Osmanlı Ve Safevî Elçilerinin Venedik'te Kabul Törenleri Karşılaştırmalı Perspektifte

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Venedik Devlet Arşivi'nde bulunan belgeler ışığında Osmanlı ve Safevî elçilerinin Venedik'te kabul törenleri ve ağırlanması konusunu karşılaştırmalı bir perspektifte incelemektir. Hem Osmanlı hem de Safevî elçileri Venedik'te genellikle iyi bir şekilde karşılanırlardı. Ancak Venedik misafirperverliğinin derecesi değişime tabi olup, gelen misyonun önemine ve Osmanlılar ve Safevîler ile ilişkilerinin genel karakterine uygun olarak değişiyordu. Venedik'te Osmanlı ve Safevî elçilerinin kabul merasimlerinden on altıncı yüzyılda ve on yedinci yüzyılın başlarında Padişahın elçilerinin Kızılbaş temsilcileri ile eşit veya çoğunlukla daha üst seviyede karşılandıkları ve ağırlandıkları anlaşılmaktadır. 1600 yılındaki Safevî elçisi Esad bey örneğinde görüldüğü gibi, Venedik hükümeti Safevi temsilcilerine yaptığı muamelede Osmanlıları kendilerine karşı kışkırtmamak için ihtiyatlı bir politika izliyordu. Ayrıca Osmanlı faktörünün Safevîlerin Venedik Cumhuriyeti ile ilişkilerinin genel karakteri ve dinamikleri üzerinde kalıcı etkisi olmuştur

Venice’s Ceremonial Treatment of the Ottoman and Safavid Envoys in Comparative Perspective

Abstract

Taking a comparative perspective and drawing on the documents from the Venetian State Archives, the paper attempts to examine a ceremonial treatment of the Ottoman and Safavid diplomats in Venice. Both the Ottoman and Safavid envoys usually were graciously received in Venice. However, the degree of the Venetian hospitality was subject to changes and varied in accordance to the importance of the incoming mission and overall nature of its relations with the Ottomans and Safavids. It appears from the receptions of the Ottoman and Safavid diplomats in Venice that during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the ceremonial positions of the sultan’s envoys were equal or mostly above that of the Qızılbaş representatives. As it is evident from the Safavid Asad bey’s case in 1600, in its treatment of the Safavid envoys, Venetian government pursued a cautious policy and tried not to antagonize the Ottomans. Furthermore, the Ottoman factor had enduring impact both on the nature and on the dynamics of the Safavid-Venetian relations
