An Epistemological Outlook to Turkish Image in British and Italian Records, Psalters and Travel Works during the Renaissance Era

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the Turkish images through British and Italian Records, Psalters, and Travel works during the Renaissance era. Because British students went to Italy in order to broaden their knowledge of arts, and to quicken their mind, Italian Works attach a great importance to this article. During this time the territorial expansion of the Ottomans to Europe began and there was a mounting awe of the Ottomans who had national pride, and patriotism. The unprecedented glory of the Ottomans was thought to be devastating by Europeans. Some population of Europe perished within months, and untended areas, abandoned children, and even many villages depopulated took place. This accelerated the power of the Turks, and the epithets, “lion of power”, “violent”, “heathen”, and “inevitable warriors” were accorded to the Ottomans. The English were familiar with the Ottomans through travel works, and invasions, and the Turks had the elements of bewilderment, fear, restlessness, revolt of Islam and threat for Christianity by the route control of the world trade, and conquests of the Ottomans.

Rönesans Dönemi İngiliz ve İtalyan Kayıt, Dua ve Seyahatnamelerinde Türk İmajına Epistemolojik Bakış

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Britanya ve İtalyan kayıtları, dua kitapları ve seyahatnameler yoluyla Rönesans Dönemi Türk imajını incelemektir. Sanat bilgilerini arttırmak ve akıllarını geliştirmek için Britanyalı öğrenciler, İtalya’ya gittiğinden, bu makale için İtalyan yapıtları büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu zaman diliminde Avrupa’ya olan bölgesel Osmanlı istilâları başlamıştır ve milli gurur ve vatanseverlik duygularına sahip Osmanlılara karşı, gittikçe artan bir korku vardır. Avrupalılar tarafından, Osmanlıların eşsiz yüceliği tahrip edici olarak görüşmüştür. Aylar içinde Avrupa’nın bazı nüfusları yitirilmiş ve bakımsız alanlar, terkedilmiş çocuklar ve nüfusları azalmış birçok kasabalar yer almıştır. Bu Türklerin gücünü arttırdı ve “güç temsili aslan”, “dehşet verici”, “kâfir” ve “kaçınılmaz savaşçılar” gibi lakaplar, Osmanlılar için uygun bulundu. İngilizler Osmanlılara seyahatnameler, istilâlar yoluyla aşina oldular ve Türkler, ticari dünya rota kontrolü ve fetihlerle, şaşkınlık, korku, tedirginlik, İslamın karşı çıkışı ve Hristiyanlığa tehdit unsuru içerdiler.
