“…Between 19,000 and 16,000 BP the Sahara-Sahel climate belt extended about 300 km farther south than at present (Talbot 1983), while this boundary was 500-600 km north of its present location around 7000 BP, during the Holocene African Humid Period (also referred to as the Holocene Pluvial Period or the Holocene wet phase; Neumann 1989). The African Humid Period is sometimes characterized as the 'Green Sahara,' with the region nearly completely vegetated and with several large and small lakes and wetlands, which at 6000 BP covered an area about ten times larger than presently (Hoelzmann et al 1998).…”

“…Th e absence of harsh solemnity, of the kind observed at sultanic audiences, might produce the idea, that the whole grand vizierial reception ceremony was designed as a welcome-party, or as aptly noted before, 'an introduction to the basic rituals of business' at the Ottoman central court. 44 Similar as they were to the audiences with the Ottoman provincial governors, receptions staged by the (deputy) grand viziers still had something of their own to off er: it was the inevitable step to surmount in order to arrange the audience with the sultan. And, as has been argued, this seems to be the very quality that set the grand vizierial audience apart from its European counterparts.…”

Grand viziers acted as the utmost important fi gure in the Ottoman bureaucratic administration throughout the early modern era. Conducting relations with foreign countries and, hence, conforming to the rules of an established diplomatic practice in the process were among their duties. Th e present study, therefore, aims at highlighting the underrated procedure of grand vizierial audiences through selected cases from the fi rst half of the seventeenth century. In this respect, dispatches and fi nal reports of certain representatives of major European monarchs in Istanbul are brought to light along with complementary data from Ottoman fi scal records of the time. Th e reception of foreign diplomats by the grand vizier-which presents its own intricacies and follows its own set of rules-is hence laid under scrutiny to understand how a physical language of diplomacy was created. Accordingly, welcoming receptions by the grand viziers will be studied instead of focusing on the negotiation audiences between the grand viziers and the incoming embassies. Comparisons with the imperial audiences will also be useful both in underlining the diff erentiation of this physical language from the one employed in the audiences with the sultan and also in evaluating the diplomatic function of the grand vizier within the framework of Ottoman foreign relations. In this respect, the fi rst receptions by the grand vizier were intended to welcome foreign embassies and played a crucial part in their diplomatic mission since the date for the sultanic audience was arranged herein. Moreover, exchange of gifts between the grand vizier and the emissaries, serving of refreshments and avoidance of any politically consequential issue during the meeting were the main elements of the grand vizierial receptions.
