	The Janissary Stomp \| Reviews
		It’s always a challenge to find music that intrigues, moves, and inspires me. It is also a challenge to present my readers with rare gems of a quality that are hard to find but worth the effort to seek out.
		One of those rare gems, and the CD at hand is: The Janissary Stomp by Roger Landes and Chipper Thompson.
		All in all, The Janissary Stomp is a great album for those who embrace a successful merging of global folk music and styles that borrow from their modern and ancient forms.

	The religion of Janissary (Selma Tolon)
		Posted: Apr 25, 2006 4:22 AM The Janissary, who'd found the fabled scimitar of Suleiman the Magnificent (a sword enchanted by Merlin in the East as he had Excalibur in the West) and who also found Merlin's spellbook resting beside it.
		Anyhow, yeah, she was a Turkish woman who'd studied medicine in America and then returned home to save lives for the Red Crescent; she took Islam quite seriously, had a little crush on Aquaman, and sure enough hasn't been much seen since.
		I like to see characters like Zauriel, Janissary, etc., who represent different belief systems, but I don't like the idea of a character acting on what I supposedly believe, because a writer's interpretation of what a Christian, Muslim, Jew, etc. believes may not reflect my personal beliefs...

	Ottoman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the battlefield, the Ottomans were beginning the process of gradually falling behind Christian Europe in military technology as religious and intellectual conservatism began to act as an anchor to the spirit of innovation that had been a signal aspect to the empire's forceful expansion.
		The Sipahi cavalry was becoming a dated force and, most seriously, relaxations of recruitment policy and ill-considered growth in numbers in the Janissary corps engendered chronic defects in discipline and the ability to perform as an elite.
		This had serious negative consequences across all facets of Ottoman society, being manifest in Janissary revolts that toppled Sultans and ministers and widespread lawlessness and rebellion in Anatolia in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, commonly known as the Celalî rebellions.

	Janissaries
		The Janissaries became famous for their military skills, but also because they were staffed by youths conscripted from Christian families in the Balkans.
		The Janissaries were subject to strict rules, limiting their freedom and demanding higher moral standards than usual in the society.
		Other reasons for the sultan to want to remove the Janissaries were that they had grown into a large number, up from 20,000 in 1574 to 135,000 in their last year of 1826.

		It is clear that the Janissary band was in some sense away from being merely a music group in the battlefield and its musical aspect was more evident during peacetime.
		During peacetime, the Janissary band was an indication that the khan's sultanate and the state life continued.
		The Ottoman Janissary band consisted of aerophones such as shrill pipe, pipe, kurrenay and band whistle, and membraphones or patting instruments such as large drum, drum, timbale, cymbal and stick.

		The terms of the Janissary revolve around a Turkish guarantee that Austria or Italy will be kept in the game TO THE END unless Turkey is able to take a win.
		As the Turks advance any remaining Janissary home centres will probably be swallowed up, but as a redress replacement centres are found as the Janissaries help to gain ground for the alliance.
		The Janissary has to be convinced of the Turk's sincerity in promising not to gratuitously eliminate his position in the endgame to wrap up a draw.

	The Bektashi Order of Sufi Dervishes
		One consequence of the intimate Bektashi association with the Janissaries and hence with Ottoman authority was that the Bektashis were rarely attacked on grounds of doctrine or innovations.
		The first time they got the boot from Istanbul, it was because of the Janissaries: while the barracks was bombarded in 1826 under the orders of Mehmet II who lost patience with the Janissaries' resistance to his Westernising programme of reform.
		Following the destruction of the Janissary Corps and the banning of the tariqat in 1826, many Bektashi babas and dervishes fled to the remote areas of the Balkans far from the reach of the Ottoman government.

	Ottomans - Turkish dynasty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Under the first sultan, Osman (1280/1300-1326) and his successors came a period of successful self-assertion and expansion, achieved to the cost of the Byzantine empire (conquest of Bursa in 1326 and Edirne in 1361).
		Ottomans established their first strongholds in the Balkans (Gallipoli) and assembled the elite Janissary corps, which enabled them to expand rapidly though the Balkans and into Anatolia (with victories in the battles of Kosovo in 1389 and Nicopolis in 1396).
		In the ongoing conflict with the Hapsburg empire (Vienna was besieged again in 1683), the Ottomans were on the defensive after 1700.

	Jason Goodwin, The Janissary Tree
		Indeed, The Janissary Tree is an impressive initial foray into fiction for British author and journalist Jason Goodwin, whose previous book-length works have been non-fiction travel and history.
		Set in 1839, The Janissary Tree builds off an incident that took place ten years before, the so-called Auspicious Event, in which Sultan Mahmut II quelled a Janissary revolt (that some say he fomented) by having their Istanbul barracks fired upon, their property seized, and many of the survivors tracked down and executed.
		But this length scarcely gives Goodwin enough room to give his readers the background they need to develop a full appreciation of the setting, the characters, and the historical context.
