Özet

XIX. yüzyılın başlarında Mısır, Filistin ve Ürdün üzerinden Suriye’ye gelen İngiliz Oryantalist James Silk Buckingham'ın Travels in Mesopotamia adlı seyahatnamesi, Osmanlı Devleti’nin güney vilayetleriyle ilgili oldukça önemli bilgiler ihtiva etmektedir. James Silk Buckingham, 4 Haziran 1816 tarihinde geldiği Urfa şehrinden başlayarak Diyarbakır, Mardin, Musul, Kifri ve Bağdat şehirlerini ziyaret etmiştir. XIX. yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti sınırları ve yönetiminde bulunan Mezopotamya bölgesindeki bu şehirler hakkında yapmış olduğu gözlem ve değerlendirmeler oldukça dikkat çekicidir. Buckingham’ın şehirlerin tasviri, konumları, nüfusu, etnik yapısı, inançları, ticari ve ekonomik durumları, pazarları, sosyo-kültürel yapıları, askerî varlıkları, savunmaları ve idarî yapılarıyla ilgili oryantalist bakış açısıyla yaptığı gözlem ve değerlendirmeler bölgenin tarihi açısından önemlidir. Çalışmamızda James Silk Buckingham'ın seyahatnamesinde, Mezopotamya’da bulunan şehirler hakkında verdiği bilgileri değerlendirmeye çalıştık.
