Dr. Philip Mansel: Friend or foe? The Ottoman Empire and Europe, from Mehmed II to Wilhelm II
Lecture at the Orient-Institut Istanbul, October 24, 2013
The Ottoman Empire rose with the help of European allies, such as Genoa; it fell partly due to entering the First World War on the side of another ally, Germany. Using pictures and diplomatic documents, Dr Philip Mansel shows how the Ottoman Empire interlocked for more than three centuries with the powers of Europe. It had friendly relations, sometimes confirmed by treaties, with Poland, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, above all France. Beginning in the mid-sixteenth century, the French-Ottoman alliance was one of the few fixed points in European diplomacy. It had long-term commercial, cultural and religious consequences, as the recent exhibition at Versailles on the Treasure of the Holy Sepulchre proved. More seventeenth-century French royal silver, presents from kings Louis XIII and XIV, has been preserved in Jerusalem than in Paris, since it was not melted down in wars or revolutions. From 1799 formal treaties confirmed the Ottoman Empire as part of the Concert of Europe.
Dr Philip Mansel is a historian of France and the Ottoman Empire. His books Sultans in Splendour, a photographic history of monarchs of the Middle East ,Constantinople: city of the World’s desire, andLevant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean have been translated into Turkish. He is editor of The Court Historian, journal of the Society for Court studies, and a Fellow of the Institute of Historical Research, London, and the Royal Historical Society.

Dr. Andrew Peacock: From Wild West to Islambol: The mediaeval transformation of Anatolia
Lecture at the Orient-Institut Istanbul, September 11, 2014
For at least a hundred years after the Turkish conquests in the 11th century, Anatolia was a remote frontier of the Muslim world, lacking most of the attributes of Islamic civilisation – mosques, madrasa, scholars and the accoutrements of urban Muslim life. In this sense it is often called mediaeval Islam’s ‘Wild West’. Yet by the fifteen century, ‘the lands of Rum’ had become a major centre of Islamic intellectual life, a place which not only attracted foreign scholars but also exported considerable numbers of its own learned class to the traditional heartlands of the Islamic, Mecca and Cairo. The lecture explores how this transformation came about. Dr Andrew Peacock is Reader in Middle Eastern Studies at the School of history, University of St Andrews. He is Principal Investigator of the research project, The Islamisation of Anatolia, c. 1100-1500, funded by the European Research Council (grant number 284076).
