2 There is one single entry for “Enver Pasha” in the book’s index and it refers to two passages. One of them is on page 119, and obviously about Ismail Enver Pasha: “The connection of the paper [Journal of the Society of Ottoman Artists] with the notion of progress had overt political connotations, affiliating it with the Committee for Union and Progress which had led the Second Constitutional Revolution. The repeated emphasis on copying from nature in discussions of aesthetics strengthened this association with scientific endeavor. Indeed, the initiator of the organization (The Society of Ottoman Artists], Mehmed Ruhi, worked at the mansion of the party leader Enver Pasha, and painted his portrait there.” The other one is the passage about Celile Hikmet, her father, and her son Nâzim Hikmet, mentioned here by name, on page 137.
