@article{2018,title={THE RESEARCHES OF OGIER GHISELIN DE BUSBECQ IN THE OTTOMAN STATE},abstractNode={The Ottoman-Habsburg relations began in the 15th century and intensified during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent after the conquest of Ungarn because the Ottoman Empire became the border neighbor of Austria. Ferdinand I., the Austrian Archduke, sent ambassadors to Istanbul many times. Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, one of these ambassadors, came to Istanbul as the permanent ambassador of I. Ferdinand at the beginning of 1555 and lived here until the signing of the peace treaty between Ottomans and Habsburgs in 1562. Busbecq did not only accomplish his diplomatic missions by conducting peace negotiations, but also played an active role in other areas. His curious personality, intellectuality and the large territories and multinational structure of the Ottoman State led him to conduct various research both in scientific and culturel field. He found near Ankara the Monument “Res Gestae Divi Augusti" including the deeds of Emperor Augustus. He rediscovered the language of the Crimean Goths, which was about to disappear. He found a copy of Materia Medica, the medical book of Dioskorides, an ancient doctor. For the first time, Busbecq introduced many flowers and medicinal herbs such as tulips, lilacs, sweet sedge and animal species to Europe. Busbecq studied the religion, language, culture and tradition of many peoples of the Ottoman Empire, especially of the Turks, and thus caused that Europe could know these peoples. The researches of Busbecq in various fields, especially in botany, medicine, zoology, numismatics, philology, archeology, classical epigraphy, contributed greatly to the development of these sciences.},author={Yusuf Yıldız},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
