Document on Buying Gethsemane Garden by Three Brothers from Bosnia in 1681 - Text and Context
Dokument o nakupu vrta Getsemani s strani treh bratov iz Bosne leta 1681 - besedilo in kontekst
Abstract: This paper presents a document datingfrom 1681 (1092 Hijrayear): the document confirms the sale and endowment of fig and olive seedlings as well as the other properties on the land of Madrasa al-Salahiyya in Jerusalem, which was implemented by the means of the so-called al-hikr. The brothers from Sarajevo, Pavle, Jakov and Antun, purchased this particularproperty and bequeathed it to the Franciscan monks who lived in the monastery al- 'Amud (Monastery of the Holy Saviour) inJerusalem and to the poor Christians that required alms. The curious issue in this case is the prevailing opinion of scholars that the space that is the subject of the sale in this document is the space of Gethsemane garden, one of the most important Christian holy sites.
Key words: Gethsemane Garden, brothers Brankovic (Brajkovic), Franciscans, Jerusalem, waqf, Madrasah al-Salahiyya
Povzetek: Članek predstavi dokument iz leta 1681 (1092. leto hidžre): dokument potrjuje prodajo in nadarbino sadik fig in oliv ter druge lastnine zemlje Madrasa al-Salahiyya v Jeruzalemu, ki je bila urejena s takoimenovanim al-hikr. Bratje iz Sarajeva, Pavle, Jakov in Antun, so kupili to zemljo in jo nato zapustili frančiškanskim menihom, ki so živeli v samostanu al-'Amud (samostan Svetega Rešenika) v Jeruzalemu, in ubogim kristjanom, ki so potrebovali miloščino. Pri tem je zanimivo, da večina strokovnjakov meni, da je prostor, ki je predmet pogodbe, vrt Getsemani, eden najpomembnejših krščanskih svetih krajev.

in Jerusalem also meant revival and resettlement of the city. Salahuddin al-'Ayyubi endowed a Sufi hanikah (al-Hanaqah al-Salahiyya) in 1189 /585 AH, a hospital (al-Bimarastan al-Salahi) which became functional only after his death (Frenkel 1999, 5), and a madrasah in the year 1180/575 AH, which was also named after its founder, al-Madrasa al-Salahiyya. Occasionally, this madrasah is also called al-Nasiriyya or al-Salahiyya al-kubra (Ibn Wasil 1957, 407). Salahuddin established it as »a madrasah following the Shafi'i madhab education of scholars (al-fuqaha'), who will reside in it and be devoted only to science and who will be known as those committed to the good (al-ma'rufn bi al-salah)« (al-Subki s.a., 126).
Madrasah al-Salahiyya was situated in the Church of Saint Anne,1 one of the oldest structures which served as a pagan shrine during the Roman period, then as a Byzantine basilica dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of Virgin Mary, and finally as the Catholic Church of St Anne, built by the Crusaders in 1140 (Pringle 2007, 142-156). Some authors believe that Salahuddin turned it into a madrasah, thus returning the original purpose to the structure that had stood there before the church (Pringle 2007, 143). It is possible that the Byzantine basilica was pulled down by the Fatimid caliph al-Hakim in 1009 and that, in its place, there stood a Shafi'i madhab madrasah (al--madhab al-safi i) (Boas 2001, 115) during the period of Seljuq dynasty. In the crypt of the Church of St Anne there is a cave believed to be the birthplace of the Virgin Mary. Even though the building of the Church of St Anne was turned into a madrasah, Christians were permitted to enter the cave underneath it and pray. A document from the records of the Sharia Court in Jerusalem is related to this exact permission. Namely, representatives of the Franciscan Monastery in Jerusalem (Dayr al- 'Amud) complained to Istanbul that, among other things, they and other visitors were charged a fee for entering the cave situated below the garden of the al-Salahiyya madrasah and accessible by stairs, where they performed their prayers, disturbing no one in the process. Witnesses thereto were Sheikh Yasin, Shafi'i Mufti, Muderris and the administrator of the waqf (nazir) of the Madrasah al-Salahiyya who verified the agreement in the purchase document stating that the Brankovic brothers purchased the Gethsemane

As this [purchase] included a pledge14 and insurance from consequences, 15 it is the sellers' duty to offer a guarantee immediately16 as required by Sharia regulations, which was duly performed after a group of Muslims stated that selling the part belonging to persons uncapable of managing the property represented was of benefit and use for these persons, since keeping the above-mentioned part, with it being small and not yielding any income, would not be beneficial for them. This statement was made in accordance with Sharia regulations, the content of which they unanimously confirmed before our esteemed, the above-mentioned Sharia judge, as required by Sharia regulations.
After this was announced and verified following Sharia regulations, the above mentioned brothers Pavle andJakov requested it to be testified that, on their own behalf and, by means of an authorisation, on behalf of their above-mentioned brother Antun, they endowed and exempted, in person and by authorisation, as mentioned above, the property in their own possession, with their shares in it being equal, amounting to the entire above-mentioned subject of purchase clearly described above, in a manner representing valid endowment according to Sharia and indisputable exemption of property in accordance with Sharia regulations, therefore [they requested for it to be testified] that they endowed this waqf in favour of Franciscan friars residing in the al- Amüd monastery in the Holy City of al-Quds, and the Christian poor asking assistance from them. They then handed this over to the authorised representative of the above-mentioned Franciscan friars and their interpreters, having relinquished their ownership of it on their own behalf and on behalf of their above-mentioned brother Antun and having handed it over to the above-mentioned waqf}1 The handover on this occasion was performed in a proper manner according to Sharia regulations, the content of which was unanimously confirmed before our esteemed, the above-mentioned Sharia judge, as required by Sharia regulations, who made a Sharia-valid judgement accordingly, pursuant to the opinion of great scholars holding the described manner

2 Does the subject of the contract include the Grotto of Gethsemane as well?
When discussing the location of the garden of Gethsemane, Arce, probably misreading the document, makes a mistake. He says that »the garden boundaries reach the cave [...] The owners of this cave are Muslih and his nephew/brother's son Dayfullah [.]« He further says that »the Cave - belonging to Muslih and Dayfullah - was excluded from the contract«. (Arce 1971, 11) The cave that the text of the contract refers to was not excluded from the contract. The text, in fact, underlines that the garden also includes a cave (al-mustamala 'ala magara).21 Furthermore, it is not possible to conclude from the very document that the cave owners were Muslih and

Dayfullah. After all, if they were the cave owners and if the cave had been excluded from the purchase contract, how could they appear in the contract as sellers who received 30 groschen? The cave and stone piles were more likely deliberately cited as part of the subject of purchase in order to prevent a possible opposite conclusion. Namely, the subject of waqf or even the disposal of waqf in terms of al-hikr implies something that produces benefit (seedlings, houses, etc.) and, since the cave and stone piles do not belong among things that produce benefit in this sense, it is then underlined that they also belong to the purchased plot of land.
2.1 The object of the sale
It is well known that regulations on waqf do not allow replacement or sale of waqf property, except in a case of a necessary or more adequate replacement. Even in such cases, the sale is performed by the mutevelli (al-mutawalli) or nazir (al-nazir) of the waqf. This document does not state that the waqf property is to be replaced; in addition, the sellers are individuals, not the waqf nazir or mutevelli. This raises the following question: How could something belonging to a waqf be sold before the Sharia court in Jerusalem, or what kind of sale is it? To answer the question, it is important to look closely at a provision in the document stating that the subject of sale are »all the seedlings of fig and olive and other things planted in the garden (al-hakura), which remain subject to the decision according to which it belongs to the endowment of the al- alâhiyya madrasah« (min gami ' garas al-tin wa al-zaytun wa gayrih al-qa 'im 'usuluh bi al-hakura al-gariqararuha fi waqf al-madrasa al-Salahiyya).22 This begs another question: how could the orchards planted on the land belonging to the waqf be sold as private property, with the land itself or the garden (al-hakura) remaining in the ownership of the waqf of the al-Salahiyya madrasah? It is quite certain that the waqf land was treated in the spirit of al-hikr.23 Pursuant to al-hikr regulations, land belonging to the waqf may
22	Line 23 in the text of the document (hugga), Archivium Custodiae Terrae Sanctae, Jerusalem, Scaf X, N. 9. Arce does not pay any particular attention to this provision and his translation of it is somewhat arbitrary: »Y como dicho huerto pertenecía desde antiguo a la Sala iyya o iglesia de Santa Ana, asi quedará para siempre.« (And since the garden has for ages belonged to Salahijja or the Church of Saint Anne, thus it shall remain forevermore.) (Arce 1971, 9)
23	This form of managing waqf property turned out to be detrimental for the waqf property itself. Leasing out waqf property for building or planting fruits or similar things eventually turned into

73
be leased out for a long period for building and planting crops or fruits, where an agreement is made for a substantial amount of money to be paid at the very beginning and for smaller amounts of lease to be paid annually. Furthermore, the period for which the land is leased out has to be agreed on as well. Some believe that the period and the use of waqf land for building and planting do not have to be defined and can, rather, be unlimited.24
This way of managing waqf property in the end turned out to be detrimental for waqf and often represented misappropriation of waqf property. In the case of purchasing the Gethsemane garden, there is no mention of the period for which the waqf property was given out in the spirit of al--hikr, which, taking into account the position of the most permissive legal experts, could even be acceptable. It could be that this issue was regulated by another document or that it was some sort of »legal resourcefulness« which did not make the sale of waqf property apparently definitive, as the garden itself remained de jure in the ownership of the waqf of madrasah al-Salahiyya, while the orchards planted in it were sold to other persons who, in turn, bequeathed them for different purposes. Records of the Sharia court in Jerusalem list the cases of managing the property of madrasah al- alahiyya in terms of al-hikr. Land belonging to the waqf of this madrasah was leased out for the purpose of planting fruits or for construction where, at the same time, the beneficiary of such right could sell his lease, or »benefit« (manafi'), to another person.25
We could not find any other sources or literature in Arabic, apart from the document in question, that pay attention to the purchase of the Gethsemane garden by the Brankovic brothers or even mention it or the
possessing the same land. How close long-term lease was to a factual sale of property can best be testified to by the fact that a part of Gethsemane land ('aradi al-Gismaniyya) from the waqf of madrasah al-Sala iyya was leased out to the Jewish community as a graveyard (see Rabaya'a 2008, 112). In the year 967 AH, before the Sharia court in Jerusalem, a contract was made on the price of leasing out the Gethsemane land ('ara i al- ismaniyya) for »burying Jews who lived in Jerusalem«, defining that the amount of lease was one hundred Cypriot gold dinars for »every Arabic lunar year« (li kull sana hilaliyya 'arabiyya).

disagreement it caused on the part of authorities or Jerusalem dignitaries. The reason behind it can be that the sale of seedlings and other things in terms of al-hikr was considered quite common, where Muslims themselves did not regard this place as one of their holy ones. Furthermore, the buyers were Ottoman subjects and could, as such, much easier have been in a position to legally perform the purchase. It is not insignificant that they came to Jerusalem in the accompaniment of representatives of Bosnian Franciscan friars, who represented the »local church institution« because »in the heart of the Turkish Balkans, in the territory between Belgrade and Istanbul, the Franciscan Province of Bosna Argentina was the only Catholic institution tolerated by Turkish authorities« (Toth 2002, 181).
2.2 The buyers, the Brankovic (Brajkovic) brothers
Brothers Pavle, Jakov and Antun from Sarajevo, as the buyers of the Gethsemane garden, are usually mentioned under the family name of Brankovic. It is evident from some sources, as we will see below, that they actually posed as the Brankovic family, while their original family name was Brajkovic. Introducing themselves under the name of Brankovic, they wanted to show that they belonged to the old noble Brankovic lineage, aspiring to receive from Vienna the title of nobility of the old Brankovic family, together with all the privileges related to such a title (Lujic 211, 5). The purchase of the Gethsemane garden, where they introduced themselves under the name Brankovic, and the confirmation they were issued by a general of the Franciscan order, enabled them to document and authenticise the family name of Brankovic, and to get a credible document in this regard (Fermendzin 1892, 517). Going under the name of Brankovic, they would, by historic coincidence, at a later stage find themselves in the Balkans and Austria in a role they had never even dreamed of.
According to one of the interpretations, the Brankovic brothers came to Jerusalem as pilgrims to the Holy Sepulchre and that the Custos of the Custody of the Holy Land, Fr. Sormanus, made them knights of the Holy Sepulchre and they then purchased the Gethsemane garden out of gratitude (Klaic 1914, 73). The Register of the knights of the Holy Sepulchre reads that, on 4th April 1681, Generosus Dns Paulus Augustini Brancouich Saraibia ex Bosna Arg.na and Generosus Dns Iacobus Augustini Brancouich Saraibia ex Bosna Argentina were made the knights of the

Holy Sepulchre and that, on 10th May of the same year, the same title was bestowed on Nobilis Dominus Antonius Augustini Brancouich Saraibia ex Bosna Argentina, as represented by his older brother Pavle.26 Pavle and Jakov, the two brothers who were present at the purchase, received their knighthood of the Holy Sepulchre before they purchased the garden and endowed it, while Antun, who did not come with them to Jerusalem, was granted the same title, as represented by his brother Pavle, after the purchase.
Fra Mihajlo Radnic (Fra Mihaylo Radnich Baganin)27 refers to brothers Pavle, Jakov and Antun as Brajkovic. While he was the custodian of the Province of Bosna Argentina, Radnic published a book entitled Pogargegne izpraz-nosti odsviyeta [Denunciation of the Vanity of the World] in Rome in 1683. At the beginning of the book, the cover page of which says »Sloxeno i izuageno u Iezik Slouinsky Bosansky« [Compiled and made in the Slavic Bosnian language], he wrote an inscription to the three brothers: »To my most exalted and illustrious gentlemen, Pavle, Antun and Jakov Brajkovic, Augustinovic, birth brothers from Sarajevo, Bosnia noblemen and knights of the honourable sepulchre ofJesus Christ ofJerusalem D.D.« (PRIVZVISCENOY, I PRISVITLOY MOIOY GOSPODI PAVLV, ANTVNV, IAKOVV, BRAYKOVICHEM, AGVSTYNOVICHEM, BRATHI ROGENOY, SARAYLIAMI, PLEMICHEM BOSANSKYEM I VITEZOVOM SLAVNOGA GROBA ISSVKARSTOVA OD IERVZOLIMA. D. D.) (Radnich Baganin 1683, 2)
That the brothers' family name was not Brankovic can be testified to by a fact relating to the relationship between Ritter Vitezovic (1652-1713) and the Brankovic brothers. Namely, Vitezovic was rather helpful to the Brankovic brothers when they came to Vienna in 1688. They aspired

His name is often written as Mihovil, iven in Hrvatski franjevački biografski leksikon, there are two entries about fra Radnic, one after another, with the same data: RADNIC (BACANIN, UZUM), Mihovil, provincijal (Kaloča, 1636-Budim, 26.IX.1707) i RADNIC, Mihajlo, provincijal, pisac (Kaloča, 1636. -Budim, 26.IX.1707).

to obtain the Brankovic title of nobility and Vitezovic, being someone who studied genealogy and heraldry of noble families, helped them. However, their relationship went wrong when Pavle, the eldest of the Brankovic brothers, did not give his consent to Vitezovic to marry his daughter Marija. In the beginning they explained that she was too young but it turned out they were not willing to give her hand to Vitezovic because he was just a plain nobleman. Thus in 1694, six years after the Brankovic brothers were granted the right to use the title of count, Ivan - Pavle's son - wrote a lengthy letter to the bishop of Zagreb, Selisevic, explaining that Vitezovic »initially approved without any objection and obliged himself to work through the documentation about their lineage they gave him to read; and now, when they refuse to give him Marija's hand in marriage, he calumniated them saying that they shrouded themselves in a false name and took the credit for Christianity that was not theirs to take« (Klaic 1914, 91). In order to support the claim that his family was indeed the Brankovic family, Ivan Brankovic says in the same letter that »during Turkish rule, in order to conceal their origin and avoid Turkish persecution, they used patronymic surnames, especially his father and uncles took the paternal name of Augustinovic (Augustinovichpaterno nomine) after their grandfather Augustin but they always knew that they were of the Brankovic lineage« (Klaic 1914, 91-92).
2.3 The Brankovic brothers vs Count Dorde Brankovic
There was another Brankovic who, at around the same time as the Brajkovic/Brankovic brothers, presented himself as a descendant of the medieval nobility family of Brankovic. It was Dorde Brankovic (16451711), of a distinguished Orthodox family from Ineau in Arad County, who represented the ruler of Transylvania at the Ottoman Porte. In 1673, he secretly delivered a submission to the Austrian emperor in which he rather ambitiously stated that, at a convenient moment, he could lead Serbs, or even other Christians, as well, to subjugate Hungarian insubor-dinates and form some sort of an Austrian military borderland towards Turkish territories. (Radonic 1911, 180-185)
Since during the Great Turkish War Austria welcomed any assistance, Leopold I bestowed on Dorde Brankovic the title of baron in 1683 and, on 20th September 1688, the title of count as well. Dorde

77
Brankovic's ambitions and plans were quite unrealistic. In addition to requesting that a number of estates in southern Hungary be restituted to him as an heir to Despot Brankovic (Radonic 1911, 334), he also presented plans according to which he would be the ruler of a great Illyrian state to be established in the Balkans. Moreover, he participated in the negotiations between Wallachia and Russia. After his ambitions began to disrupt the Austrian plans in the Balkans, Leopold I summoned him to Vienna in 1689 and put him under house arrest, where he remained until his death.
The Bosnian Brankovics were not as ambitious as Dorde Brankovic. Still, according to Jablanovic, they felt the time was right for them to capitalise on their reputation and request their right to a title of nobility. It was the time following the Turkish defeat at Vienna, the fall of Buda, Turkish defeat at Mohacs, in Baranya, Backa, Slavonia and elsewhere, when it seemed that the Turks would soon be defeated in the Balkans as well (1931, 66).
The Bosnian Brankovics appeared at a perfect moment for Vienna. On the one hand, Leopold I welcomed their appearance as an argument proving that unreliable Dorde Brankovic was a false pretender to a title of nobility and, at the same time, the Emperor used the Bosnian Brankovics, primarily Pavle Brankovic, as those who could use their despotic family name to replace unreliable Dorde Brankovic in the Balkans. (Radonic 1939, 518-519)
Did Leopold I really count on the Bosnian Brankovics as someone who could at a certain moment be accepted by the Serbs and substitute Dorde Brankovic as heirs to Despot Brankovic? According to Taloci, this was Vienna's intention precisely: »to unmask the other Brankovic and to inform the Serbs, they sent the eldest brother, Pavle, to the Kladovo camp of Louis of Baden-Baden, with a warm recommendation« (1899, 80-81). On 29th October 1689, count Dorde Brankovic was arrested in the Kladovo camp of the Prince of Baden-Baden, from where he was escorted to detention in Vienna (Radonic 1939, 395-396). In this regard, Leopold I conferred a diploma for merits on the Brankovic family, Pavle and his brothers Jakov and Antun and their sons Ivan, August and Franjo, with guarantees that, following the conquest of Bosnia, they would be granted their positions and estates, which is very indicative. Immediately after this, the diploma reads that the Serb Patriarch was free to control all eastern churches of Greek rite, to anoint episcopes, deploy priests to monasteries, to build

churches by virtue of his power where necessary, to position priests: in short, to exert church power across Greece, Rascia, Bulgaria, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Ineu and Herzegovina, as well as in Hungary and Croatia, where they can be found.28
The content of this diploma is somewhat odd, as it consists of an acknowledgement and guarantees to the Bosnian Brankovic family, and of guarantees given to the Serb Patriarch regarding his powers. The focus here is on the guarantee of the Serb Patriarch's jurisdiction in Hungary and Croatia. A possible interpretation of such contents of the diploma could be that there was an attempt to portray the Bosnian Brankovics as protectors or guardians of Serb interests, as intermediaries instrumental in spreading the church power of the Serb Patriarch in Hungary and Croatia, at the cost of complete suppression of, by now only symbolic, presence of count Borde Brankovic.
In a study related to the church union at the Croatian military border, drawing attention to this diploma, Schwicker says the following: »Emperor Leopold wanted to use the protection he was to offer to Serbs as a pledge of Serbian loyalty to the imperial cause so, on 21st August 1690, he issued an official privilege approving the requests made on 18th June, with these guarantees being reemphasised two days later in an acknowledgement to Serb notables Pavle, Antun and Jakov Brankovic« (Schwicker 1875, 283-284). It is interesting that Schwicker refers to the Brankovic brothers as Serb notables (die serbichen Notabeln).
The authorities in Vienna still worked on discrediting Borde Brankovic as a false pretender, using the Bosnian Brankovics for this purpose. For instance, in a deed29 that Leopold I gave to Augustin Brankovic (a son of one of the buyers of the Gethsemane garden) on 18 December 1703, confirming that the Bosnian Brankovics were heirs to the despotic lineage, Borde Brankovic is called a schismatic, renegade from the Catholic Church (schismaticum, et ab ecclesia Catolica alienum) and »a fictitious Brankovic«

29	Vitkovic 1875, 194-198.

(fictitium Brancovich).30 The first of these two designations of »Orthodox« Brankovic evidently comes from the »Uniate Church discourse«.31
The absence of Borde Brankovic's political power was now, on the Serb part, compensated by a symbolical power arising from his invoking the background of the old despotic lineage. Thus, a letter that the Pakrac Orthodox bishop, Sovronije Podgoricanin, wrote to despot Borde Brankovic on 6th December 1704, says that a self-proclaimed and false Brankovic - most likely referring to Augustin - used political flattery »to win our help for his intentions« and that he sent to the Emperor »a memorial worthy of his imperial highness« expressing his loyalty to one despot alone.
Considering all mentioned data relating to the strife of the Bosnian Brankovics, on the one hand, and that of Serbian Borde Brankovic on the other, to prove they were heirs to the despotic Brankovic lineage, as well as all the disputes that included their personal participation or that of various other elements, and considering that the context they found themselves in was rather serious, the following data can justly be called historiographic irony. Namely, the Bojnicic list of Croat and Slavonian noblemen reads that, on 23rd October 1688, Emperor Leopold I conferred the title of count on »Borde Brankovic and his sons Pavle, Anton and Jakov« (»Grafestand [...] fur Georg Brankovich u. fur seine Sohne Paul, Anton u.Jakob«) (Bojnicic 1899, 21).32
