Narrative of Travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa in the Seventeenth Century

This two-volume English translation of part of a longer narrative by the Ottoman Evliya Celebi (1611-c.1680) was published in 1834. It offers a fascinating assemblage of topics varying from the fountains of Istanbul to a journey to Georgia. Volume 2 includes Celebi's description of the 1645 siege of Canea.
