Abstract

Four peoples, each with its own culture, language and faith, shared a small Mediterranean town and experienced, each in its own way, the upheavals of war, modernity, emigration and occupation. With the German takeover in 1943, the Holocaust in 1944 and the beginning of Greek rule in 1947, this multiethnic world perished forever. At the centre of this book stands the Sephardi community -- Spanish-speaking Jews who arrived in Rhodes sometime after the Spanish expulsion edict of 1492 and who remained the largest single group within the old city walls until Italy adopted German racial legislation in 1938. When sultan Abdulhamit II ascended to the Ottoman throne in 1876, the Jews of Rhodes were among his most loyal and traditional, not to say hidebound, subjects. But within the course of a few decades, this bastion of piety and rabbinical tradition was thoroughly transformed by French rationalism, Italian secularism and the pressures of economic globalisation. Many unlikely characters come alive in this spirited account of the vibrant and irretrievably lost world of Rhodes: The French monks who impart universal values to provincial Turks, Greeks and Jews; the Rhodian schoolboy lost in a Congolese jungle; the Italian general who brings sanitation to the medieval town; the Greek shepherd who knows the history of Rhodes better than any scholar; the Turkish diplomat whose wife was murdered by the Nazis and then risked his life to save Jews from the SS. These are just some of the stories related directly to the author, who combines journalism with scholarship in the recreation of a unique cultural microcosm.

Abstract

Au cours de leur installation à Rhodes pendant environ deux siècles, les Chevaliers Hospitaliers ont superposé une forteresse-monastère à la ville byzantine. La conquête ottomane a entraîné ensuite dans la ville un processus d’islamisation qui s’est traduit par une large réutilisation du bâti existant. Les modalités de ces opérations demeurent peu connues. Cet ouvrage propose un voyage dans l’histoire de Rhodes entre le Moyen Âge et le début de l’époque moderne, afin de retracer les phases de son accroissement urbain et les interactions entre l’architecture religieuse et la forma urbis. Cette étude s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse spatiale et morphologique, qui a une partie importante dans les études d’archéologie urbaine, ainsi que sur un corpus de sources variées : les manuscrits de l’Ordre, les récits de voyage, l’iconographie et les données archéologiques. Une partie de l’ouvrage est consacrée enfin au recensement et à une analyse comparative des églises et des mosquées urbaines : bien que souvent limitée à une dimension régionale, la production architecturale et artistique à Rhodes est étroitement liée à des réalisations plus prestigieuses d’inspiration byzantine et gothique, ainsi que du monde ottoman. Dans un contexte actuel où l’urbanisation contemporaine côtoie tant le patrimoine bâti le plus connu que les vestiges archéologiques mineurs, Rhodes s’avère être un véritable « laboratoire urbain » dont l’histoire demeure un champ en construction.

Abstract

Guillaume Caoursin, the Vice-chancellor of the Order of the Hospital, wrote the Obsidionis Rhodiae urbis descriptio (Description of the Siege of Rhodes) as the official record of the Ottoman siege of the Knights in Rhodes in 1480. The Descriptio was the first authorized account of the Order's activities to appear in printed form, and it became one of the best sellers of the 15th century. The publication of the Descriptio not only fed Western Europe's hunger for news about an important Christian victory in the ongoing war with the Turks, it also served to shape public perceptions of the Hospit

Abstract

"In 1912, Italy occupied Rhodes, an Ottoman town inhabited by Greek Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, and Catholics. Rhodes became a territory of Italy’s empire in 1923 following the Treaty of Lausanne, only one year after Mussolini seized power in Rome. The Ottoman demise corresponded to the expansion of Fascist imperialism in the Mediterranean. Both the Ottoman Young Turks and Italian colonial governors invoked the role of a “new generation” of youth in imperial rule. Generations of Empire investigates the relationship between state and society in light of successive transformations of imperial rule, rethinking Italian colonialism as post-Ottoman history. Andreas Guidi explores how communal life on Rhodes and other islands of the Southern Aegean were affected by the islands’ transition between these regimes, from Muslim empire to military occupation to fascist annexation. Based on archival sources in five languages from seven countries, the book investigates generational dynamics in the domains of political activism, the family, education, work and leisure, and mobility. Generations of Empire offers a vivid picture of how a local society navigated large-scale social and political transformations in the modern Mediterranean."--
