It has even been suggested that the belief system, though common in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, was foreign to the ancient Sumerians. While Thomsen suggested that the evil eye was limited to humans, other scholars have argued that the evil eye was only associated with divinities in Sumerian literature. This study focuses on the conceptual content of linguistic expressions relating to the eye of humans, animals, and demons in order to demonstrate that much can still be learned about this complex belief system as it existed in ancient Mesopotamia when conceptual metaphors and metonymies for the evil eye are also taken into account.","PeriodicalId":55909,"journal":{"name":"Asian and African Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"53-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77530517","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}

Besides Ottomans only collected data on males. Obstacles to collecting existing data include collection of district vital events registers and tying them with a summary population register would be overwhelming for scholars and the Bas Bakanlik Arsivi in Istanbul Turkey has not catalogued many remaining uncatalogued population registers. The Ottomans did compile registration data however but only the 1831 census provided the most valuable and extensive data even down to the local level. The other 2 complications included the 1844 census and population data in the 1877-1878 government yearbook. The historical demographer used 8 vital events registers to observe the distribution of male deaths by age groups and found an unexpectedly high number of deaths in the 15-34 year old age group. He estimated that about 50% of the population died before age 5. Further the data showed a life expectancy at birth of 25-30 year. Data on endemic diseases in Anatolia were essentially nonexistent but data from Istanbul in the early 1900s showed tuberculosis to be a leading cause of death. The 1847-1848 cholera epidemic claimed more lives than the other 4 cholera epidemics in the 1800s. The plaque occurred so often in Anatolia that it could be considered an endemic disease. Despite many men being in the many Ottoman wars in the 1800s fertility in Anatolia remained relatively high due to serial polygamy and husbands periodically returning to their homes. Injuries and disease caused more deaths than did enemy fire. After the Crimean War Muslim migrations from the Crimea and the Caucasus to Anatolia and Armenian migration from Anatolia to the Caucasus occurred. Estimated mortality among refugee populations was about 30%. Due to large scale migrations into and out of Anatolia the 1800-1878 population remained relatively stable.","PeriodicalId":55909,"journal":{"name":"Asian and African Studies","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"1987-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76677117","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}
