Evliya Çelebi is the greatest travel writer of the Ottoman Empire. Born in Istanbul in 1611, he started travelling in 1640 and continued for over forty years, stopping eventually in Cairo where he died in about 1685. He collected his lively and eclectic observations into a ten-volume manuscript the Seyahatname, or Book of Travels. For the first time in English, this selection gives a taste of the breadth of Evliya's interests: from architecture to natural history, through religion, politi, linguisti, music, science and the supernatural. While he made over a thousand complete recitations of the Koran in his lifetime, he also wrote with curiosity about Christianity, about his own impotence, about the anti at a world convention of trapeze artists and the feats of a Kurdish sorcerer who conjured a horse from a log pile.

This book is only a selection of Celebi's travelogue. I was particularly interested in what he had to say about the (mostly Christian) minorities within the Ottoman Empire. To my disappointment in these selections he doesn't say much. The Ottomans ruled over a vast empire and gave little thought to the conquered masses in the Balkans other than extracting tribute (taxes) so I shouldn't have been surprised. As the Ottomans didn't mind a religious dispute perhaps Celebi had more to say in the others parts of his travelogue that isn't translated in this volume.In the 10 volumes of his Seyahatname, he describes the following journeys:1. Constantinople and surrounding areas (1630)2. Anatolia, the Caucasus, Crete and Azerbaijan (1640)3. Syria, Palestine, Armenia and Rumelia (1648)4. Eastern Anatolia, Iraq, and Iran (1655)5. Russia and the Balkans (1656)6. Military Campaigns in Hungary (1663/64)7. Austria, the Crimea, and the Caucasus for the second time (1664)8. Greece and then the Crimea and Rumelia for the second time (1667–1670)9. the Hajj to Mecca (1671)10. Egypt and the Sudan (1672)
