An Overview of the Ottoman travelogues of the sixteenth century

Abstract

It will not be wrong to state that there are insufficient studies on Ottoman travelogues. We have neither an orderly catalogue, nor a complete list of these travelogues. This problem will remain until we have complete catalogues of the collections in our libraries. This article constitutes an attempt to fill a part of this gap on the basis of the available literature and information by giving an overview of the Ottoman travelogues of the sixteenth century.
