Document Details : Title: From Tabriz to Istanbul Subtitle: Goods and Treasures of Shāh Ismā'īl Looted after the Battle of Chāldirān Author(s): GENÇ, Vural Journal: Studia Iranica Volume: 44 Issue: 2 Date: 2015 Pages: 227-276 DOI: 10.2143/SI.44.2.3144301 Abstract : The battle of Chāldirān (2 Rajab 920/23 August 1514) and its historical significance have been well documented in the literature. However, one of the aspects of this battle, that is the fate of the goods and treasures taken by the Ottomans, has not been studied. While this aspect was overstated in the Ottoman sources, it was not mentioned at all in Safavid sources. Based on two original Ottoman documents that have survived to date, this paper reports on the goods taken by the Ottomans from the Hasht Bihisht Palace of Shāh Ismā‘īl, the founder of the Safavid dynasty. These two documents—D.10734 and D.09608—, currently held at the Topkapı Palace Museum Archives in Istanbul (TSMA), will throw new light on the lesser known aspects of Chāldirān battle and its consequences. La bataille de Chāldirān et son importance historique ont donné lieu à bien de recherches. Un aspect de cette bataille reste cependant peu étudié, à savoir le destin des biens et des mise en avant, alors que les sources safavides la passent sous silence. En s’appuyant sur deux documents ottomans originaux qui sont parvenus jusqu’à nous, cet article s’intéresse aux biens emportés par les Ottomans du palais de Hasht Bihisht de Shāh Ismā‘īl, fondateur de la dynastie safavide. Ces deux documents – D.10734 et D.09608 –, conservés actuellement dans les Archives du Musée du palais de Topkapı à Istanbul (TSMA), apportent un éclairage nouveau sur des aspects peu connus de la bataille de Chāldirān et de ses consequences. |
