AN IMPORTANT PORTRAIT AS PRESENTED BY EVLİYA ÇELEBİ: ABDAL KHAN OF BİTLİS
Abstract :
This articles aims at investigating Abdal Khan, Khan of Bitlis, whose life was detailed in the travelbook of Evliya Çelebi. I primarily summarized Evliya’s narrative of Abdal Khan and then focused on Khan’s personal characteristics, skills and his political and cultural portrait in general. I dealt with the Khan who was a very important figure in many terms along with perceptions of him in Evliya Çelebi. Evliya’s narrative of Abdal Khan is not a simple biography of him but also a historical-literary device for an understanding of local politics and dynamics of the region.
