其他摘要:In the centuries of conflict between the Ottoman Empire and various European states,polemical manuscripts, pamphlets and books on Turkish topics were common in Europe.Some texts reappeared at intervals, adapted to different circumstances. A certain categoryconsisted of texts that were allegedly written by the Ottoman sultan himself. This paper dealswith one such text, which proclaims to be an instruction from the sultan to his subjects onceremonies and processions to be performed in order to please Allah. Variations of this textappeared in 1686–87, 1697–98 and 1716–17, in manuscripts and printed pamphlets indifferent languages. It was translated into Russian twice: in 1697 and 1716. The 1697translation was only recently discovered among documents from Peter I’s Grand Embassy.This paper examines the textual relationships between the versions that appeared in differentdecades and their historical contexts, and contains an edition of the previously unpublished1697 Russian translation.
