Abstract

Marinos Sariyannis, A Forged Source for the 1821 Massacres in Thessa­loniki: Avraam N. Papazoglou's ‘‘Hayrullah Efendi’’

The ‘‘Book of travels’’ by a certain Hayrullah Efendi, judge of Thessaloniki in 1821, is one of the main sources used by modern historians on this period of the history of the city. The paper seeks to prove that this source, translated in 1940 by Avraam N. Papazoglou, is manifestly his own fabrication: neither Hayrullah nor his manuscript appear in any other source or study, there are several chronological, style and other mistakes and contradictions. Moreover, Papazoglou seems to have often forged or altered sources in his other articles as well.
