Aristotelianism and the disintegration of the late antique theological discourse
(Ashgate Publishing Ltd, 2013) Krausmüller Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
One of the most striking characteristics of early Christianity was the willingness despite occasional misgivings to engage with Greek philosophy. From the second century onwards Christian writers borrowed terms and concepts from the different philosophical schools in order to formulate their understanding of the Christian God and his relation to Jesus Christ. Following the groundbreaking work of Origen, this engagement reached new levels of depth and sophistication in the controversies of the fourth century. It was in the course of these controversies that the three Cappadocians, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa developed a radically new conceptual framework, which distinguished between one divine substance or nature and the three hypostases or persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and which associated the former with a set of common qualities such as ‘incorporeality’ and the latter with specific properties such as ‘begotten’ in the case of the Son. This model is evidently influenced by the contemporary philosophical discourse but it has proved difficult to identify its exact antecedents. In the last 50 years scholars have attempted to make the case for Aristotelian, Neoplatonic or Stoic provenance but none of these hypotheses has found universal acceptance.

At the resurrection we will not recognise one another': Radical devaluation of social relations in the lost model of anastasius' and pseudo-athanasius' questions and answers
(2013) Krausmüller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
The three centuries between 550 and 850 witnessed a debate about the state of human beings after the resurrection. The author of a now lost collection of Questions and Answers asserted that all resurrected would look like Christ in his thirtieth year and who made the further claim that without distinguishing characteristics it would be impossible for the resurrected to recognise people whom they had known during their earthly lives. This article reconstructs the debate surrounding this theory and identifies the factors that led to its emergence. © 2013 by Byzantion. All rights reserved.

Between Tritheism and Sabellianism: Trinitarian Speculation in John Italos' and Nicetas Stethatos' Confessions of Faith
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2016) Krausmüller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This article focuses on two confessions of faith, which were composed in the late eleventh century by the philosopher John Italos and by the monk Nicetas Stethatos. In-depth analysis of selected passages shows that the two men subscribed to a Trinitarian theology that could be considered heretical. They denied the existence of a common divine substance that could safeguard the oneness of God and instead emphasised the closeness of the hypostases to each other, which made it impossible for them to accord to the hypostases the distinguishing function that the Cappadocians had given them. Thus it can be argued that it was their Tritheism that pushed them towards a 'Sabellian' solution. © 2016 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.

Biography as allegory

Through comparison with Dante's Divine Comedy and with Late Antique allegorical interpretations of the Bible this article makes the case that Byzantine hagiographers encoded an allegorical dimension into their texts and that they did so in order to make value judgements that complement explicit evaluations of the behaviour of saints.

Christian Platonism and the Debate about Afterlife: John of Scythopolis and Maximus the Confessor on the Inactivity of the Disembodied Soul
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015) Krausmuller D.; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
In the sixth and seventh centuries the belief in an active afterlife and its corollaries, the cult of the saints and the care of the dead, came under attack by a group of people who claimed that the souls could not function without their bodies. Some defenders of the traditional point of view sought to rebut this argument through recourse to the Platonic concept of the self-moved soul, which is not in need of the body. However, the fit between Platonism and traditional notions of the afterlife was not as complete as might first be thought. This article focuses on two Christian thinkers, John of Scythopolis and Maximus the Confessor, who were deeply influenced by Platonic ideas. In his Scholia on the writings of Pseudo-Dionysius John states clearly that after death the souls of ordinary human beings are inactive whereas the souls of the spiritual elite have entered the realm of eternal realities, which is entirely separate from this world. The case of Maximus is more complex. One of his letters is a spirited defence of the posthumous activity of the soul. However, in his spiritual writings he outlines a conceptual framework that shows a marked resemblance to the position of John of Scythopolis. © 2015 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.
The Conflict of Balances in the Mediterranean Region and Its Repercussions on the Map of the Ottoman-European Conflict in North Africa in the 19th Century
(Creative Publishing House, 2025) Şerifoğlu, M.; Meshref, A.; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This paper explores the imperialist expansion in the Mediterranean basin and its influence on the Ottoman-European conflict map in North Africa during the 19th century. This era marked significant Western imperialist growth across the Mediterranean and Ottoman territories. North Africa became a key battleground where the Ottoman Empire clashed with European powers competing for colonies in the region. Following the Berlin Conference of 1878, the Ottoman Empire recognized the strategic importance of North Africa in resisting European colonial ambitions, particularly their efforts to access Central Africa's resources by exploiting Ottoman territories. European nations, while united in their imperialist goals, competed fiercely due to divergent interests, leading to international conflicts and shifts in regional balances. This research aims to analyze the nature and background of imperialist expansion in the Medi terranean and its implications for the Ottoman-European conflict. Using a methodology combining deconstruction, historical analysis, and comparative studies, the research draws on Ottoman documents, newspapers, and a range of Turkish, Arab, and Western sources for an objective examination. The findings highlight two key conclusions: first, the imperialist expansion in the Mediterranean was deeply rooted in crusading colonial motives aimed at controlling global resources; second, North Africa played a pivotal role in shaping regional and international dynamics in the late 19th century. © 2025, J.

Contextualizing Constantine V's radical religious policies: the debate about the intercession of the saints and the 'sleep of the soul' in the Chalcedonian and Nestorian churches
(MANEY PUBLISHING, 2015) Krausmueller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This article argues that in the last years of his reign Constantine V came to reject the intercession of saints, despite the fact that the Council of Hieria, which he himself had convened only a decade earlier, had explicitly anathematised those who held such a view. Moreover, it makes the case that the emperor participated in a broad religious discourse that began in the sixth century and continued into the ninth century, both among the Chalcedonians of Byzantium and the Levant and among the Nestorians of the East.

The educational experiences of Syrian women in countries of safety/asylum
(Elsevier, 2022) Ibesh, Rasem; Ahmad, Wael; Chikhou, Rachid; Jumah, Razan; Sankar, Hayat; Thurston, Allen; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
The Syrian crisis has resulted in a large refugee movement of Syrian citizens from inside Syria, to countries of safety/asylum, notably Turkey. It is estimated that there are approximately 1.7 million Syrian women refugees in Turkey. This research uses Freire's framing of oppressors and facilitators in education to looks at how the war has impacted on the education of women their country of safety/asylum. Interviews were conducted with 24 refugee women, and the findings presented to a user focus group of Syrian refugee women. Findings indicate that language and finance are key barriers to women fulfilling their educational potential. Changes in the roles of women in countries of safety/asylum are key opportunities that could be exploited by women. Findings also indicated that non-government organisations must co-design educational provision with refugees in order to ensure that opportunities are maximised.

The Flesh Cannot See the Word: 'Nestorianising' Chalcedonians in the Seventh to Ninth Centuries AD
(BRILL ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS, 2013) Krausmueller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Towards the end of the eighth century the Nestorian Patriarch Timothy convened a council, which condemned several mystics for having held the belief that Christ's humanity could see his divinity. This article draws attention to a Chalcedonian sermon on the Annunciation whose author shared Patriarch Timothy's views. Through comparison with the Questions and Answers of Pseudo-Athanasius and with Theodore of Stoudios' sermon on the Angels it shows that the author of the sermon on the Annunciation participated in a wider Chalcedonian debate about the ability of human beings to see God and the equally invisible angels and souls. Having presented the evidence it makes the case that as regards this topic the Eastern Christian religious discourse had not yet fragmented along sectarian and political boundaries and that throughout the East Christians were experiencing the same anxieties and responding to them in remarkably similar ways.

From ‘brothers in religion’ to ‘bandits’: Chechens in Mardin in the late Ottoman period
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2021) Yelbaşı, Caner; Akman, Ekrem; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This article analyses the mass migration of Chechens to the Ottoman Empire between the mid-1860s and the 1900s. The Russian expansion to the North Caucasus transformed the entire region surrounding the Black Sea, including its demography, governance and politics. This expansion took place in several phases. The first resulted in a major mass migration by several North Caucasian groups, who abandoned the region in response to the increasing presence of Russian military personnel. During the second stage, the exodus of these groups accelerated because of massacres committed by the Russian military in an attempt to take complete control. Many North Caucasians were exiled to Ottoman lands, arriving en masse, either on foot, or by sailing across the Black Sea. This article argues that the Ottoman state lacked a well-functioning settlement policy regarding the incoming North Caucasians. The Ottomans aimed to accommodate the refugees by deploying the frame of viewing them as ‘brothers in religion‘, but this resulted in a number of issues, in particular due to existing problems concerning the ‘state's Tanzimat‘ order, along with the collection of taxes and conflict with Bedouin tribes in the Mardin region. This article examines this phenomenon by means of a study of the ‘Chechens' journey‘ to the Ottoman Empire, focusing specifically on a subgroup of Chechens, who were settled in the Mardin region. Through the use of a considerable array of archival resources, the article seeks to firstly, trace the route taken by the Chechen group to Mardin and secondly, to clarify their transformation from being considered ‘brothers in religion’ by the Ottomans to regional bandits.

Hiding in plain sight: Heterodox trinitarian speculation in the writings of niketas stethatos
(Sankt-Peterburgskoe Obshchestvo Vizantino-Slavyanskih Issledovanii, 2013) Krausmüller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This article makes the case that Niketas Stethatos, and Symeon the New Theologian before him, constructed an alternative Trinity where the divine nature, now called Spirit, becomes the "father" of a "son" and where this "son" in turn becomes the "father" of another "son." This model is set out in exposés of the Imago Trinitatis where the human image, which is defined as a nature, the soul, with two faculties, the mind and its off- spring, the word, serves as a starting-point for a reorganisation of the divine archetype, which when considered in isolation seems to be entirely orthodox.
İtaat, İtikat ve Askerlik Üçgeninde Osmanlı’da Devlet-Yezidi İlişkileri
(Hitit İlahiyat Dergisi, 2021) Akman, Ekrem; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Yazidis or Ezidis are a Kurdish speaking religion group, living in the Sheyhan and Sinjar region around Mosul as well as rural areas of Diyarbakir, Urfa and Mardin. Yazidism is an ethno-religious faith, which is specific to certain families and in which any person out of this belief is not accepted. There are still unresolved debates about when and by whom Yazidism was founded, its origin, and basic belief figures. Islamic scholars argue that the Yezidism was founded by the community known as Adeviye Sect, maintained by the followers of Adi. b. Musafir,(555/1160) a Sunni sufi, after his death but then deviated from the belief of Islam in time and became an aberrant religion. Some also claim that this belief has survived as a remnant of Iranian religions such as Zarathustra, Mani and Mithraism (Mihrperest). The Ottoman Empire, occupied the surrounding of Mosul and Diyarbekir in 1514, started to have relationships with the Yazidis. Following this date, the state-Yezidi relationships in the Ottoman Empire regarding obedience, belief and military started. When the Yazidis followed the rules specified by the state, they were granted agricultural lands and areas, and they were accepted to be citizens. However, when they did not obey and revolted, they were accused of being disbeliever, not performing prayers and being aberrant, for this reason, they were punished. In this regard, the attitude of the state towards heterodox groups was determined not by religion and belief, but rather by sovereignty and obedience in the classical period of the Ottoman Empire. With the period of Tanzimat, the state-Yazidi relationships, which was centered on obedience, was first transformed into "Ottomanism", in which all citizens were accepted equal based on belief and military, and then Pan Islamism. Yazidi clergymen and leading figures refused to join the military by urging that their religion did not allow this. Faith and belief were at that time essential for the Ottoman Empire-Yazidi relationships, which was previously based on obedience and revolt. A number of projects were performed for communities and groups which were wanted to be included in the Pan-Islamism and prevent them from being targeted by foreign interventions. In this respect, in addition to the activities of heyet-i tefhimiye, firka-i islahiye, irsad committees, religious education, school and mosque construction activities were initiated. The offer of the Yazidis to solve military problems by paying a certain amount of money like Christians and Jews was not accepted by the state. After the second constitutional era, the demands of the Yazidis regarding a treatment such as exemption from military service in return for jizya or paid military service as a separate religion like Christians and Jews began to be discussed among the Ottoman bureaucrats and administrators. They stated that the group declaring themselves as Yezidi and believing in this respect had to be accepted as Yazidi in accordance with religious and sect freedom, the State had to recognize the religion of the Yazidis and their spiritual leaders had to benefit from the laws applicable for the spiritual leaders of non-Muslim groups. In this article, it is sought to answer the belief problems of the Yazidis and the question of whether the factor of obedience or belief were more determinant in Ottoman-Yazidi relationships. In this research it is claimed that in the classical period when the Ottoman Empire was powerful, its attitude towards the peripheral belief groups and communities was determined by obedience, not by religion and belief. After the Tanzimat, when the external pressures were dominant, these groups were tried to be included in the center by correcting their beliefs by means of military services. This article is divided into three parts: In the first part, the founder and naming of the Yazidi belief, which constitute the main problem of their history, will be examined. In this context, this section will discuss their relations with Satan and Yazid figures, which they define with a different physiognomy. The second part will analyse the Ottoman-Yazidi encounter in the classical period. The third part will focus on military service, which became the main problem in the state-Yezidi relations after the Tanzimat era. The contradictions in the beliefs of the Yazidis also an important part of this article. Therefore, the muhimme defters and the other archive documents were also used in this study to understand the Ottoman Empire's approach to Yazidis and the other-similar heretic groups in the classical and the Tanzimat period. This article will fill an important gap by comparing the functioning of the Ottoman state mechanism in the classical and Tanzimat era.

John of phoberos, a 12th-century monastic founder, and his saints: Luke of mesembria and symeon of the wondrous mountain
(Societe des Bollandistes, 2016) Krausmüller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Le moine Jean, abbé du monastère de Phoberos et auteur d’une règle monastique, tenait deux saints en haute estime, à savoir son prédécesseur Luc de Messembria et le stylite et abbé Syméon le Jeune (VIe s.). Si son rapport avec Luc peut se comprendre aisément, la vénération de Jean pour Syméon est, quant à elle, plus surprenante. Elle s’explique probablement par les activités littéraires des moines de la Sainte-Montagne, près d’Antioche, qui firent tout pour promouvoir leur saint patron.
Justifications for the Spanish Invasion of North Africa (16th Century)

The process called Reconquista (Reconquest) in history of Spain succeeded with the occupation of Granada (1492). In order to prevent its lands from becoming "Andalusia" again, the Spanish government established the country's lines of defense outside the country in North Africa. Considering religious, commercial, political and military reasons a limited occupation policy was implemented in North Africa. Places on strategic North African coasts such as Ceuta, Melilla, Oran and Merselkebir were occupied, and military garrisons (Presedios/Plazas) were established here. With the help of these garrisons, the Spain's Mediterranean and Atlantic trade has been secured for decades.

Liturgical innovation in 11th- and 12th-century constantinople: Hours and inter-hours in the evergetis Typikon, its 'daughters' and its 'Grand-Daughters'
(2013) Krausmüller, Dirk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
From the middle of the 11th century onwards the adoption of a new liturgical element, the inter-hours, and the communal performance of both hours and inter-hours on all days of the year were promoted as the hallmarks of monastic reform. The abbots of Evergetis monastery resisted this trend, most probably because they wished to leave space for individual expressions of worship. However, the pull of the reform discourse made it difficult to maintain such a position. This can be seen from the later adaptations of the Evergetis Typikon, which modify the text of their model by adding stipulations about communal performance of the hours and in most cases also of the inter-hours. Study of these adaptations further reveals that the Philanthropos Typikon was an adaptation of the Evergetis Typikon and in turn served as the model for the later rules of Kecharitomene and Machairas.

Making the Most of Mary: the Cult of the Virgin in the Chalkoprateia From Late Antiquity To the Tenth Century
(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Krausmüller, D.; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
The pivotal role that the Byzantine belief system accorded to the Mother of God found its expression not only in private devotion but also in public celebrations. The development of these celebrations from late antiquity into the Middle Byzantine period has been the subject of several studies by Jugie, Wenger and Kishpaug.1 However, these authors were primarily interested in establishing pedigrees for contemporary Catholic feasts and paid little attention to the specific social contexts in which their development took place. In this chapter I attempt to fill this gap by focusing on the Constantinopolitan church of Mary in the Chalkoprateia and on the patriarchal clergy that administered it. Through analysis of liturgical, homiletic and hymnographical sources I seek to demonstrate that members of this clergy invented and propagated new celebrations as a means to establish their church as the foremost Marian shrine in the capital against its main rival, the Church of Mary in the Blachernai. © 2011 Leslie Brubaker and Mary B.

MİSTİK VE İDEOLOJİK SÖYLEM BAĞLAMINDA BABA İSHÂK VE MAHMUD TARABÎ İSYANLARININ MÜŞTEREK ZEMİNİ
(Türk Kültürü ve Hacı Bektaş Veli Araştırma Dergisi, 2022) Selçukoğlu, Ahmet; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
7./13. asır başlarından itibaren Moğol istilasının oluşturduğu panik ve anarşi ortamı, İslam dünyasında onlara karşı koyacak bir “kurtarıcı” bekleme düşüncesini kuvvetlendirmiş, bu çerçevede peygamber ve mehdi figürlü bazı ayaklanma hadiseleri vuku bulmuştur. Bu tür isyanlara iştirak eden ve dönem itibariyla İslamiyet’in kitabî esaslarını kavrama konusunda isteksiz görünen göçebe Türkler, farklı coğrafyalarda eş zamanlı olarak meydana gelen Baba İshâk ve Mahmud Tarabî isyanlarına da kitlesel bir teveccüh göstermişlerdir. Türklerin katılımıyla bastırılması güç bir boyuta evrilen bu isyanlar, resmî ideoloji ile göçebe kitleler arasında zihinsel ve duygusal uçurumların oluşmasına, derviş dindarlığı ile medrese skolastiği arasındaki rekabet ve çekişmenin daha da derinleşmesine sebep olmuştur. Her iki isyandaki ortak söylemler, aslında önceki dönemlerde Türklerin iştirak ettiği dini karakterli isyanlarla benzeşir. Bâbek elHürremî ve Mukanna el-Horasanî isyanları buna verilecek en önemli iki örnektir. Bu toplumsal hadiselerin hemen hepsinde isyanın liderleri şahsında ulûhiyet ve peygamberlik figürleri ile tezyin edilen bir Müslüman Şaman karakteri kendini göstermiş ve her biri, bir önceki neslin belleğinin sonraki nesle aktarılmasının bir tezahürü şeklinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Gerek Tarabî gerekse Babaî isyanında aynı argümanların kullanılmış olması dikkat çekicidir. İsyanların birbirine yakın kronolojisi, ortak söylemleri ve birbiriyle önemli ölçüde benzeşen lider portresi, her iki hareketin aynı sözlü bellekten beslendiğine işaret etmektedir. Her ne kadar ayaklanmaların ayırt edici özellikleri hakkında çok az şey bilinse de resmî ideolojinin savunucuları olan dönemin müellifleri eliyle tutulan kayıtlarda gerek Mahmud Tarabî gerekse Baba İshak birer sahtekâr, onlara uyanlar da cahil güruhlar olarak tasvir edilir. Bu makalede, Orta Çağ’da aynı tarihte farklı coğrafyalarda meydana gelmiş bulunan dini nitelikli iki isyanın karşılaştırmalı analizi yapılarak her ikisinin beslendiği müşterek bellek ve söylemler ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.

Multiple Hierarchies: Servants and Masters, Monastic Officers, Ordained Monks, and Wearers of the Great and the Small Habit at the Stoudios Monastery (10th – 11th Centuries)
(Slovansky Ustav AV CR, 2016) Krausmüller, D.; Krausmüller, Dırk; 02.14. Department of History / Tarih Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This article analyses the Stoudios Typikon, a monastic rule from the late tenth century. The original is lost but the rule can be reconstructed through comparison of later adaptations. Analysis of the text shows there were three hierarchies within the community of Stoudios: the monastic officials responsible for the administration of the monastery under the oikonomos, the priests and deacons under the protopresbyteros, and the wearers of the great and small habit. The three hierarchies were distinct, but efforts were made to harmonise them to minimise con? ict. Most of the monastic officials seem to have been deacons, and no monk could be ordained priest or deacon if he had not previously been clad in the great habit. The Stoudios Typikon emphasises the role of ordained monks. Only priests were allowed to give blessings. Even the oikonomos had to rely on their services if he was a layman. Moreover, in the church, and possibly also in the refectory, the order of precedence followed the ecclesiastical hierarchy and not the hierarchy of the monastic offices, with the sole exception of the oikonomos. Other Stoudite sources suggest that the stipulations of the Stoudios Typikon were never fully implemented. However, there can be little doubt that these stipulations reflected the views of the ordained members of the community. The latter are also the most likely authors of the text. © 2016, Slovansky Ustav AV CR. All rights reserved.
