In many cultures, mandrake is related to magic and witchcraft, which is said to have a psychosomatic effect (especially when mandrake contains narcotic compounds) in addition to the pharmacological influence, as occurs with other narcotic magical plants. Due to its unique properties and related myths, it is not surprising that this plant has many names in many languages.MethodsThis paper presents an attempt to reconstruct the historical, ethnobotanical, and folkloristic roots of 292 vernacular names ofMandragoraspp. in forty-one languages. We used the plant’s morphological data, philology, myths and legends, medicinal properties and uses, as well as historical evidence and folkloric data, to explain meaning, origin, migration, and history of the plant’s names.ResultsThe names were classified into the following main categories: Derivat...

Dört devir halinde ele alınan Abbasiler Çağı'ndâ, daha önceki devirlere göre, edebiyatta bir canlanma ve gelişme göze çarpmaktadır. Nesir de, bu doğ rultuda gelişmesini sürdürmüştür. Abbasi Edebiyatının önemli özellik lerinden birisi, İslam Devleti'nin gelişmesi ve bunun sonucunda değişik milletlerden unsurların karışmasıyla, dili Arapça olan, ancak kendi milli özelliklerini de koruyan, değişik formlar ve üsluplar içeren bir İslam Ede biyatının meydana gelmesidir. Bu İslam Edebiyatı içinde, İranlılar ve özellikle Türkler, önemli bir yer tutmaktadırlar. Arapça eserler veren birçok Türk bilgini, edebiyatçısı, dilcisi yetişmiştir. Bunlar arasında al-Cavharî (öl. 1002), "al-Şıhâh" adlı sözlüğün yazarıdır. Abbasi nesrinde, "hitabet", "risale", "antoloji", "kıssa", "makâlât", "munâzarât", "makarne" türlerinde eserler Verilmiştir. Ayrıca, Yunanca, Süryanice ve Pehlevi dillerinden yapılan çeşitli çeviriler de, Abbasi nesrinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Abbasiler Devri nesrinde, başlangıçta önemli bir yeri olan hitabetin, gittikçe bu önemini kaybetmeye başladığı görülmektedir. Bu devirde hitabet, gittikçe zayıflamıştır. Daha önceleri, hitabeti ortaya çıkaran faktörlerden olan al-c aşabiyya (soy sop düşkünlüğü) ve hizipçilik ruhunun, gücünü zamanla kay betmesi ve insanların görüşlerini ifade için yazılı araçlara başvurması, bu sonucun ortaya çıkmasında önemli bir rol oynamıştır 1. İbn Nubâta (doğ. 946), bu devrin ünlü hatiplerindendir. İbn Nubâta'nın, Bizans ordularıyla savaş halinde bulunan: emirleri cesaret lendirmek için yazdığı hutbelerinin önemli olduğu bilinmektedir 2 .
This book deals with the Turkish words in Arabic dialects.

EUPHEMISM FOR OTTOMAN RULE IN THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY
20TH CENTURIES / Aharon Geva-Kleinberger and Bedrettin Aytaç
Togarma (Hebrew: תוגרמה or תגרמה )is an obsolete term that
has simply disappeared from present-day Hebrew and is used
and understood neither in daily life nor in the contemporary
Israeli and Jewish press. This article probes the development
of this etymon, which first appears in the “table of nations” in
Genesis 10:3 that lists the descendants of Noah—peoples and
tribes known to the ancient Hebrews—and was widely used in
the Jewish press in the nineteenth century to denote Ottoman
rule and also the Turks. The use of Togarma in the Jewish press
declined rapidly at the end of Turkish rule in Palestine/Eretz
Yisrael and faded out during the Mandate era. The research
is based on Hebrew press items at the Historical Jewish Press
Web site. The co-authors, one from Israel and the other from
Turkey, describe the historical development of the etymon and its
semantic uses in Jewish texts from a longitudinal chronological
perspective, focusing particularly on Jewish newspapers in the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
