Abstract

The aim of this article is to introduce Najm al-Dīn al-Ghazzī’s (d. 1061/1651) Istanbul travelogue, which until recently was considered to be lost, as a new primary source for the examination of early modern Ottoman history. As an eminent Shāfi‘ī professor-mufti in Damascus, Najm al-Dīn traveled to Istanbul in 1623 with the intention of petitioning the Imperial Council to regain his teaching position that he had lost to a rival local scholar. His journey took him four and a half months, during which time he penned an account in the form of a travelogue, adhering to the literary conventions established by previous Arab travelers. This article examines the content of the autograph copy of the travelogue highlighting Najm al-Dīn’s views on cities, architectural structures, individuals, and significant socio-political events in Damascus, Istanbul, and other Anatolian towns on his way. It also scrutinizes Najm al-Dīn’s narrative strategies throughout the travelogue, including his use of language and poetic composition as well as inclusion of dream and fortune-telling anecdotes. This article also considers the relationship between Najm al-Dīn’s work and previous Arabic travelogues to highlight continuities and divergences, as well as new information provided. Najm al-Dīn’s travelogue offers a vivid description of Anatolian towns in the early seventeenth century. It also provides insight into the multi-faceted imperial factionalism in Istanbul in the post-Osman II (d. 1031/1622) period. Furthermore, the narrative elements within the travelogue shed light on the mindset and vision of an early modern provincial Shāfi‘ī professor-mufti in the Ottoman center.

Dımaşklı Bir Şâfiî Müderris-Müftünün İstanbul Serüveni: Necmeddin el-Gazzî’nin Seyahatnamesi (1032/1623)

Abstract

Bu makale Necmeddin el-Gazzî’nin (ö. 1061/1651) yakın bir tarihe kadar kayıp olduğu düşünülen İstanbul seyahatnamesini erken modern Osmanlı tarihi için yeni bir kaynak olarak tanıtmayı amaçlamaktadır. Dımaşk’ta saygın bir Şâfiî müderris-müftü olan Necmeddin, müderrisi olduğu medresenin başka bir yerel âlime verilmesi üzerine 1623 tarihinde İstanbul’a seyahat etti. Toplamda dört buçuk ay süren bu seyahatin ardından, önceki Arap seyyahların seyahatnameleri tarafından oluşturulan yazım geleneğini dikkate alarak bir seyahatname kaleme aldı. Bu çalışma söz konusu seyahatnemenin müellif nüshasına odaklanarak Necmeddin’in Dımaşk, İstanbul ve yolu üzerinde bulunan Anadolu şehirlerindeki mekanlar, mimarî yapılar, kişiler ve önemli siyasi-sosyal olaylar hakkındaki mülahazalarını incelemektedir. Ayrıca Necmeddin’in seyahatnamesindeki kelime seçimi, şiirler, rüya ve fal anekdotları gibi anlatı unsurlarını değerlendirmektedir. Çalışma, önceki Arapça seyahatnamelere ve mevcut Osmanlı araştırmalarına atıfta bulunarak, Necmeddin’in seyahatnamesi için tarihsel bağlam oluşturmakta ve bu kaynağın sunduğu yeni bilgilerin altını çizmektedir. Necmeddin’in seyahat anlatısı, dönemin Anadolu şehirlerinin canlı bir tasvirini sunmakta ve II. Osman’ın (ö. 1031/1622) katli akabinde İstanbul’da yükselişe geçen hizip mücadelelerine yeni bir pencereden bakmaya imkân vermektedir. Ayrıca, seyahatnamedeki anlatı unsurları on yedinci yüzyılın ilk yarısında Osmanlı merkezini ziyaret eden bir Şâfiî eyalet müftüsünün zihniyeti ve bakış açısı hakkında önemli ipuçları sunmaktadır.
