Abstract

The aim of this paper is to better understand the significance of International Congresses
of Byzantine Studies within the Byzantine studies in general and the 10th International
Congress of Byzantine Studies 1955-Istanbul, which has been overshadowed in memories
by the most regretful events of 6–7 September, in particular. The paper briefly deals with
the Byzantine studies and politics of culture in Turkey between 1926 and 1950s, which may
have helped Istanbul’s election as the host of 10th International Congress. It focuses on the
preparations for the 10th International Congress by the Turkish organizing committee and
Turkish government, based on the minutes of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and
the archival documents of Cahide Tamer, and finally it discusses the 10th International
Congress, members of the Turkish organizing committee, participants, papers, excursions,
exhibitions, and publications.

Abstract

Bu yazının amacı 1924 ile 1955 yılları arasında gerçekleşen uluslararası Bizans çalışmaları
kongrelerinin Bizans çalışmalarındaki yerini, özellikle şimdiye kadar başlı başına bir araştırmanın
konusu olmamış ve hatıralarda 6–7 Eylül 1955 olaylarının gölgesinde kalmış 10. Milletlerarası
Bizans Tetkikleri Kongresi’ni ve kongrenin Türkiye’deki Bizans çalışmalarına olan
etkisini incelemektir. Makale 1926 ve 1950 yılları arasında Türkiye’deki kültür politikalarına
ve Bizans çalışmalarına, ikincil kaynaklar ve şimdiye kadar fazla incelenmemiş İstanbul Arkeoloji
Müzeleri müdürü Aziz Ogan’ın arşivinden faydalanarak kısaca değinmektedir. Kongre
hazırlıkları, organizasyon komitesi, kongre katılımcıları, sunulan tebliğler, kongre esnasında
gerçekleşen geziler, sergiler ve katılımcılara sunulan yayınlar, Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi
tutanakları, yakın zamanda araştırmacılara açılan restoratör-mimar Cahide Tamer arşivi,
gazete haberleri, kongre tebliğ kitap ve yayınları ve ikincil kaynaklar yardımıyla tanıtılarak
bu az bilinen kongreye ve zamanına ışık tutulmaya çalışılmaktadır.
