قومان

اتحاد القومان والقپچاق في أوراسيا، حوالي سنة 1200

القومان (Cumans ؛ پولوڤتسي Polovtsi) كانوا شعب بدوي رحال توركي[1][2][3][4]:116 يتألف من الفرع الغربي من اتحاد القومان-القپچاق. وبعد الغزو المنغولي (1237)، طلب الكثير منهم اللجوء في المجر،[5] كما أن عددا مماثلاً من القومان كان قد استقر في المجر وبلغاريا والأناضول قبل الغزو.[6][7]:2[8]:283

ولقرابتهم للپچنگ,[9] فقد استوطنوا منطقة متنقلة شمال البحر الأسود وبحذى نهر ڤولگا تـُعرف بإسم قومانيا، حيث تدخل القومان-القپچاق في سياسة القوقاز والدولة الخوارزمية.[7]:7 وكان القومان مقاتلين أشداء مرهوبي الجانب في سهوب أوراسيا ، وكان لهم أثر باقٍ على البلقان القروسطي.[10]:116[11] وكان تعدادهم كبير وثقافتهم متقدمة وجيوشهم قوية.[12]:13

وفي آخر الأمر استقر عدد كبير منهم غرب البحر الأسود، فأثروا على سياسات روس الكييڤية، إمارة گاليسيا-ڤولهينيا، خانية القبيل الذهبي، الامبراطورية البلغارية الثانية، مملكة صربيا ومملكة المجر ومولداڤيا، مملكة جورجيا، الامبراطورية البيزنطية، امبراطورية نيقيا، و الامبراطورية اللاتينية ووالاخيا، من خلال المهاجرين القومان الذين اندمجوا في نخبة كل من تلك الدول.[8]:281 كما لعب القومان دوراً بارزاً في الحملة الصليبية الرابعة وفي إنشاء الامبراطورية البلغارية الثانية.[7][13]:50 اتحدت قبائل القومان والقپچاق سياسياً لتشكل اتحاد القومان-قپچاق.[12]:7

لغة القومان مذكورة في بعض الوثائق القروسطية وهي من أشهر اللغات التوركية المبكرة.[4]:186 Codex Cumanicus كان مرجعاً لغوياً كـُتـِب لمساعدة المنصرين الكاثوليك في التواصل مع شعب القومان.

الأداة الأساسية للنجاح السياسي للقومان كان القوة العسكرية، التي سيطرت على كل من الفصائل المتناحرة في البلقان. استقرت جماعات القومان واختلطت مع السكان المحليين في أرجاء البلقان، وأسس المستوطنون القومان ثلاث أسر حاكمة بلغارية متتالية (Asenids وTerterids و Shishmanids) وأسرة ولاخية (البسارابيين);[7]:2[8]:279[13]:51[14][15] إلا أنه في حالات الأسر الحاكمة من البساراب والآسن، فإن وثائق العصور الوسطى تشير إليهم بأنهم أسر حاكمة من الڤلاخ (الرومانيين).[16][17]

أسماء وأصولها

The original meaning of the endonym Cuman is unknown. It is also often unclear whether a particular name refers to the Cumans alone, or to both them and the Kipchaks, as the two tribes often lived side by side.[7]:6 However, in Turkic languages qu, qun, qūn, quman or qoman means "pale, sallow, cream coloured", "pale yellow", or "yellowish grey".[21]:51[22] While it is normally assumed that the name referred to the Cumans's hair, Imre Baski – a prominent Turkologist – has suggested that it may have other origins, including:

  • the color of the Cumans' horses (i.e. cream tones are found among Central Asian breeds such as the Akhal-Teke);
  • a traditional water vessel, known as a quman, or;
  • a Turkic word for "force" or "power".[23]

In East Slavic languages and Polish, they are known as the Polovtsy, derived from the Slavic root *polvъ "pale; light yellow; blonde".[24][25]:43 Polovtsy or Polovec is often said to be derived from the Old East Slavic polovŭ (половъ) "yellow; pale" by the Russians – all meaning "blond".[25] The old Ukrainian word polovtsy (Пóловці), derived from polovo "straw" – means "blond, pale yellow". The western Cumans, or Polovtsy, were also called Sorochinetses by the Rus', – apparently derived from the Turkic sary chechle "yellow-haired". A similar etymology may have been at work in the name of the Sary people, who also migrated westward ahead of the Qun.[26][استشهاد ناقص] However, according to O. Suleymenov polovtsy may come from a Slavic word for "blue-eyed", i.e. the Serbo-Croatian plȃv (пла̑в) means "blue",[27] but this word also means "fair, blonde" and is in fact a cognate of the above; cf. Eastern Slavic polovŭ, Russian polóvyj (поло́вый), Ukrainian polovýj (полови́й).[28] An alternative etymology of Polovtsy is also possible: the Slavic root *pȍlje "field" (cf. Russian póle), which would therefore imply that Polovtsy were "men of the field" or "men of the steppe".

In Germanic languages, the Cumans were called Folban, Vallani or Valwe – all derivations of old Germanic words for "pale".[4]:106 In the German account by Adam of Bremen, and in Matthaios of Edessa, the Cumans were referred to as the "Blond Ones".[24]

The Hungarian term for the Cumans is Kun (also Qoun; Kunok), which in Old Hungarian meant "nomad", but was later applied solely to the Cumans.[29]

As stated above, it is unknown whether the name Kipchak referred only to the Kipchaks proper, or to the Cumans as well. The two tribes eventually fused, lived together and probably exchanged weaponry, culture and languages; the Cumans encompassed the western half of the confederation, while the Kipchaks and (presumably) the Kangli/Kankalis (a ruling clan of the Pechenegs) encompassed the eastern half.[7]:6The word Kipchak is said to be derived from the Iranian words kip "red; blonde" and cak/chak "Scythian".[30] This confederation and their living together may have made it difficult for historians to write exclusively about either nation.

The member clans of the Cumans and/or Kipchaks were: the Terteroba (Ter'trobichi), Etioba/Ietioba, Kay, Itogli, Kochoba (meaning "Ram Clan"), Urosoba, El'Borili, Kangarogli, Andjogli, Durut, Djartan, Karabirkli, Kotan/Hotan, Kulabaogli, Olelric, Altunopa ("Gold Clan"), Toksobychi, Burchevychi, Ulashevichi (Ulash-oghlu), Chitieevichi, Elobichi, Kolabichi, Etebichi, Yeltunovychi, Yetebychi, Berish, Olperliuve (Olperlu), Emiakovie (Yemek), Phalagi, Olberli, Toksobichi or Toqsoba (meaning either "plump leather bottle" or "nine clans"), Borchol or Burdjogli ("Pepper Sons"), Csertan or Curtan ("pike"), Olas or Ulas ("union; federation"), Kor or Kol ("little; few"), Ilunesuk ("little snake") and Koncsog. The latter seven clans eventually settled in Hungary.[8]:280, 511[21]

The ethnic origins of the Cumanians are uncertain.[20]:30[8]:279[31][need quotation to verify] The Cumans were reported to have had blond hair, fair skin and blue eyes (which set them apart from other groups and later puzzled historians),[13]:36[25]:43[32] although their anthropological characteristics suggest that their geographical origin might be in Inner-Asia, South-Siberia, or (as Istvan Vassary postulates) east of the large bend of the Yellow River in China.[6][7][33][34] Robert Wolff states that it is conjectured[ممن؟] that ethnically the Cumans may not originally have been Turkic.[35]:199 The Roman natural philosopher Pliny the Elder (who lived in the 1st century AD), in describing the "Gates of Caucasus" (Derbent, or Darial Gorge), mentions "a fortress, the name of which is Cumania, erected for the purpose of preventing the passage of the innumerable tribes that lay beyond".[36] The Greek philosopher Strabo (died ح. 24 AD) refers to the Darial Gorge (also known as the Iberian Gates or the Caucasian Gates) as Porta Caucasica and Porta Cumana.[37] The writings of al Marwazi (c. 1120) state that the "Qun" people (as the Cumans were called in Hungary) came from the northern Chinese borders – "the land of Qitay" (possibly during a part of a migration from further east). After leaving the lands of the Khitans (possibly due to Kitai expansion[35]:199), they entered the territory of the Shari/Sari people. Marwazi wrote that the Qun were Nestorian Christians.[38]

It cannot be established whether the Cumans conquered the Kipchaks or whether they simply represent the western mass of largely Kipchak-Turkic speaking tribes. A "victim" of the Cuman migration to the west was the Kimek Khanate (743-1220), which dissolved but then regrouped under Kipchak-Cuman leadership.[بحاجة لمصدر] Due to this, Kimek tribal elements were represented amongst the Cuman-Kipchaks. The Syrian historian Yaqut (1179–1229) also mentions the Qun in The Dictionary of Countries, where he notes that "(the sixth iqlim) begins where the meridian shadow of the equinox is seven, six-tenths, and one-sixth of one-tenth of a foot. Its end exceeds its beginning by only one foot. It begins in the homeland of the Qani, Qun, Khirkhiz, Kimak, at-Tagazgaz, the lands of the Turkomans, Fārāb, and the country of the Khazars."[8]:279[39] The Armenian historian, Matthew of Edessa (died 1144), also mentioned the Cumans, using the name χartešk (khartes, meaning "blond", "pale", "fair").[40]:173[41]

The Cumans entered the grasslands of the present-day southern Russian steppe in the 11th century AD and went on to assault the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Principality of Pereyaslavl and Kievan Rus'. The Cumans' entry into the area pressed the Oghuz Turks to shift west, which in turn caused the Pechenegs to move to the west of the Dnieper River.[4]:186 Cuman and Rus' attacks contributed to the departure of the Oghuz from the steppes north of the Black Sea.[4]:114 The Cumans first entered the Bugeac (Bessarabia) at some point around 1068–1078. They launched a joint expedition with the Pechenegs against Adrianople in 1078. During that same year the Cumans were also fighting the Rus'.[4]:116 The Russian Primary Chronicle mentions Yemek Cumans who were active in the region of Volga Bulgaria.[8]:279, 282

The vast territory of the Cuman-Kipchak realm consisted of loosely connected tribal units that represented a dominant military force but were never politically united by a strong central power; the khans acted on their own initiative. The Cuman-Kipchaks never established a state, instead forming a Cuman-Kipchak confederation (Cumania/Desht-i Qipchaq/Zemlja Poloveckaja(Polovcian Land)/Pole Poloveckoe(Polovcian Plain),[7]:7 التي امتدت من الدانوب في الغرب إلى Taraz, قزخستان في الشرق.[8]:283 This was possibly due to their facing no prolonged threat before the Mongol invasion, and it may have either prolonged their existence or quickened their destruction.[42] Robert Wolff states that it was discipline and cohesion that permitted the Cuman-Kipchaks to conquer such a vast territory.[35]:201 al-Idrīsī states that Cumania got its name from the city of Cumania; he wrote, "From the city of Khazaria to the city of Kirait is 25 miles. From there to Cumanie, which has given its name to the Cumans, it is 25 miles; this city is called Black Cumania. From the city of Black Cumania to the city of Tmutorakan (MaTlUqa), which is called White Cumania, it is 50 miles. White Cumania is a large inhabited city...Indeed, in this fifth part of the seventh section there is the northern part of the land of Russia and the northern part of the land of Cumania...In this sixth part there is a description of the land of Inner Cumania and parts of the land of Bulgaria."[43]

الدين

The Cumans practiced Shamanism and Tengrism. Their belief system had animistic and shamanistic elements; they celebrated the cult of ancestors and provided the dead with objects whose lavishness paralleled the recipient's social rank.

Codex Cumanicus

The Codex Cumanicus, which was written by Italian merchants and German missionaries between 1294 and 1356,[40]:173 was a linguistic manual for the Turkic Cuman language of the Middle Ages, designed to help Catholic missionaries communicate with the Cumans.[44] It consisted of a Latin-Persian-Cuman glossary, grammar observations, lists of consumer goods and Cuman riddles.[40]:176[44]
