	SEYAHATNAME: EVLIYA CELEBI
		Evliya Celebi, born on March 25, 1611 in Istanbul, was the son of Dervis Mehmed Zilli, the chief jewellery designer of the Ottoman palace.
		After spending the winter of 1647 in Erzurum, Evliya Celebi was assigned the duty of gathering forces and carrying messages when the Ottoman state was dealing with the Vardar Ali Pasa revolt, one of the many in Anatolia the Ottomans faced in the 17th century.
		Evliya Celebi put down on paper not only what he witnessed and heard, but tried to illustrate the progress mankind had achieved in every field up to that time.

		Evliya's description of Bitlis and his frank admiration for its Kurdish ruler, Abdal Han, were the subject of earlier studies by Köhler (1928), Sakisian (1937) and van Bruinessen 1992[1978].
