Abstract

The residence of the Georgian Catholics in Istanbul, the Monastery of the Virgin Mary (turkish: Gürcü Katolik Kilisesi), with its schools, printing house and rich library used to fulfill a great Georgian cultural, educational and scientific function outside of Georgia for more than a century.
The temple was built in 1861 by Father Petre Kharischirashvili in one of the most beautiful districts of Istanbul, Ferikoy (the village of Angels). It is noteworthy, that the most of the fathers serving in the Georgian Monastery of Istanbul were from Samtskhe-Javakheti by origin. Father Petre Tatalashvili was from Samtskhe as well.
During the hundred years (1861-1961) of its existence, Georgian Catholic Monastery of Istanbul acted as a spiritual, cultural, educational and scientific center where many national, educational or scientific activities were performed. Establishment of religious educational institution, Georgian-French schools, printing-houses, the literacy dissemination society among Georgians living in Turkey, library called after Akaki Tsereteli are good examples of cultural and educational activities of the Monastery. The Monastery was the educational center giving Georgian young people the opportunity to get education first in Istanbul and then to Europe. It supported many Georgian scientists and public figures, like Ivane Gvaramadze, Mikheil Tamarashvili, Shalva Vardidze, etc.
The goal of the article is to describe the work of the father Petre Tatalashvili, one of the valuable figures, a secretary of a monastery and the responsible person for the educational processes, later on the last Prior of the Georgian monastery in Istanbul. Accordingly, it aims to introduce him to a broader society based on the preserved notes kept in family and other funds or archives, which have not been used by the scientists widely. We consider, that he deserves to be known by the Georgian society due to his deeds, as he faithfully served to education and cultural advancement of Georgian people for entire his life, under the foreign sky, in the foreign country. He was the defender, the patron, the spiritual confessor of Georgian Catholics.
The research methodology: The research is based on the historical research method: description, comparative-historical method, empirical, causal-historical analysis based on the epistolary and memoir materials preserved in the archive fund of Istanbul Georgian Catholic Monastery

ОТЕЦ ПЕТРЕ ТАТАЛАШВИЛИ – ПОСЛЕДНИЙ НАСТОЯТЕЛЬ ГРУЗИНСКОГО МОНАСТЫРЯ В СТАМБУЛЕ

Year 2023, Issue: 58, 41 - 48, 27.06.2023
https://doi.org/10.17498/kdeniz.1304312

Abstract

На протяжении всего века Грузинский католический монастырь имени Святой Богородицы Марии в Стамбуле, со своими школами, типографией и богатой библиотекой выполнял культурно-просветительскую и научную функцию за пределами Грузии и служил великому грузинскому делу.
Храм при монсатыре был построен в 1861 году отцом Петре Харисчирапашвили в одном из красивейших районов Стамбула Ферикой (Деревня Ангелов). Следует также отметить, что большинство отцов, служащих в грузинском монастыре Стамбула, были родом из Самцхе-Джавахети. Отец Петре Таталашвили тоже был из Самцхе.
Грузинский католический монастырь Стамбула за сто лет своего существования (1861-1961) был религиозным, культурным, просветительским и научным центром, где проводился ряд национальных, просветительских и научных мероприятий. Основание духовной школы, грузинско-французских школ, типографии, общества распространения грамотности среди османских грузин, библиотеки имени Акакия Церетели свидетельствует о культурно-просветительской деятельности монастыря. Именно монсатырь стал в то время центром образования грузинских католиков, что открыло путь грузинской молодежи к получению образования сначала в Стамбуле, а затем и в Европе. Именно благодаря монастырю здесь были воспитаны выдающиеся грузинские учёные и общественные деятели, как Иване Гварамадзе, Михаил Тамарашвили, Михаил Тархнишвили, Шалва Вардизе и другие.
Цель статьи: описать деятельность одного из достойных деятелей грузинского монастыря Стамбула, его секретаря и ответственного за воспитательные процессы. А в последствии и последнего настоятеля - отца Петре Таталашвили, и соответственно, представить его широкой публике по семейным записям, сохранившимся у его потомков и в различных фондах и архивах, не нашедших широкого распространения в научной среде до сих пор. Мы считаем, что отец Петре Таталашвили своим вкладом заслуживает признания грузинское общества. Потому что всю свою жизнь под чужим небом, в чужой стране он верно служил родине, просвещению и культурному прогрессу грузинского народа. За пределами Грузии он был защитником и сторонником грузинского католицизма, его духовным учителем.
Методология исследования: Исследование в основном основано на историческом методе исследования: описание, сравнительно-исторический метод, эмпирический, причино-исторический анализ с использованием эпистолярных и мемуарных материалов, хранящихся в архивном фонде Грузинского католического монастыря в Стамбуле.

İSTANBUL GÜRCÜ KİLİSESİNİN SON RUHANİ LİDERİ PAPAZ PETRE TATALAŞVİLİ

Year 2023, Issue: 58, 41 - 48, 27.06.2023
https://doi.org/10.17498/kdeniz.1304312

Abstract

İstanbul Meryem Ana adına Gürcü Katolik Kilisesi, Gürcistan dışındaki Gürcü manastırları arasında seçkin dini ve kültürel-eğitim ve Kartveloloji araştırmalarının merkezlerinden birini temsil etmektedir.
Tapınak, 1861 yılında Peder Petre Kharisçirapaşvili tarafından İstanbul'un en güzel semtlerinden biri olan Periköyü'nde inşa edilmiştir. İstanbul'un Gürcü Katolik Kilisesi’nde faaliyet gösteren din adamlarının çoğunluğunun Samtskhe-Cavakheti'den olduğunu da belirtmek gerekir. Papaz Petre Tatalaşvili de Samtskhe'lidir. Yüz yıllık varlığı boyunca (1861-1961), kilise bir dizi ulusal, eğitimsel ve bilimsel etkinliğin gerçekleştirildiği bir dini, kültürel, eğitimsel ve bilim merkeziydi.
İlahiyat okulu, Gürcü-Fransız okulları, matbaa, Osmanlı vatandaşı olan Gürcüler arasında okuma-yazmayı yayma cemiyeti ve Akaki Tsereteli adına kütüphane kurulması, söz konusu kilisenin kültür ve eğitim faaliyetinin kanıtıdır. O dönemde Gürcü Katoliklerin eğitim merkezi haline gelen kilise, genç Gürcülerin önce İstanbul'da sonra da Avrupa'da eğitim almalarının önünü açmıştır.
Amaç: İstanbul'daki Gürcü Kilisesi'nin değerli simalarından, manastırın yazı işleri müdürü ve eğitim süreçlerinden sorumlu kişi ve son başrahip olan Papaz Petre Tatalaşvili'nin şimdiye kadar bilim camiası tarafından bilinmeyen faaliyetlerini, ailesinde ve çeşitli vakıf ve arşivlerde muhafaza edilen belgelere göre değerlendirmektir.
Tüm hayatı boyunca yabancı bir ülkede Gürcü halkının eğitimine ve kültürel gelişimine sadakatle hizmet eden Papaz Petre Tatalaşvili'nin katkılarının Gürcü toplumu tarafından bilinmesini hak ettiğini düşünüyoruz. Kendisi Gürcistan sınırları dışında, Gürcü Katoliklerinin ruhani babası ve Gürcü Katolikliğinin savunucusu ve destekçisiydi.
Araştırma metodolojisi: Araştırma, İstanbul'daki Gürcü Katolik Manastırı'nın arşivinde muhafaza edilen mektup ve anı materyallerini kullanarak betimleme, karşılaştırmalı-tarihsel yöntem, ampirik, nedensel-tarihsel analize ve ağırlıklı olarak tarihsel araştırma yöntemine dayanmaktadır.
