16. YÜZYILDA KONVERSO KADIN BİR BANKER: DONA GRACIA NASI MENDES ve OSMANLI DEVLETİ İLE İLİŞKİLERİ

Year 2022, Issue: 22, 39 - 52, 25.01.2022

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı kadın bir banker olarak Dona Gracia Nasi Mendes’in dönemine yaptığı olağanüstü finansal etkiyi ortaya koymaktır. 16. yüzyılın en zengin şirketlerinden biri olan Konverso Banker Mendes Ailesi’nin servetini yöneten Dona Gracia’nın hayatı, betimsel bir yaklaşımla incelenmiştir. Dona Gracia; yönettiği servet büyüdükçe, Yahudiliğinin deşifre edileceğine yönelik tehditlere maruz kalmıştır. Engizisyonun baskı ve zulmünden kaçan banker Portekiz’den sırasıyla; Antwerp’e, Venedik’e, Ferrara’ya, Ragusa’ya ve son olarak Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na sığınmıştır. Dünya finans tarihi açısından elzem öneme sahip Mendes Ailesi kurdukları “Banka Evi” sayesinde finansal sıkıntı yaşayan özel kesim ve krallıklara krediler sağlamıştır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na sığınana dek servetini kaybetme tehlikesi yaşayan Banker Dona Gracia’ya antisemitist batılı devletlerin yaptırımları, tarihte cam tavan sendromunun bir örneği niteliğindedir.
