The Seyahatname as a First-Person Narrative

Öz

Evliya’s position in Ottoman cultural history is unique. For in the 17th century, when travel accounts were rare and first-person narratives seldom encountered outside of a limited number of religious scholars, Evliya who despite a good education was not a scholar, integrated his life story into a massive ten-volume travelogue. The present study analyzes Evliya’s narrative in terms of three major concepts. First in line is his devotion to travel as a way of living one’s life, followed by loyalty to the Ottoman dynasty. As for the third factor, a determinant during at least certain years of Evliya’s life, we identify him as a member of a provincial notable family, who achieved a certain status in Istanbul. To establish and protect this position, the con- nections of the author and his father to the person and court of Murad IV were de- cisive. Even so, when Evliya briefly summarized his life story after an adventurous trip aiming to find the sources of the Nile, these worldly concerns faded into the background, when compared to the protection of the Deity that the traveler believed had never abandoned him.
