These guys weren't Catholics, so this is a little off topic, but it's interesting. Three #Armenian s were arrested and sent to the galleys for dressing as #Muslim s. The generally accepted view on clothes in the early modern #Ottoman Empire is that sartorial laws were applied inconsistently across time and space (on which see Quataert 1997). I wonder what their story was and they were up to… Mischief? 4/?

"Demandez qu'on vous montre un pont, un hôpital, créé par l'Empire ottoman en Algérie, vous ne le trouverez pas", assure Zemmour sur BFM. Fake news: le pont El Kantara à Constantine a été construit en 1792 par Salah bey... avant d'être détruit en 1857 par les troupes françaises. A Alger, la première structure hospitalière ottomane fut construite en 1550 et continua de fonctionner pour la population jusqu’en 1854 (Hôpital Caratine).

📷 Rose House, Lebanon

The Rose House is a once-grand palace in #Lebanon. Its name echoes the magnificent roses that previously flourished in the now-disused gardens.

The #architecture combines traditional #Ottoman characteristics with more Western influences. The main living area is typical of historic Lebanese buildings, high ceilings and an internal triple-arch arcade leading to a balcony.

A blind man, Ahmed, carrying his best friend, Samir, a paralyzed dwarf

Samir served as Ahmed's eyes. Ahmed served as Samir's legs

Ahmed was #Muslim

Samir was #Christian

- #Damascus, #Ottoman #Syria, 1889

#Syrians: you are all in this together

World: we are all in this together

Another relevant parallel:

Samir was paralyzed because of #polio. Take note, new insane #USA government

Sad but bittersweet note:

When Samir died, Ahmed was besides himself in grief, and died a week later

I finally managed to write up some of the thoughts that went into contributing the bibliographic information on Arabic periodicals and their known holdings to #Wikidata. I have published a preprint to Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/14112648. Feel free to share and to comment under this post.

ZenodoAdding Every Arabic Periodical Published Before 1930 to Wikidata: Moving the Scholarly Crowd-Sourcing Project Jarāʾid to the Digital CommonsThis paper documents the contribution of comprehensive bibliographic data on all Arabic periodicals published worldwide until 1930 to Wikidata. We discuss the need for such a data set, which originated with scholarly crowd-sourcing project Jarāʾid and comprises information on more than 3000 periodicals, about 2700 editors, and almost 350 holding institutions, the weaknesses of our original approach, and how the move to Wikidata, the largest public and open knowledge graph, addresses them. We demonstrate how Wikidata also satisfies the two predominant use cases of this data set not currently served by available library and discovery systems. Finally, we show how the move to Wikidata generates continuous engagement with wider Wikimedia communities and demonstrate the reusability of our approach with a second data set of periodicals from the Ottoman Empire.

Yet Water Was :mstdnca:

I met a man today as he was coming off methadone. He was manic but I sat and talked to him for a long time. At the end he told me I was a "disnyat" - no idea how to spell it. He said they were the gatekeepers of the Ottoman empire, 'the ones who open doors'.

Any #history geek in Masto land know what he was talking about? I have done a couple of searches but nothing obvious pops up.
