Divan
A divan or diwan ( fa, دیوان, ''dīvān''; from Sumerian ''dub'', clay tablet) was a high government ministry in various Islamic states, or its chief official (see ''dewan''). Etymology The word, recorded in English since 1586, meaning "Oriental council of a state", comes from Turkish ''divan'', from Arabic ''diwan''. It is first attested in Middle Persian spelled as ''dpywʾn'' and ''dywʾn'', itself hearkening back, via Old Persian, Elamite and Akkadian, ultimately to Sumerian ''dub'', clay tablet. The word was borrowed into Armenian as well as ''divan''; on linguistic grounds this is placed after the 3rd century, which helps establish the original Middle Persian (and eventually New Persian) form was ''dīvān'', not ''dēvān'', despite later legends that traced the origin of the word to the latter form. The variant pronunciation ''dēvān'' however did exist, and is the form surviving to this day in Tajiki Persian. In Arabic, the term was first used for the army ...

Mihrimah Sultan (daughter Of Murad III)
Mihrimah Sultan ( ota, مهرماه سلطان, "''sun and moon''" or "''light of the moon''") was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–1595) and perphaps Safiye Sultan, and sister of Sultan Mehmed III (reign 1595–1603) of the Ottoman Empire. Birth It is not known for sure who her mother was. There are hits that most often claim that she was the daughter of unknown concubine and that she was suggestly born in 1592. The main evidence of this is the date of his first known marriage, placed between 1604 and 1613. The ''Ottoman Register'' indicates that in 1595, when her father died, she was among his eldest daughters, which indicates that she may have been the daughter of Safiye Sultan. If that is true, she was not born before 1578-79. It would also make sense if she was born shortly after the death of Mihrimah Sultan,a daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, in whose honor she was named. If she was Safiye's daughter, she had at least two full brother ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
