Anatolian Cities and the Ottomans

在这个项目中，它旨在调查安纳托利亚内陆城市的政治和经济状况，例如Sogut， Bilecik， Yenisehir和Bursa，在奥斯曼帝国的早期，旨在明确城市与奥斯曼人之间的关系。研究者在研究过程中发现，安纳托利亚沿海城市在奥斯曼帝国的早期历史中发挥了重要作用。因此，研究人员试图研究16世纪一位奥斯曼海军上将编纂的Kitab-i bah - riya中所描述的安纳托利亚沿海城市的历史状况。之所以选择这本书进行调查，是因为它是唯一一本可以通过水手的眼睛了解沿海城市的书。研究范围从西北安纳托利亚海岸扩大到西南和南安纳托利亚海岸，以便从正确的角度处理这个问题。对Kitdb-i Baφriya的全面调查显示，它对从南阿尼亚到阿亚斯（Yumurtalik）的爱琴海和地中海沿岸地区有具体的描述，其中对南阿尼亚、卡利德巴φr、伊兹密尔、福卡和阿拉尼亚的描述最有趣。我们可以看到，早期的奥斯曼人对这些地区有着浓厚的兴趣。虽然这一问题尚未得到令人满意的解决，但在该项目的报告中，对有关城市的描述作了日文翻译，并作了说明，以便进行更密切的调查。

In this project it was intended to investigate the political and economical conditions of the Anatolian inland cities, for example Sogut, Bilecik, Yenisehir and Bursa, in the early period of the Ottoman Empire aiming at making clear the relationship between the cities and the Ottomans. The investigator found in the course of the study that Anatolian coastal cities had played an important role in the early periods of the Ottoman history.So the investigator tried to study the historical cdndition of the Anatolian coastal cities described in the Kitab-i Baφriya compiled by an Ottoman admiral in the 16^<th> century. The reason why this book was chosen for the investigation is that it is one and only book from which we can get information on the coastal cities through the eyes of mariners. The area of the study was expanded from the northwestern Anatolian coast to the southwestem and southern Anatolian coast in order to deal with the problem in its right perspective.A general survey on the Kitdb-i Baφriya shows us that it has concrete descriptions on the Aegean and Mediterranean coastal area from Sul--aniya to Ayas (Yumurtalik), and that there are most interesting descriptions on Sul--aniya, Kalid al-Baφr, Izmir, Foca and Alanya. We see that the Ottomans in their earlier periods had strong interest on these areas.Although the problem has not been resolved satisfactorily, in the report of this project a Japanese translation of the descriptions on the cities concerned and notes were made for the means of closer investigation.
