This paper focuses on the visual and textual portrayal of the Polish commander and hetman (highest military officer), Stanislaw Żółkiewski (d. 1620), in an early 17th-century Ottoman illustrated history book, the Şehname-i Nadiri. Żółkiewski’s legendary memory was cemented in Polish history with his depictions in painting and literature. Yet, his depiction in a wellknown Ottoman book has largely escaped scholarly attention. The text of the Şehname-i Nadiri describes Żółkiewski as a wise
and influential nobleman before it narrates his death on the battlefield by both lamenting the demise of a nobleman and
celebrating the Ottoman victory. A painting of the Battle of Cecora in the same volume emphasizes his high rank and hints
at the aftermath of his death. These textual and visual portrayals in the Şehname-i Nadiri offer an insight into representations
of the Other in Ottoman historical narratives.
Keywords: Ottoman illustrated histories, Other, Şehname-i Nadiri, Battle of Cecora, Stanislaw Żółkiewski
Ottoman illustrated history books such as şehnames often deal with Self and the Other. These accounts
narrate the deeds of Ottoman sultans and pashas (governors or commanders) and were written for Ottoman royal or elite audiences.1 Military conflicts cover a considerable space among these deeds, and the accounts relate
them in a manner catering to what the Ottoman audience would have liked to read.2 At times, these books served
their authors’ goals to be promoted to a higher-rank, to be employed by the court, or to gain more commissions
from the ruling elite. Stylistically, they aimed to have exciting plotlines to keep the attention of the reader, and,
possibly, listeners in a place where the stories were recited.3
While these textual aspects often remain literary historians’ focus, they provide valuable information
also on the paintings that illustrate the text and the political discourse on the identity of Self and the Other.4
Illustrated histories at the Ottoman court were part and parcel of the political toolbox that the elite patrons utilized to achieve personal goals. Some of these goals included securing positions by establishing themselves as
ideal characters who were worthy of the sultan’s trust.5 Similarly, sultans commissioned these heroic accounts
to valorize their achievements and even to remedy their unpopularity.6 Their valorization was enacted by describing their actions in the face of adversity. Commanding the Ottoman army, facing the enemy on the battleground, or managing a fortress under siege are just a few examples. Portraying the Other served the portrayal of
the Ottoman “self” by underscoring differences, and at times, similar idealistic characters serving as antagonists.

This paper focuses on the visual and textual portrayal of the Polish commander and hetman (highest
military officer), Stanislaw Żółkiewski (d. 1620), in a 17th-century illustrated history book, the Şehname-i Nadiri.
Żółkiewski’s legendary memory was cemented in Polish history with his depictions in painting and literature.
Yet, his depiction in a well-known Ottoman book has largely escaped scholarly scrutiny. The Şehname-i Nadiri,
composed in 1622, is an illustrated book that recounts the events during the reign of Sultan Osman II (r. 16181622).7 The book records wars fought, and rebellions repressed by the Ottomans during his short reign. It is a vivid
narrative, highlighting the preparation and progress of each campaign, as well as the main characters rendered
as dramatic heroes and villains. Żółkiewski is one of the most exceptional antagonists in this narrative. The Battle
of Cecora (1620), in which he led the Polish army against the Ottomans, constitutes one chapter in the book. This
chapter contains a long description of the Polish commander, accompanied by a painting of the battle8 (fig. 1).
While the painting is one of the many battle scenes in Ottoman manuscripts that depicts the Ottomans
fighting, it is far from a generic scene.9 It depicts specific details that are narrated in the text about the Battle of
Cecora. The Ottoman army, led by the governor Iskender Pasha, and the Polish-Lithuanian army, led by Żółkiewski, met near the River Prut.10 Upon suffering losses, the Polish army started to retreat. Squeezed between the Ottomans and the river, the Polish army had to proceed towards the river, which brought more losses and, ultimately,
defeat. The text introduces Polish commander Żółkiewski at the beginning of the battle narrative: “He has fifty
castles of his own, as well as countless towns and villages. He pays tribute to the king with his bravery, but he does

not often take refuge in him. He is an independent king on those lands with a high position and his own soldiers.
The [Polish] king praised him and presented him the robes of honor of a commander. He designated him as the
commander of the soldiers of error”.11
The description of Żółkiewski in the Şehname-i Nadiri oscillates between eulogy and vilification. It first lists
his virtues and his high status as the chancellor of the Polish crown. Then, it immediately reminds the audience
that he is “the commander of the soldiers of error”, referring to the Christianity of the Polish-Lithuanian army.12 Aspects of ideal leadership such as wealth, bravery, and independence are praised. Confessional differences, meanwhile, emphasize the rivalry between the two states, armies, and commanders. This double approach exemplifies
what historian Kaya Şahin calls a “restrained praise” in Ottoman author Mustafa Çelebi Celalzade’s 16th-century
account.13 Mustafa Çelebi Celalzade approves being friends with Christian powers, as long as they do not challenge Ottoman dominion. Similarly, in the case of Żółkiewski, it was the Polish commander’s confrontation with
the Ottomans that renders him an enemy, more than his religious difference. His religious Otherness is evoked in
a negative way only when he is positioned as the military rival. In the double-folio painting in which the Battle of
Cecora is depicted, the Ottoman commander, Iskender Pasha, is identified by his prominent position on the rightside page on his brown horse and wearing a large white turban (fig. 1). Recognizing Żółkiewski, however, requires
a closer look at both the painting and the text.

The text concludes the battle with Żółkiewski’s death, who, according to Nadiri, was killed by an Ottoman
soldier while he was retreating. One figure at the bottom left side of the double-page is being hit by an Ottoman
soldier exactly as described in the text. Several aspects of the iconography support my identification of the figure as Żółkiewski. First, this is the only figure in the scene with a gray beard. Żółkiewski was 73 years old at the
time of the battle. In addition, unlike any of the other men from the Polish-Lithuanian army, this figure’s helmet
and the sleeves of his armour are golden, suggesting Żółkiewski’s rank. This hitherto unidentified depiction of
Żółkiewski in Şehname-i Nadiri is noteworthy in understanding the Ottoman perception of a rival. Żółkiewski’s
death is depicted prominently in the front of the page, facing Iskender Pasha on the opposite page. It also bears
significance since the other rivals, including the Safavid shah, despite their frequent appearances in the storyline,
are not depicted in Şehname-i Nadiri. The book narrates eight campaigns and features eleven paintings – six of
which depict battles. None of the other major antagonists are visually represented.

Elsewhere in the book, Safavid ruler, Shah Abbas I (r. 1588-1629), is described as escaping a potential battle, leaving the former Safavid capital of Tabriz to Ottoman plunder.14 His absence in the city when the Ottoman
army arrived is reflected in his absence in the paintings of the Şehname. In the manuscript, there are two paintings related to the Ottoman-Safavid war. The first one depicts the Ottoman army plundering and burning the city
of Tabriz (fig. 2). The text accompanies the painting with a long and vivid description of the looting.15 It adds that
there “was no news from Shah Abbas, nor was there any sign of his warriors.”16 The second painting that relates
to the Safavid war appears in the chapter in which a peace treaty is achieved between the two sides (fig. 3).17 This
painting depicts the gifts sent from Shah Abbas to the Ottoman capital Istanbul as tribute.18 The text includes a
likely imaginary letter from Shah Abbas to Osman II in which he accepts the superior position of the Ottoman
ruler, saying: “I [Shah Abbas I] am a slave and he [Osman II] is the shah who owns the throne. I am a mote and he
is the luminous sun. I am a drop and he is the world-surrounding ocean. I am a speck of dust and he is the earth
of the mainland”.19
The paintings add to this defeated and subservient image by not depicting the shah but rather visualizing the result of his defeats, namely the plunder and the tributes. Like the letter, the victorious result of the battle
for the Ottomans was also an exaggeration. The Serav Agreement that was signed at the end of this battle meant
that Ottomans accepted conditions they previously rejected. 20 However, the text and paintings of Şehname-i Nadiri reshaped the historical narrative. The Safavids’ attributed characteristics and the absence of their sovereign
further highlights the rationale behind Żółkiewski’s appearance.
Żółkiewski’s death was a traumatic event not only for his army but equally for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The whole battle including the death of the commander is narrated in several contemporary Polish
sources.21 In addition, as late as the 19th century, French politician Narcisse-Achille de Salvandy wrote about the
immediate aftermath of the Battle of Cecora in his account of Polish history: “The next day, [Iskander Pasha], a
seraskier who commanded the Turks in chief, roamed the battlefield. He recognized Żółkiewski among heaps of
the dead, on his forehead still imbued with genius and authority. It is said that, himself a renowned veteran, he
only sent the great man’s head to Constantinople after having contemplated it for a long time with emotion”.22 It
is not possible to know whether Iskender Pasha really contemplated over the head of Hetman Żółkiewski, but the
the Şehname-i Nadiri’s narrative does contemplate the passing of the great man by dwelling on the subject of his
head. The text is positioned between lamenting the death of a brave and powerful man and drawing a lesson on
the fragility of mortality. After noting that Żółkiewski’s head was severed and sent to the sultan, Nadiri continues:
“That head, once crowned with the sun, is now crowned by soil and awash with crimson wine. That head did
not even bow to Iskender, now it is beaten from ground to ground by the hand of wrath. That head, once loftier
than skies, now is concealed from the eye with blood and soil. This is the work of the lowly world; it renders even
Rustams powerless in the end”.23
The author likens Żółkiewski to Rustam, the heroic character from the Şehname-i Firdawsi, an 11th-century Persian epic that was copied, illustrated, and read widely in the Ottoman Empire. Ferdowsi’s shahnama was
also the model for Ottoman şehnames, which often used similar literary tools to narrate what they argued to be
real events, as opposed to the mythical events of the Persian epic. Rustam is perhaps the noblest, bravest, and
strongest hero in the Shahnama-i Firdawsi, whose image is likened to the Ottoman sultans and pashas too. This
sympathetic approach to the commander of the enemy forces demonstrates the multi-dimensional image of the
Other in the Şehname-i Nadiri.
The warning of the text about the ephemerality of life is also represented in the painting. While Żółkiewski is receiving what might be the fatal wound, the severed heads of three Polish soldiers surround his figure.
These heads are depicted laying on the ground and covered with blood. Meanwhile, the text with the phrase
“crimson wine” alludes to and later openly mentions blood and soil.24 In the scene, Żółkiewski is being hit by the
Ottoman soldier’s sword on his neckline, where a small amount of red paint indicates bleeding. Żółkiewski’s head
231
IKON, 15-2022
“crowned by the sun”25 is depicted in the painting with his golden helmet. The heads surrounding him hints at
the impeding end of this glorious life. This is hardly the only image in which the severed heads of the enemy were
depicted in the Ottoman painting. Likewise, similar images were deployed in other parts of the world in the early
modern era. Historian Palmira Brummett writes on the head of the “fallen Turk” in European images: “[…] in the
hard-fought struggles for sovereignty over the sprawling frontier zone between Muslim and Christian lords, the
taking of enemy heads was a universally understood symbol of dominance and humiliation, a declaration of possession of that which the enemy held most dear, and a customary mode of enacting vengeance. Once heads were
taken, they needed to be displayed, in fact, in word, and in image”.26 It is therefore not surprising that Żółkiewski’s
decapitation, the fall of a heroic figure who held the highest-ranking position in the army and fought actively in
the battleground at the age of seventy-three, was a greatly demoralizing event for the Polish-Lithuanian army.
At the same time, the Ottoman narrative of the Battle of Cecora includes this achievement over their Christian
neighbors “in word and in image”, as Brummett observes.
A final aspect to consider in Żółkiewski’s image is his head’s full profile depiction. The full profile of the
hetman’s head contrasts with the frontal orientation of his body. While this awkward position of the head and
body draws attention to his incapacity to fight back, it might also emphasize his nobility. Full profile portraits are
not encountered often in the Ottoman portrait painting tradition, except for portraits of Mehmed II from the 14th
century and some of the portraits painted by the 16th-century painter Nigari.27 An example is Nigari’s portrait of
the Ottoman grand admiral Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha, also known as Barbarossa, with his head depicted in full
profile and his body in three-quarter view, combining non-Ottoman and Ottoman iconographic elements.28 According to the art historian Julian Raby, the exceptional style of Nigari was due to his sources including European
oil paintings and prints of ruler portraits.29 The portrayal of Żółkiewski’s head in full profile, then, raises the question of whether European sources and even a portrait of Żółkiewski himself, were consulted by the painter of the
Şehname-i Nadiri. While this question requires further research, the full profile portrayal of Żółkiewski might have
underscored his nobility by evoking ruler portraits in the minds of Ottoman audiences.
To conclude, the Otherness of Żółkiewski as the leader of the Christian army that faced the Ottomans,
or “the soldiers of Islam” as Nadiri calls them, is conveyed in a series of characteristics attributed to him. He is
portrayed as a great soldier and a powerful leader, whereas he is also described as being “in error” and ultimately
defeated. On the one hand, he is compared to the great heroes of the Shahnama-i Ferdowsi, just as the Ottoman
sultan and commanders are likened to similar heroisms. On the other hand, his death on the battlefield is narrated in a way that belittles him and exalts the Ottoman victory. In contrast to the Polish narratives that portray
Żółkiewski fighting bravely until his last moment, according to Nadiri, Żółkiewski was killed while he was retreating. The painter of the Şehname-i Nadiri depicts that exact moment in harmony with the text.
Ottoman perceptions of the Other resulted from social, cultural, and political distancing. While these
distances can be created with the differences in identities, behaviors, battle tactics, they are also collapsed by the
familiarity of ideals of heroism. The Şehname-i Nadiri creates the Other through the characteristics that are most
familiar to the author’s and the audience’s own culture. It draws parallels between the Other and the well-known
historical and fictional figures in the form of vilification and admiration. The textual and visual narratives I have
studied in this paper are strongly partial to the point of view in which they were created. However, even among
such seemingly one-sided accounts, perceptions of the Other are reflected in multi-dimensional ways. They depended on the varying contexts of both the actual events that are being told and the conditions in which these
narratives are created.

Ovaj rad raspravlja o tekstualnom i vizualnom prikazu poljskoga zapovjednika i hetmana (atamana), Stanislawa Żółkiewskog
(u. 1620.), u osmanskoj ilustriranoj povijesnoj knjizi iz ranog 17. stoljeća, Şehname-i Nadiri. Sjećanje na Żółkiewskog učvrstilo
se u poljskoj povijesti njegovim prikazima u slikarstvu i književnosti. Ipak, njegov lik u poznatoj osmanskoj knjizi uvelike je
izbjegao pozornosti znanstvenika. Tekst Şehname-i Nadiri opisuje Żółkiewskog kao mudrog i utjecajnog plemića prije smrti,
zatim pripovijeda o njegovoj slavnoj smrti na bojnom polju žaleći zbog smrti plemića i slaveći osmansku pobjedu. Prikaz
Bitke kod Cecore u istom djelu naglašava njegov visoki čin i nagovještava posljedice njegove smrti. Ovi tekstualni i vizualni
prikazi nude uvid u način prikaza Drugoga u osmanskim povijesnim narativima.
