To do this, these factors are dealt with (among others): the positioning that China assumes and wants to assume on the planet, and the ensemble of geopolitical theories that derive from it; and the conception of politics with respect to centralization / decentralization issues. In addition to this, the role of the economic (and geoeconomic) vision of contemporary China is also highlighted, in particular in relation to the thoughts of Xi Jinping expressed in 2017 at the Davos Forum. It becomes important to understand, in this sense, the idea of globalization and multipolarity that China extends, as a guiding principle, to its foreign policy. This is because this is based on cultural roots of distant ancestry. Through these interrelated interpretative levels, it is possible to understand the function that China plays within the contemporary world and its contribution of ideas and visions.","PeriodicalId":222100,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF THE INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124256034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These collections were compiled at the religious-educational institutions called tekke or dergāh, and the medrese. They were compiled as language textbooks, in order to provide easy learning of languages (Arabic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish) through the simultaneous use of several verse dictionaries and to be engaged in the process of learning languages by heart. The unique copy of the Matenadaran’s \"Collection of Verse Dictionaries\" includes 3 complete copies of bilingual (Arabic-Ottoman Turkish) and trilingual (Arabic-Persian-Ottoman Turkish) verse dictionaries of the 14th-15th, 17th and 19th-century writers: copies of Ferişteoġlu ʽAbdullaṭīf ibn Melek’s (proper name was ʽAbdullaīf ʽİzzeddīn et-Tirevī) \"Luġat-i Ferişteoġlū\" and Bosnalı Ebū̕ l-Fāżl Muḥammed (Meḥmed) ibn Aḥmed er-Rūmī's \"Ṣubha-i Ṣıbyān\" Arabic-Ottoman Turkish and also complete copy of Adanalı Ḫōca Meḥmed Ḥayret's (propar name was Meḥmed Behāeddīn Ḥayret) \"Tuḥfe-i Zībā\" (known with another titles as \"Tuḥfe-i Dürrī\" or \"Tuḥfe-i Ḥayret\" or \"Tuḥfe-i Se Zebān\") Arabic-Persian-Ottoman Turkish verse dictionaries. The article presents in detail the works included in the collection. At the same time, it has touched upon the methodology of writing verse dictionaries in classical Turkish literature, their structural features, the significance and role of dictionaries in Turkish society, religion, literature and education. The purposes of writing verse dictionaries in all cases were to teach languages, to develop and spread literary speech, and to practice in prosody (especially in ʽArūż meter). The comprehensive presentation of the collection is even sufficient for it to become a part of the manuscripts of the four collections, already known in foreign collections as the \"Collection of Verse Dictionaries\", in order to become a source of new research opportunities for local and foreign specialists.","PeriodicalId":222100,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF THE INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116590040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From time to time, it has been an object of interest for journalists, researchers and scientists as well. However, the transforming elements of the Yezidi traditional wedding have not been properly studied as of yet. In the framework of this article, some elements of Yezidi traditional weddings are examined: those elements have undergone various transformations due to external influences over the last few decades. The wedding ceremony is a more open, easily influenced and transformable ritual. Therefore, many elements of the traditional Yezidi wedding have partly been influenced by the Armenian wedding ritual and partly influenced by modern wedding trends. Many elements have been given a new appearance and interpretation, while some old ceremonies have been reborn and are performed in a new way. Additionally, some traditional forms of marriage (polygamy, levirate) have been forgotten among the Yezidis of Armenia. The study of the transformation of some elements of the traditional Yezidi wedding is important, as it can greatly contribute to the study of the dynamics of other ethnic transformative processes.","PeriodicalId":222100,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF THE INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134286535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Проживали они по крайней мере с IX в. до второй половины XIV в. в крепости Акаро в нескольких километрах к северу от Хунзаха - столицы Аварского нуцальства. В письменных источниках подчеркивается, что в отличие от остального населения они не платили налогов казне. Более того, по другим источникам они получали оплату за свою военную службу и имели целый ряд сельскохозяйственных угодий, которые сдавали в аренду и получали дополнительные доходы, позволявшие им сосредоточиться исключительно на своем занятии, не отвлекаясь на сельскохозяйственные и прочие работы. Привлечение устной традиции, материалов археологических раскопок, письменных источников XIX - начала ХХ в., а также архивного материала XIX в. позволяет внести дополнительные штрихи и полнее охарактеризовать предмет нашего исследования. Комплексное рассмотрение всех имеющихся в нашем распоряжении фактов, а так-же введение в научный оборот нового и чрезвычайно ценного источника - соглашения Пажилал от XVII в. позволило нам провести ретроспективное исследование с выявлением всех отличительных особенностей данного института средневекового государства на Восточном Кавказе. Нами также прослежены некоторые аналогии между отдельными составляющими военных институций Аварского нуцальства с подобными явлениями в истории Армении, Грузии и особенно - Ирана. Это помогло нам выявить иранские корни некоторых терминов и прийти к выводу о сложении данного компонента военной культуры Аварского нуцальства в результате иранского влияния на местные традиции.","PeriodicalId":222100,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF THE INSTITUTE OF ORIENTAL STUDIES","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115685931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Syria’s neighborhood hosts currently about 5.5 million forcibly displaced Syrians who have fled the crisis since its onset in 2011.

According to J. Wolski, J.

Оnly a comprehensive examination of the evidence provided by written sources in the field of the Parthian numismatics, epigraphy, archaeology, onomastics and other branches of science can give a complete answer to the issue.
