- Abstract
Throughout history, human beings have felt the need to explore unknown places of the world, see distant countries, and recognize and promote new people and new places for various purposes. Especially the West has always wondered about Eastern civilization, and the East has always wondered about Western civilization. As a result of this curiosity, many works in the form of travelogues were written both in Western and Eastern civilizations. Approaching the issue in the context of ancient Turkey-Romania relations, it is seen that Romanian travelers, poets, writers, or diplomats wrote some travel books, embassies, and travel diaries in the 19th century. The travelogues, embassies, and travel diaries of travelers who traveled from Romania to the East, that is, to Ottoman geography, are important works that provide detailed information about the East. Among these works, poet, statesman, and traveler Dimitrie Bolintineanu's Travelogue and his poem series Bosphorus Flowers, which he wrote with the influence of Eastern culture, stand out. In his Travelogue, D. Bolintineanu described the Ottoman geography with different impressions on many aspects compared to his contemporaries who traveled to the East. However, D. Bolintineanu, who visited Sultan Abdulmejid with the Romanian delegation that came to Istanbul in 1860, recorded this visit in detail in his Travelogue. Therefore, this article will discuss Romanian travelers who visited the Ottoman country in the nineteenth century, D. Bolintineanu's Anatolian trip in the Travelogue, the visit of the Romanian delegation to Sultan Abdulmejid in 1860, and, consequently, Romanian-Ottoman relations in the 19th century.
