M.Item Open Access The genealogy of Gruffudd ap Cynan(Woolbridge, 1996) Thornton, David E.; Maund, K. L.The genealogy of Gruffudd ap Cynan is preserved in the Historia Gruffud vab Kenan, which it introduces, and also in Welsh genealogical manuscripts of the fifteenth and later centuries. While the latter material is demonstrably derived from a version of that in the Historia, it contains some additional information lacking in the main text. The following discussion will concentrate on the genealogy as it is given in the Historia but will also refer to the later copies where it is useful to do so.Item Open Access Ebu's Su`ud's definition of church vakfs: theory and practice in Ottoman law(I.B.Tauris, 1997) Kermeli, Evgenia; Gleave, R.; Kermeli, EvgeniaItem Open Access A trial reading of Nesati's Taleb gazel(Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association, 1997) Kalpaklı, M.Item Open Access Kings, chronicles and genealogies: on reconstructing mediaeval Celtic dynasties(Boydell Press, 1997) Thornton, David E.; Keats-Rohan, K.

D. A.[No abstract available]Item Open Access The Nonjurors and the counter enlightenment: some illustration(Blackwell Publishers, 1998) Leighton, C. D. A.The article argues, firstly, that in view of the relationship between Protestantism and the English Enlightenment it is in distinctively non-Protestant religious thought, within or without the Church of England, that the central themes of the English Counter Enlightenment are to be sought. The writings of the Nonjurors can and should therefore be seen as possessing a wider significance than that derived from the history of theology. They constitute an important part of the Enlightenment/ Counter Enlightenment debates, and this flows naturally from the position they occupy in relation to the Catholic and Reformation traditions. The study exemplifies this view with reference to the writers of the Usager movement. There is, in the second part, a statement of the fundamental theological causes of the Usager schism. The third part displays the significance of these concerns to the Enlightenment/ Counter Enlightenment debates and in particular to the central matter of these debates - the epistemological and institutional location of authority.Item Open Access Projecting whiteness: race and the unconscious in the history of 19th‐century American workers(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 1998) Towers, F.Item Open Access Orality, literacy and genealogy in medieval Ireland and Wales(Cambridge Universty Press, 1998) Thornton, David E.; Huw, P.For historians of early medieval Ireland and Wales the genealogical sources, along with the chronicles, constitute the primary means of reconstructing dynasties, and thereby of understanding the transmission of power and analysing power structures. 1 Given this evident importance, it is regrettable that for many scholars genealogies have, in the words of John Kelleher,'all the charm of an obsolete telephone directory from some small, remote capital'.Item Open Access Regnal lists(Blackwell Publishers, 1999) Thornton, David E.; Lapidge, M.; Blair, J.; Keynes, S.; Scragg, D.This chapter consists of a glossary listing people, places, activities, and creations of the Anglo‐Saxons that begin with the alphabet 'R'. It provides a detailed description of each of them, supplemented with illustrations where relevant.Item Open Access Hey, mac! the name Maccus, tenth to fifteenth centuries(Society for Name Studies in Britain and Ireland, 1999) Thornton, D.

E.Item Open Access Hutchinsonianism: A counter-enlightenment reform movement(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia, 1999) Leighton, C. D. A.The followers of the natural philosopher John Hutchinson developed a religious movement which produced one of the most notable schools of eighteenth-century Anglican thought. This paper describes Hutchinsonianism's position, firstly, in relation to other religious movements of the period. It sites it within a temporally specific spectrum of ecclesiastical positions and also offers a more general description of its character. To be more specific, there is discussion of the nature of the phenomenon of High Churchmanship and evangelicalism in this period and a justification of the use of the term "reform movement." In the latter part of the paper, Hutchinsonianism is placed within the general intellectual currents of its age. In the course of this discussion attention is drawn to previously underemphasized areas of Hutchinsonian interest, notably the history of religion. However, more importantly, this part of the paper uses Hutchinsonianism to discuss and clarify the use of the terms "Enlightenment" and "Counter-Enlightenment" in the study of English intellectual history.Item Open Access Limits of the almighty: Mehmed II's 'Land Reform' revisited(Brill, 1999-06-05) Özel, O.This paper reviews the reform attempt that took place in the Ottoman Empire during the last years of Mehmed II (1451-81), which is generally referred to as a “land reform” in Ottoman historiography. First, it emphasizes that the freeholds, the main target of the said reform, were ‘revenue-holdings’ not land-holdings. Second, based on the examination of a tax register belonging to the Anatolian province of Amasya, it shows that the reform brought no fundamental change in the existing revenue holding system, let alone in the land relations, which remained entirely outside the scope of the reform. Finally, the article describes Mehmed II’s attempt, insofar as reflected in north-central Anatolia, as no more than a somewhat superficial “fiscal” reform, which eventually resulted in failure upon his death, revealing the vulnerability of the positions of the sultans in their struggle for power against the centrifugal forces in the Ottoman Empire.Item Open Access The civil war generation: military service and mobility in Dubuque, ıowa, 1860–1870(Oxford University Press, 1999-07-01) Johnson, R.
