The here presented project wants to investigate for the first time a sefaret-name about an official embassy to the court of the Russian empress Katharina II (reigned 1762-96) which the Ottoman chancellor Mustafa Rasih (died 1804/05) conducted on behalf of Sultan Selim III. (reigned 1789-1807) from the end of 1792 until February 1794. The project aims at (1) philologically analyzing the document (edition and translation) and (2) answering the question how much information the Ottoman power elite could gather from it. This requires (3) an embedding of the report into the history of the sefaret-names during the 18th century against the backdrop of the Ottoman-Russian relations. Last, but not least, (4) the text has to be linked with the contemporary multicultural society (keywords: Phanariots, reformers, European emissaries) in Istanbul.

这里展示的项目想要首次调查一个秘密名称，关于俄罗斯皇后卡塔琳娜二世（1762-96年在位）宫廷的官方大使馆，这是奥斯曼总理穆斯塔法·拉西（死于1804/05年）代表苏丹塞利姆三世进行的。（1789-1807年在位）从1792年底到1794年2月。该项目旨在(1)对该文件进行语言学分析（版本和翻译），(2)回答奥斯曼帝国权力精英可以从中收集多少信息的问题。这需要(3)将报告嵌入到18世纪奥斯曼-俄罗斯关系背景下的秘密名称的历史中。最后，但并非最不重要的是，(4)文本必须与伊斯坦布尔的当代多元文化社会（关键词：法纳罗派，改革者，欧洲使者）联系起来。
