Now Evliya's account of this expedition commences in the month Of Mohar rem 1059, from which it may be supposed that he had just returned from Mecca, where the annual ceremonies of the pilgrimage take place in Zilhijeh, the last month of the year. He states that he was just in time, after his return from Mecca through Egypt, to share in the glory of the victory gained by Murteza Pasha over the Druzes, in the year 1059. There is no question, however, as to the time at which it was undertaken, since in his account of the reign of Sultan Murad IV. Of this pilgrimage no account is given in our manuscript copy, as it seems he died before he had completed the work. Excerpt from Narrative of Travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in the Seventeenth Century He returned with the same despatch to Damascus, whence he set out on his pilgrimage to Mecca, through Egypt. The narrative highlights the private side of this public figure - his weaknesses as well as his heroics his religious life and domestic affairs - in particular, his relations with his two successive wives, both sultanas or princesses.Paperback. Because Celebi was Pasha's confidant as well as his protege, there is a level of intimacy, almost a psychological portrait, quite unusual in Ottoman and Islamic literature. He concentrates on the later phase of Pasha's career, beginning with his appointment as Grand Vizier in 1650. His wry comments and observations extend from the intimate details of daily life, and the attitudes of the lower classes, to the deeds of the mighty, the ideals of the age, and the fate of the empire. Robert Dankoff has culled passages from Evliya Celebi's Book of Travels that deal directly with the life and times of Celebi's patron, Melek Ahmed Pasha, an outstanding seventeenth-century military and administrative leader.Ĭelebi's account is sensitive to all the currents of his age and reflects them in his narrative.
