Summary

An online exhibition and educational resource about the Ottoman era.

Description

The Book of Travels is a collaboration between the British Council, Maslaha and Effusion as part of the Our Shared Europe project, which aims to highlight the constant influence and sharing of ideas that has occurred between individuals and societies.

In the 17th Century an Ottoman traveller – Evliya Celebi – was inspired by a dream to embark on a journey across the Ottoman Empire. He travelled far and wide across Europe and North Africa and wrote extensively about his adventures in Seyahatname – ‘Book of Travels.’

Explore this exhibition online and discover these travels, of both people and ideas across time and space, through the eyes of Evliya, Lady Mary Montagu, Jean de Thevenot and other adventurers.

These are stories of constant conversations and exchanges between the Ottoman Empire and Europe, through trade in coffee, music, medicine, architecture, and stories of far off but not so distant lands.
