Trans-imperial Armenian Mobility and the Rise of Ottoman Tokat

该项目以托卡特（亚美尼亚人的托卡特埃沃多基亚）为例，考察了17和18世纪安纳托利亚亚美尼亚人的流动性和文化，托卡特埃沃多基亚是安纳托利亚亚美尼亚人的早期现代经济和文化中心。虽然对波兰-立陶宛（Lwów-Lviv、Kamieniec、Zamość）、克里米亚、波斯萨法维帝国（伊斯法罕的新朱尔法）和君士坦丁堡的亚美尼亚人的近代早期历史进行了更彻底的研究，但这并不适用于安纳托利亚。在萨法维-奥斯曼战争的背景下，托卡特成为亚美尼亚人的中心，自16世纪后期以来，许多来自东部战区的居民逃到托卡特的安全地带，并在那里建立了一个经济和文化中心，在伊斯法罕、亚美尼亚的精神中心和波兰和摩尔多瓦的亚美尼亚社区之间起了中介作用。波斯文化和中欧神学因此被独立地传播和进一步加工，因为托卡特成为跨奥斯曼文化转移的中心。从历史学的角度来看，这个时代对亚美尼亚人的研究总是被中世纪的亚美尼亚王国和现代的史前史和亚美尼亚种族灭绝的历史所掩盖。因此，现代早期亚美尼亚社区的安纳托利亚历史几乎没有人研究，重新评估它是一个重要的迫切需要。该项目基于分散的来源和托卡特历史的大量副本，以当代和后来的方式复制，因为当地材料在19世纪末和20世纪的暴力历史中没有幸存下来。托卡特可以被看作是其他安纳托利亚城市的亚美尼亚团体和网络，这肯定是奥斯曼和跨奥斯曼历史的一部分的一个例子。在方法上，人口学数据和传记的经济活动家，作家，翻译和神职人员从托卡特将进行分析;这些主要是在行动者网络理论的帮助下处理。据推测，跨奥斯曼帝国的经济和文化网络是重叠的，而且在萨非帝国和波兰-立陶宛的网络中都有活跃的参与者（见Hakob Tokhattsi的传记）。

The project examines the mobility and culture of the Anatolian Armenians in the 17th and 18th centuries using the example of the city of Tokat (armenian Եւդոկիա Ewdokia), an early modern economic and cultural center of the Armenians in Anatolia. While the Early Modern History of the Armenians in Poland-Lithuania (Lwów-Lviv, Kamieniec, Zamość), in the Crimea, in the Persian Safavid Empire (New-Julfa in Isfahan) and in Constantinople is more thoroughly researched, this does not apply to Anatolia. In the context of the Safavid-Ottoman wars, Tokat became an Armenian center since the late 16th century, numerous inhabitants from the eastern war zone fled to the safety of Tokat and built an economic and cultural center there, which mediated between Isfahan, the spiritual centers in Armenia and the Armenian communities in Poland and Moldova. Persian culture and Central European theology were thus conveyed and further processed independently, as Tokat became a hub of a Trans-Ottoman cultural transfer.Historiographically, this era in research on the Armenians was always overshadowed by the medieval Armenian kingdoms and the modern prehistory and history of the Armenian genocide. The Anatolian history of the Armenian communities in the early modern period has therefore hardly been researched, and its reappraisal is an important desideratum.The project is based on scattered sources and numerous copies on the history of Tokat, copied in a contemporary and later manner, since local materials did not survive the history of violence in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Tokat can be seen as an example for other Anatolian cities with Armenian groups and networks, which are definitely considered part of an Ottoman and Trans-Ottoman history.Methodologically, prosopographic data and biographies of economic actors, writers, translators and clergymen from Tokat will be analyzed; these are processed primarily with the help of Actor-Network Theory. It is assumed that economic and cultural Trans-Ottoman networks overlap and that actors were active both in the Safavid Empire and in the networks reaching to Poland-Lithuania (see the biography of Hakob Tokhattsi).
