"Johann Michael Wansleben's Travels in Turkey, 1673-1676 is a hitherto unpublished version of a remarkable description of Istanbul, Izmir, and Bursa by the German scholar traveller Wansleben. Wansleben was in the Ottoman Empire to buy manuscripts, statuary, and curios for the French king, but it is his off-hand observations about Ottoman society that often make Wansleben's account such a valuable historical source. His experiences add to our knowledge of such diverse topics as prostitution in the Ottoman Empire, taxation, and the French consular system. His visit to Bursa is also noteworthy because few Western travellers included the first Ottoman capital in their tours of the East or described it at such length"--
Note:
The journal continued in a French manuscript at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS n.a.f 4193. Far shorter than the Egyptian journal, the Turkish journal covers his travels in Turkey and the Greek Archipelago from 1673 to his return to France in 1676--Galley
