The Chronicle of Mustafa Naima describes the events in the Ottoman Empire of 1593-1660. Many of them concern Ukraine, because the Ottomans considered it a dangerous borderland. This book contains and translated into Ukrainian messages about events in the Khotinshchina, Ochakovshchina and Budzhak, about the relations of the Ottomans with the Crimean Khanate and Crimean Tatars, and finally about the Ukrainian Cossacks. Translators sought to convey the subtleties of the sophisticated Ottoman narrative as fully as possible, and special studios will help the reader better understand its explicit and hidden meanings.
