İbrahim Peçevi

İbrahim Peçevi

İbrahim Peçevi or Peçuyli İbrahim Efendi (1572 — 1650) was a historian (chronicler) of the Ottoman Empire. He was born in Pécs, Hungary, hence his name, Peçevi ("from Pécs"). His mother was of Sokollu (Sokolović) Bosnian Serb family. The name of father is unknown.

He was a provincial official in many places and became a historian after his retirement in 1641.

Peçevi Efendi is famous for his two-volume book "Tarih-i Peçevi" ("Pecevi's History") of the history of the Ottoman Empire, the main reference for the period 1520—1640. The information about older events Peçevi took from previous works and narrations of veterans. His times are described firsthand and from tales of witnesses. In best traditions of Muslim scholars, Peçevi carefully references all quotations. Peçevi also was one of the first Ottoman historians who used European written sources; he makes references, e.g., to Hungarian historians.
