About this person

Born Dervish Mehmed Zillî on 25 March 1611, he earned the honorific Çelebi - "gentleman" or "man of God" - and spent four decades on the road. He traveled through Ottoman Turkey during its cultural zenith and pushed into neighboring lands, filling his Seyahatnâme ("Book of Travel") with commentary as he went. The travelogue became his monument: a vast, restless chronicle of a world in motion, narrated by someone who refused to stay still. He died in 1682, somewhere along the routes he'd traced.
