Byzantinische Kulturgeschichte

Author(s): Heinrich Gelzer / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 1909

The Byzantine Empire was judged extremely harshly in earlier times, and Byzantinism is considered by us to be the technical expression for a servile tail-wagging. According to the view of the time, Byzantium was the epitome of all wickedness and depravity. However, thanks to the penetrating research work of the past generation, as it was carried out by the leading men among the Byzantinists - I mention among the French: Cardinal Pitra, Rambaud de l'Institut, Legrand, G. Schlumberger de l'Institut, Duchesne de l 'Institut, Diehl, RP Louis Petit 0. SA, Omont, among the Germans: Cardinal Hergenroether, Gass, Ehrhard, Krumbacher, Treu, de Boor, among the English: Finlay, Bury, among the Austrians: Miklosich, Müller, Jirecek, among the Russians: Veselovsky, Vasilievsky, Golubinsky, Durnowo, among the Greeks: Hatzidakis, Lambros, etc. - at least among the more highly educated, the thick fog of limited and dull prejudices gradually began to dissipate. So in the past generation a completely new picture of the medieval Greek state on the Bosporus, which has been cleared of the stale prejudices and which is vastly different from the previous one, has emerged.

Constantinople depuis les origines jusqu’à nos jours

Author(s): Georges Young / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 1948

Young, and this is not the least of his merits, emphasizes the role of economic factors in history. In the clan struggles, the Crusades, the conflict between Turks and Greeks, he distinguishes an economic background which gives a singular force to his argument. // A very important place is reserved in the book for the contemporary history of the city and, more generally, of Turkey. And there, Georges Young ceases to be only a historian to retrace for us a number of personal memories which make this part of his book very engaging. // Finally, a great idea dominates his work. Constantinople, a Christian city, will become Christian again one day. The phenomena that others present as signs of decline are, on the contrary, for Young only symptoms of national renaissance. Not that he despises the Turks! Far from there. But the Turks, in his view, were never in their place in Constantinople. Mustapha Kemal understood it well who transferred the capital of the Turkish Republic to Ankara. And it was in the face of this beginning of a solution to the 'old Question of the Orient that Georges Young made the reader take leave of Constantinople. (the editor)

Die türkische Heeresmacht und ihre Entwicklung

Author(s): Heinrich Karl Abraham Imhoff / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 1916

The following is a brief presentation without numbers or tables. The decisive factor was the desire to give the reader, who today has to deal with a huge amount of material, a picture of the development of the Turkish army in a compact space without tireing him out with factual details, although the material often leads to debauchery in both military and technical terms tempted. For those readers who want to dig deeper, refer to the main sources (page 24), to the works of v. Hammer, Zinkeisen, Ritter von Sachs, etc., also referred to the publications in the "Militär-Wochenblatt" from 1908 onwards.

Histoire de l'Empire Ottoman

Author(s): Théophile Lavallée / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 1855

The events taking place in the East today (1855!) are the continuation and the consequence of the revolutions which have agitated this part of the world for several centuries. To fully understand the facts which are being accomplished before our eyes, to fully appreciate the mission and the rights of France in the current war, to even prejudge the outcome and the results, as well as the influence that it must have on the destinies of Europe, one must know, not in its details, which are of little interest to the peoples of the West, but in its broad features, its general results, its most important revolutions, the history of formation, of the greatness of the decline of the Ottoman Empire; you need to have a clear idea of the institutions, customs, races, peoples, religions of this empire, made up of so many different elements; even the geography of these poorly known countries must be unraveled. Finally, France has not ceased, since ancient times, even before the Crusades, to have relations, interests and sympathies with the East; at times she played a leading role; it has exercised, at all times, a beneficent and civilizing influence: one must know this history of the relations of France with the Ottoman Empire, a history almost entirely ignored, full of lessons and glorious memories, and which gives, by national tradition, the key to current events. // Such is the object of this book, which is, not the learned, detailed history of the Ottoman Empire, with the tedious account of its palace revolutions and its provincial rebellions, but the succinct account of events Europeans of this history, this history reduced to the facts which interest a French reader, finally, if one can express it thus, a view of the Ottoman Empire taken from France.

Kaiser Wilhelm II. und die Byzantiner

Author(s): Ernst Graf zu Reventlow / Language(s): German / Publication Year: 1906

This work was already finished when „Hohenlohe‘s Memorabilia“ appeared; they were therefore neither used to characterize the emperor nor to those of his surroundings. After the part of the content of the memorabilia known to me, they give me no cause for corrections; on the contrary, they confirm many aspects which I could develop only on the basis of conclusions and as hypotheses. The conversations between Prince Hohenlohe and the Emperor after the fall of Bismarck, especially those in 1894 and earlier the conversation about the national monument, provide fully valid proof of the correctness of my assumptions. It is up to the reader to find and compare the numerous other points of contact and coverings from Hohenlohe's memorabilia.

L’Europe et l’Empire Ottoman. Les Aspects actuels de la Question d’Orient

Author(s): René Pinon / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 1913

Europe, bruised in the Far East by Japanese victories, grappling at home with the unknown of great social upheavals, rocked by the ever-appealing visions of universal peace, could it one day soon find itself? face to face with the always formidable reality of an acute crisis of the question of the East? This is the question we would like this book to answer. And if predicting is always, in politics, a temerity, at least we would like that at the end of these pages, the reader takes away some clear ideas on the causes which could determine a new crisis of the question of the East, on the conditions under which it would develop, on the attitude that the great European powers and the small Balkan states would be led to adopt.

L’Europe et la Jeune Turquie. Les Aspects nouveaux de la Question d’Orient

Author(s): René Pinon / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 1913

This book is composed according to the same method as L'Europe et l‘Empire ottoman; we will not find a complete and chronological account of the events, but a series of tables which complement each other and which tend to explain rather than to relate the facts, to group them, to show the links which unite them. and which link them to each other to form the fabric of history. Hence the plan we adopted. // In an Introduction, we show in „The Rivalry of Germany and England“ the general fact which dominates all the politics of our time, which mixes with all events to poison and distort them and which is found in bottom of all the political crises whose succession agitates Europe periodically. It is European rivalries which dramatize local quarrels and which give them unexpected repercussions; often it is even they who provoke them.

L'Empire du Levant. Histoire de la Question d’Orient

Author(s): René Grousset / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 1949

The history of the Eastern Question does not begin, as is too often believed, in the seventeenth century. To be intelligible, it must go from the Hellenic period to current events. // In this perspective, I have sought to follow the evolution of the borders - spirituals and politicals - between Europe and Asia. // I define Europe: all the countries heirs to Hellenic culture. The first time that the European spirit became aware of itself, it was in Greece, in the fifth century BC. It arose by opposing the Asians in these days of Marathon and Salamis who, by consecrating the liberty of Hellas, were found to have assured for eight centuries the independence of the Greek genius, that is to say, the appearance of the European spirit. Since then, the notion of a Europe has continued to expand and expand, without, however, the initial data changing too radically. The Roman Empire was the integration of Latinity and, through it, of the entire Western world into Greek civilization. Medieval Christianity was the accession to this same culture of the Germanic world and the Slavic world. The nearer times, finally, represent the return of the civilization thus elaborated to its spiritual sources, the rebirth of the Greek scientific spirit in modern science.
