Abstract

This paper focuses on the visual and textual portrayal of the Polish commander and hetman (highest military officer), Stanislaw Żołkiewski (d. 1620), in an early 17th-century Ottoman illustrated history book, the . Żołkiewski’s legendary memory was cemented in Polish history with his depictions in painting and literature. Yet, his depiction in a wellknown Ottoman book has largely escaped scholarly attention. The text of the describes Żołkiewski as a wise and influential nobleman before it narrates his death on the battlefield by both lamenting the demise of a nobleman and celebrating the Ottoman victory. A painting of the Battle of Cecora in the same volume emphasizes his high rank and hints at the aftermath of his death. These textual and visual portrayals in the offer an insight into representations of the Other in Ottoman historical narratives.

Abstract

Ovaj rad raspravlja o tekstualnom i vizualnom prikazu poljskoga zapovjednika i hetmana (atamana), Stanislawa Żołkiewskog (u. 1620.), u osmanskoj ilustriranoj povijesnoj knjizi iz ranog 17. stoljeća, Şehname-i Nadiri. Sjećanje na Żołkiewskog učvrstilo se u poljskoj povijesti njegovim prikazima u slikarstvu i književnosti. Ipak, njegov lik u poznatoj osmanskoj knjizi uvelike je izbjegao pozornosti znanstvenika. Tekst Şehname-i Nadiri opisuje Żołkiewskog kao mudrog i utjecajnog plemića prije smrti, zatim pripovijeda o njegovoj slavnoj smrti na bojnom polju žaleći zbog smrti plemića i slaveći osmansku pobjedu. Prikaz u istom djelu naglašava njegov visoki čin i nagovještava posljedice njegove smrti. Ovi tekstualni i vizualni prikazi nude uvid u način prikaza Drugoga u osmanskim povijesnim narativima.
