- For its ability to educate and entertain, Evliya Çelebi's
Book of Travels was popular with literate members
of the Ottoman community. The popularity of the much earlier
Thousand and One Nights, covered in "The Rise
of Islam and Islamic Literature" (see
pages 1566–1618 volume B), may also have been
due to this double function.
- Shortly after Evliya Çelebi's began his Book
of Travels, John Milton began Paradise Lost,
covered in "The Renaissance in Europe" (see
pages 2996–3060 in volume C).
