Özet
Ortaçağda bilinen dünyadan hareketle bilinmeyen dünyanın gizemlerini keşfeden
seyyahların vücuda getirdikleri seyahatnameler tarih ilminin önemli kaynakları arasında yer alır.
14. Yüzyılda yaşamış olan ve aslında Fransız asıllı ruhban sınıfına mensup olan Omer Jean le Lonc
kendisini İngiliz asıllı bir şövalye olarak gösterip, Sir John Mandeville takma adıyla Avrupa’dan
Ortadoğu’ya seyahat ettiğini iddia etmiş, gittiğini iddia ettiği Anadolu, Suriye, Kudüs, Hindistan
ve Moğolistan bölgelerinin hususiyetleri ve buralarda yaşayan halkların karakterleri hakkında
bilgiler vermiştir. Ortaçağda seyahatname toplayıcısı olarak bilinen Omer Jean, aslında gittiğini
belirttiği bu bölgelere seyahat etmemiş, gerçekten bu bölgelere gitmiş olan seyyahların
seyahatnamelerinden alıntılarda bulunarak seyahatnamesini oluşturmuştur. En çok istifade ettiği
kaynak ise Odoric Pordenone’un [1286-1331] seyahatnamesidir. İşin enteresan tarafıysa, o
zamana kadar çok da popüler olamayan Odoric Pordenone’un bu çalışması Sir John Mandeville
sayesinde daha da bilinir olmuştur. Omer Jean le Lonc, takma adıyla Mandeville, vücuda getirdiği
bu çalışmasını Avrupa’dan Ortadoğu’ya gidecek olanlar için bir seyahat rehberi tarzında
hazırlamış, takip edilmesi gereken kısa ve uzun yolların avantajları ve dezavantajları itinayla
belirtilmiştir. Eserde akla yatkın olaylar kadar, aklın sınırını zorlayan hikâyeler kayda değer yer
eder. Özellikle Moğollar, Memlûk Türk Devleti ve Avrupa’nın mitsel kahramanı olan Prester John
ve ülkesi hakkındaki tasvirler bir hayli ilgi çekicidir
The travelogues written by the travellers who discovered the mysteries of the unkown world in the Middle Ages, are among the important sources of the history of science. Omer Jean le Lonc, who lived in the 14th century and was originally a member of the French proselytic clergy, claimed that he had traveled from Europe to the Middle East by pretending as an English Knight under the nickname of Sir John Mandeville and he informed about Anatolia, Syria, Jerusalem, India, Mongolia, and the characteristics of the people living there. In Fact, Omer, known as the travelogue collector, never travelled to the regions that he had claimed to, but he had written his book depending on the real travellers works. The main source that he has utulized is the travels of Odoric Pordenone [1286-1331]. Interestingly, Odoric Pordenone's work, which was not very popular until then, has become even better known by Sir John Mandeville. Omer Jean le Lonc prepared his travels in the form of a travel guide for those who would travel from Europe to the Middle East and he has carefully described the advantages and the disadvantages of the short and long routes which must be followed. As well as plausible events, there are also so many unreasonable stories in the book. Especially the descriptions about Mogol, Mamluk Turkish State and Europe's mythical hero Prester John and his country are the interesting parts of the travelogue
