This collection explores the complexities of translation in the Ottoman Empire, examining the intersections of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish (elsine-i selse) that formed the linguistic backbone of Ottoman high culture and literature. The contributors investigate translation practices, cultural exchange, and power relations that shaped the Ottoman intellectual landscape, covering topics such as literary translations, lexicography, and the evolution of Ottoman Turkish as a lingua franca. Focusing on the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the articles reveal the intricate web of linguistic, cultural, and historical forces that influenced translation decisions, authorship, and readership in the Ottoman Empire, shedding new light on the dynamics of cross-cultural communication and knowledge transfer in pre-modern Eurasia.

What was happening elsewhere in the world when Robert the Bruce was outlawed and Mary Queen of Scots lost her head? When Genghis Khan was on the warpath and Ivan the Terrible was the Russian czar, what was happening in Scotland? Find the answers to these questions in 2,000 years of Scottish history presented alongside what was happening in the rest of the world.By placing events in Scotland in relation to those elsewhere, we can see what is different or distinctive about Scotlands experience. Simultaneously we can also see where movements in Scottish history were part of wider cultural or political change in Europe and beyond. John Knoxs fiery sermons of the 1560s were connected into a wider Protestant Reformation, but they also represented a singularly Scottish version of a European phenomenon.Connecting Scotlands History also gives us a history of many Scotlands. We see the hybrid nature of a country where multiple peoples have come together in a distinctively Scottish mixture. From the Gaels, Picts and Norse people to more recent influxes from England, Ireland, continental Europe and beyond, Scotlands history tells us of internal connections as well as connections between Scotland and the wider world.

This third of four volumes of Hospitaller history is believed to be the first in depth treatment of Hospitaller history during the years 1565 to 1623 since Bartolomeo dal Pozzos Historia della Sacra Religione Militare di S. Giovanni completed in 1703. Following a post mortem on the 1565 Ottoman Siege of Malta, this third volume moves quickly into accounts of 1570s Hospitaller raid on the Ionian island of Santa Maura (modern Levkas), of the 1570 naval Battle of Cape Passero (Sicily), of the 1570-71 Ottoman Siege of Famagusta, Cyprus, and of the 1571 Naval Battle of Lepanto in Greeces Gulf of Patras, the most deadly naval battle in history. While mention is made in the latter instance of Christian Commander Don Juan, half-brother of Spains King Philip II, there is lengthier treatment of Juans Ottoman counterpart Muezzinzade Ali, and even lengthier treatment of numerous Hospitallers and lower-ranking Ottomans participating. It is by intention that these histories bring to light contributions of lieutenants, allies, and enemies as well as descriptions of events, heroism, agony, and even tedium leading to the headlines. Hence these four histories also deal with the Hospitals long war against bubonic plague, its prolonged suffering from the greed of Papal nepotism, its constant struggle to remain financially viable, its consequential participation in state-sponsored piracy, and its survival only on the backs of slaves. It is important to realize that Hospitallers were agents of a vast Catholic organization blanketing Europe, and while the largest group of Hospitallers were knights, perhaps half were Chaplains or Serving Brothers. In Europe there were an unknown number of commanderies or local concentrations of knights, chaplains, or serving brothers, perhaps a thousand, many with their own medical facilitity, each with one to thirty Hospitallers operating for-profit enterprises expected to support headquarters with a portion of the profit. And while history focuses on the headquarters, in these volumes at Rhodes, Malta, and in between, by far the majority of Hospitallers rarely or never visited headquarters. Furthermore, the Hospitaller Bailiwick of Brandenburg was a virtually independent organization said by some to be of a size approaching the remaining Hospital, electing its own Herrenmeisters, and with the coming of Martin Luther even abandoning Catholicism. But never quite severing all ties to the parent organization. Similarly the Hospital itself was a semi-independent arm of the Church at Rome. One might conclude, a long-suffering arm of the Church at Rome. The author hopes the reader finds this history as interesting and stimulating as did he.

The british empire comprised a bewildering collection of colonies, dominions, protectorates, and mandated possessions that spanned the planet. This was the largest empire in world history, at its peak ruling over more than 400 million people and covering almost one-quarter of the total land mass of the earth. No wonder it became known as the empire on which the sun never set. How did this happen? How did england, a relatively small country, first come to dominate the neighboring countries of wales, scotland, and ireland and then go on to build this mighty, global empire? This book will guide you through the rise and the fall of the mighty british empire, including: The age of exploration and how britain expanded its empire British involvement in the slave trade The mystery behind the lost colony of roanoke The english civil wars and their impact on the empire A brief look at the thirteen colonies and how they achieved independence A guide to britains role in the napoleonic wars Rising nationalist movements in the 20th century A comprehensive explanation of the fall of the british empire And much, much more! The growing independence movement saw the emergence of one of the most influential and charismatic political leaders ever: mahatma gandhi. His policy of non-violent opposition inspired people across the world and helped to guide india to independence. However, with independence came partition as the british divided the region according to religious and ethnic lines. Instead of a single independent nation, the indian subcontinent became two and then three separate nation-states, something that led to violence and conflicts that persist today.

Uma das mitologias mais estranhas... Perguntas para ferver o cranio de qualquer cidado: 1 - Se o fundo do mar era o inferno, e a Espanha ( eu entendi direito? - sim, entendeu) era a terra dos mortos, para onde iam os homens quando morriam? 2 - Os Sidhs, espaços cavados nas montanhas eram considerados as moradas dos Deuses, sobretudo quando eles começaram a ser vencidos pelos homens, na Irlanda (os homens e os Deuses entraram em guerra na mitologia celta - e os homens venceram). Mas, quando eles passaram a morar nos tais Sidhs, adquiriram um carater mais destacado, vamos dizer mais proximo do que concebemos como divino. Por que? 3 - A mitologia bret e a Irlandesa se misturam, mas no necessariamente se complementam. Alguns Deuses de cada cultura se aproximavam bastante em significados e as vezes em nome, mas no eram os mesmos. Isto se deve a um amalgama da epoca, pela fricço interetnica, ou os Deuses eram semelhantes na origem da cultura celta e ganharam caracteristicas proprias ao longo do desenvolvimento de cada uma daquelas culturas? E de ferver o cranio mesmo! Neste livro voce vai encontrar as respostas e tambem saber TUDO sobre a Mitologia Celta. Sabera ainda quem eram, de fato, os celtas, sua cultura, suas crenças, de onde vieram e os mitos e verdades acerca do terminologia celta .

The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers.Riots and Rebels is an examination of how people have exercised that power in England, Scotland and Wales over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. From the Middle Ages to the present day, Riots and Rebels discusses and highlights how protests have shaped British history and contributed to the struggle for the vote, labour rights, womens rights, trade unions and climate awareness. Without many of these examples of direct action, modern society would look very different.In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza.From the so-called Peasants Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887s Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain. For readers of Unruly by David Mitchell, The Restless Republic by Anna Keay and Revolution by Peter Ackroyd.PRAISE FOR NICK RENNISONEntertaining and thoroughly readable canter through the events of a century ago...

The VE Day book Amol Rajan, Today, Radio 4Although redolent with the scent of bonfires and patterned with the crisscross of bunting, The Peoples Victory does far more than just paint a picture of VE Day; it captures the emotional complexity of a moment that was both an end and a beginning Becky Brown, editor of Blitz SpiritIN 1937, Charles Madge and Tom Harrisson created the social survey organisation Mass Observation to capture the thoughts, feelings and minutiae of individuals across the British Isles. At its height Mass Observation had 1,000 concurrent writers - stretching from Penzance to Aberdeen and including miners, academics and housewives - and collected over 1 million individual diary entries between 1937 and 1960.In The Peoples Victory, historian Lucy Noakes mines the Mass Observation archive to present a groundbreaking history of how Britons at home celebrated and experienced the end of World War II. Alongside street celebrations and tea parties, we find bonfires and bell ringing, water fights and wagon rides, solitary and shared walks - and copious amounts of alcohol. However, as Noakes also reveals, not everyone felt like celebrating that May: many were still waiting for news of family members who had vanished in the fog of war, whilst thousands of British soldiers were still interned in the Far East.By centring the voices, feelings and fears of the public at the heart of the Peoples War, Noakes also traces the hopes and changing attitudes of a nation in flux, revealing how the camaraderie and selflessness of wartime led to the birth of the welfare state.
