Literary Aspects of Antun Vrančić’s Travelogue Iter Buda Hadrianopolim
Iter Buda Hadrianopolim is a travelogue written by the Croatian humanist Antun Vrančić (1504-1573), in which the author describes his diplomatic journey that took place in 1553. Although his final destination was Constantinople, the travelogue has been preserved fragmentarily, covering the section from Buda to present day Turkish city of Edirne. During his journey, Vrančić had the opportunity to see a large number of cities, forts, villages, rivers and mountains. Numerous digressions and descriptions, especially of the customs of people, and interpretations of toponyms, hydronyms and oronyms make this travelogue very interesting. The aim of this paper is to review Iter Buda Hadrianopolim as a literary work, and to show that although it lacks the description of the last leg of the journey, this travelogue contains most of the key elements of the travelogue literary genre (the narrator who states the time and place of the journey, a specified reason for the journey and the person who commissioned it, a specific itinerary, digressions, educational elements, narrative and descriptive passages), so it can undoubtedly be counted as a real, non-fictional travelogue.
