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.

这里提出的项目想要第一次调查关于俄罗斯皇后凯瑟琳娜二世(在位1762-96年)的官方大使馆的姓氏，这是奥斯曼帝国总理穆斯塔法·拉希(1804/05去世)代表苏丹塞利姆三世(在位1789-1807)从1792年底到1794年2月进行的。该项目的目的是(1)对文件(版本和翻译)进行文献学分析，(2)回答奥斯曼帝国的权力精英可以从其中收集多少信息的问题。这需要(3)在奥斯曼帝国和俄罗斯关系的背景下，将该报告嵌入18世纪的封建名称的历史中。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：幻想家、改革者、欧洲使者)联系在一起。
