siege of Vienna by the Turks has seen the first-fruits of a long-planned venture, the publication in full of the Ottoman documents preserved in the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv. This first part presents, in facsimile and with full transcription and translation, the texts of 36 documents issued in the name of Süleymān the Magnificent (1520-66), one being addressed to Charles V as 'King of Spain', 28 to Ferdinand…
The English Capitulation of 1580
The late Professor Paul Wittek (1894–1978) had an oddly ambivalent attitude towards England. From 1940 until his death he left London only rarely, for short visits to the continent, where (we understood) he would declare that England was the only place to live; but once back across the Channel he would, in conversation and in his seminars, resume his criticisms, ranging from the British Government's unwisdom in promoting the dismantlement of the …
The “Gurū Nānak” inscription at Baghdad
In his Gurū Nānak and the Sikh religion (Oxford, 1968), Dr. W. H. McLeod quoted verbatim (pp. 131–2) a note which, at his invitation, I had sent to him regarding an inscription at Baghdad. This inscription, discovered by some Sikh soldiers after the entry of British and Indian troops into the city in March 1917, is now set in the wall inside the reputed (and much restored) tomb of Buhlūl, itself adjacent to the tombs of Sitt Zubayda (the wife of …
The 'Annals of Murād II
It is now some years since Professor Halil İnalcik expressed the hope that a 'systematic investigation in the library collections of Turkey' might bring to light, in their original independent form, the fifteenth-century Ottoman 'calendars' (taḳvīm) or 'chronological lists' whose existence is to be postulated from the analysis of the style and content of the chronicle-texts into which they have evidently been incorporated. The subject of these li…
Sir Gerard Clauson
But as he himself put it, "the First War and the need to earn a living diverted my interest into other channels"-a distinguished career in the Colonial Office, where he was Assistant Under-Secretary from 1940 until his retirement in 1951. Throughout his Civil Service career, however, he kept up his interest in philology and archaeology, publishing the occasional article and acquiring new languages, among them Russian and Chinese, while he started…

Neshrī's History of the Ottomans
On the recensions of Uruj's 'History of the Ottomans
The so-called 'Anonymous Chronicles' of the Ottoman dynasty and the closely related texts which pass under the name of Uruj present formidable problems to an editor, for they are not 'histories' in the classical sense, handed down in copies made for scholars by professional copyists, but rather storybooks of the genre of the Baṭṭāl-nāme and the Dānishmend-nāme, written for the edification and entertainment of the ordinary man, so that many a 'cop…
Some Notes on the Dev sh irme
No Ottoman institution has aroused more bitter criticism than the dev sh irme the ‘tribute of blood’, especially—and naturally—among those Christian peoples whose forebears were subjected to it; and at the same time none touches on so many fundamental problems. Dr. Basilike Papoulia, bringing together the Western and oriental sources and submitting them to a close and careful analysis, has now presented the first full discussion of its origin and…
The Mission of an Ottoman Secret Agent in France in 1486
Upon the sudden death of Meḥemmed II in May, 1481, his two surviving sons, each hastily summoned from his provincial governorate by his own partisans among the Ottoman statesmen, set out with all speed to Istanbul. The race was won by the elder, Bāyezīd; but the younger son Jem had so strong and numerous a following that it was not until July, 1482, that he was finally obliged to admit defeat and take refuge at Rhodes with the Knights of St. John…
The Serpent Column in Ottoman Sources
Just over a century ago the first excavations at the foot of the Serpent Column in the Hippodrome at Istanbul led to the discovery on it of the engraved names of the city-states whose contingents had fought at Plataea, thus confirming the justice of Gibbon's caustic footnote on its authenticity: that “the guardians of the most holy relics would rejoice if they were able to produce such a chain of evidence as may be alleged” from the Classical and…
The Menāqib of Yakhshi Faqīh
In a passage found in all manuscripts of 'Āshiqpashazāde's History of the Ottomans, and hence in the two editions 'C' and 'G, the author relates that in 816/1413, when Meḥemmed I marched against his brother Mūsā, he himself-then a lad of about thirteen and evidently accompanying the army-fell ill and was left behind at Geyve (the township where the main road from Ankara to Constantinople crosses the Sakaria
Mūsā Čelebi's Nishān of 815/1412
A few weeks ago while looking through our library's set of Ibrahim Hakki Konyah's popular periodical Tarih Hazinesi, with its lavish photographs of important material, I chanced on the reproduction of a nishān of 815/1412, one of the illustrations accompanying an article on the Turkish State Archives (vol. i, no. 5, issue of 15 January 1951, p. 238
Kātib Čelebiana
The commemoration volume published by the Turkish Historical Society for the tercentenary of the death of the Ottoman polymath Kātib Čelebi (1609-57) contains an exhaustive survey of his works by 0. Ş. Gökyay, with much new information on the extant manuscripts. Here appears a description of his Rawnaq al-salṭana 'Splendour of the sultanate', previously known only from the author's cursory mention of it, in his Mīzān al-ḥaqq, as 'a history of Con…
Ms Fatih 4205
Only comparatively recently was it recognized that the few MSS of portions of Kemālpaazāde's 'History of the Ottoman Dynasty' which exist in the libraries of Western Europe represent less than a half of the complete work and that there survives in Istanbul the great bulk of the ten books of which it originally consisted
The Map of Hajji Ahmed' and its Makers
Thisstudy owes its inception to Sir Percival David, who possesses among the treasures in his private collection one of the few surviving copies of a large engraved map of the world, known to students of cartography as the Map of Hajji Ahmed. Invited by its owner to translate for him the legends in the map and especially the lengthy text accompanying it, which are written in Turkish, I became aware that a close analysis of this text yielded more i…
Sidelights on the Devshirme from Idrīs and Sa'duddīn
In connexion with Professor Wittek's article 'Devshirme and sharī'a' in BSOAS, xyn, 2, pp. 271-8, a passage in Idrīs Bitlīsī's Hasht bihisht is of interest, for there the author, far from feeling any incompatibility between the devshirme and the sharī'a, even shows the former as justified by the latter
