sefaretname
A general report on his mission submitted by an Ottoman envoy on his return to Istanbul, perhaps modelled on the Venetian relazione. They were rare before the late seventeenth century. Such reports (alternatively known as sefaret takriri) were required more insistently during the eighteenth century as the Porte became anxious for intelligence on developments in Europe, especially in the spheres of military and naval technology, science, and industry. About 50 sefaretnames survive, though all are in Ottoman Turkish save for the one in French written by Mahmoud Raif Efendi, chief secretary of the first permanent Ottoman ambassador to Britain, who was appointed by Selim III in 1793. |
