Polityczna rola Kościoła prawosławnego na Cyprze w okresie turkokracji i na początku panowania brytyjskiego

Tytuły

Abstrakt

In Cyprus historiography there are very few academic and objective studies dealing with the political role of the autocephalous Cypriot Orthodox Church during the Ottoman period (1571–1878) and at the beginning of the British rule (1878–1900).
The beginnings of christianity in Cyprus go back to the Apostolic times. After the Third Crusade, orthodox Cyprus started to be reigned by Roman Catholic Lusignans and later by Venice, until in 1571 it was conquered by the Ottomans. The arrival of the Ottomans meant the rebirth of the Orthodox Church and the increasing infl uence of her bishops and clergy. The article discusses especially the fast growing power and political infl uence of the bishops and archbishops, who became the ethnarchs of the Cypriots, being their sole represenatives at the Porte. For the ethnarchs, who derived their power from the Ottoman imperial centre, cooperation (or, indeed, collaboration) with the Porte and its offi cers in Cyprus (namely, the muhassil and the dragoman) was the only strategy possible to maintain their political, social and economic power in the island.
The identities and the political activity of particular archbishops are presented, with special emphasis on Philoteos (1734–1759), during whose reign the infl uence of the ethnarch started to increase rapidly, Kyprianos I (1810–1821), under whom the infl uence reached its peak but after the tragic events of 1821 disappeared almost completely, and Sophronios III (1865–1900), the fi rst archbishop of the British period, when the position and the political infl uence of the ethnarch was seriously questioned.
