Description:
Habertürk Tarih was a weekly popular history magazine distributed free as a Sunday supplement by Gazete Habertürk from May 30, 2010, to May 22, 2011. A total of 52 issues were published under the editorial direction of renowned historian and journalist Murat Bardakçı. With contributions from respected historians and writers, including İlber Ortaylı and Erhan Afyoncu, the magazine presented lesser-known and intriguing episodes from Ottoman and world history through archival documents, historical miniatures, and photographs in an accessible style.
This Turkish-language issue, dated October 31, 2010, is the 23rd issue of Habertürk Tarih. Its striking headline, “Shots Fired at Fatih Mosque Over a Prostitute,” introduces a historical account of a confrontation that took place at Fatih Mosque in 1807. The article examines the events surrounding the dispute and the involvement of Şeyhülislam Ataullah Efendi, who reportedly allowed firearms to be used inside the mosque. The issue also profiles Hedy Lamarr, the celebrated Hollywood actress who helped develop a frequency-hopping radio communication system during the Second World War, exploring the remarkable connection between her film career and technological innovation.
Another major feature traces the dramatic history of the Düzyan family, whose members rose to prominence in Ottoman palace service before facing allegations involving corruption and the establishment of a secret church in their waterfront mansions. The family’s possessions were confiscated, and members were sent into exile. Combining unusual historical incidents, the life of an actress-inventor, and the rise and fall of a prominent Ottoman family, this issue offers an engaging snapshot of the popular history journalism published in Turkey in 2010.
