This two-volume English translation of part of a longer travel
narrative by the Ottoman aristocrat Evliya Celebi (1611-c.1680) was
translated by the Austrian scholar Joseph von Hammer (1774-1856)
and published in 1834 by the Oriental Translation Fund of Great
Britain and Ireland, set up to make 'Eastern' texts more widely
available in English. Celebi was highly educated, had served the
Ottoman court both as a diplomat and as a soldier, and as he says,
had in his travels 'seen the countries of eighteen monarchs and
heard 147 different languages'. His lifetime encompassed the
highest point of Ottoman expansion into Europe, and his
indefatigable curiosity about everything he saw makes this work a
fascinating assemblage of topics varying from the fountains of
Istanbul to a journey to Georgia. Volume 1 includes a short
biography of Celebi and accounts of the history and architecture of
his native city.
