Abstract:

 

This study concerns the connections of the Greek Orthodox Christian Patriarch of Istanbul with the Dutch State early in the 17th century through the mediation of the First Dutch Ambassador in Istanbul. In the presence of Patriarch Loukaris and Ambassador Haga, it discusses the relation of religious conflicts of the 17th century with political and diplomatic questions, which would have a certain impact on religious and social reforms in the long run. The contact of Loukaris as a progressive soul in the Orthodox community with the Dutch Republic, which symbolizes religious and social reforms of the period concerned, is analyzed mainly on the basis of the memories of Haga and the concept of social transformation is argued in this context.

 

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu topraklarında İstanbul Rum Ortodoks Patriği olarak görev yapmış Cyrillos Loukaris, 17. Yüzyılın başında İstanbul’a gönderilen ilk Hollanda Büyükelçisi Cornelis Haga üzerinden, o dönemde Protestan kimliğini yapılandırma sürecinde olan Hollanda Cumhuriyeti ile yakın bir etkileşim içine girmiştir. Bu çalışma, Patrik Loukaris ve Büyükelçi Haga arasındaki iletişimi, birincil tarihsel kaynaktan yani Haga’nın İstanbul’a vardığı ilk günden itibaren tuttuğu günlükten yararlanarak, dinsel ve toplumsal dönüşüm hareketlerine uzun vadede etkide bulunabilecek dönemin dinsel çatışmalarının siyasi ve diplomatik sorunlarla olan bağlantısını çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Söz konusu kaynaklar ışığında, Patriğin ve ona bağlı Ortodoks cemaatin, 17. Yüzyılın ilk yarısında, Katolik-Protestan güç ve nüfuz çekişmesinin merkezinde yer aldığını gözlemliyoruz.
