An Annotated Bibliography Attempt-2: 5th -10th Century Travelers and Their Travelogues That Give Information About Turkic Peoples

Summary/Abstract: The date interval, which is met with the term Early Medieval in Western historiography and approximately coinciding with the 5th to 10th centuries, is an important time period not only for medieval Turkish history, but also for world history. During this time period, the Migration of Tribes, which will shape the ethnic face of Europe, started with the migration of the Hunnic Turks to the west and the European Hun State, whose borders extended from the Balkans to the English Channel, was established in Europe. Shortly after this, the Göktürks, the first Turkish state with the Turkish name in history, whose borders extended from Manchuria in Asia to the Crimea in Europe, was established. The date range that is the subject of the research is also the date range when the Turks first encountered the religion of Islam. In this research, it has been tried to examine the travelogues, which are the main source in history studies. Although travelogues are among the important sources in terms of history, they have not received the value they deserve until recently. With this study, it has been tried to give brief information about the travelogues and their authors that give information about Turkic peoples between the 5th and 10th centuries, and at least it is aimed to create a starting point for researchers who will work in this field in the future.
