Osman Aga of Temeşvar ((トルコ語:Temeşvarlı Osman Ağa); 1670–1725) was an Ottoman army officer and one of the few Turkish-language autobiographers of the era. More important than that, he was a prisoner of war and he wrote mostly about his adventures in Habsburg Austria which makes the autobiography the sole Ottoman Turkish example of its kind. ==Life== Osman was born into a family of South Slavic origin in Temeşvar (Timişoara), Temeşvar Eyalet (in modern western Romania). He spoke Serbo-Croatian. Temesvár was inhabited by Romanians, Serbs and Hungarians, and had been conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1552. Osman Aga was a low-ranking army officer in Temesvár. He excelled in learning foreign languages and equitation. After the unsuccessful siege of Vienna in 1683, the tide turned and the Holy League of European nations began forcing the Ottomans out of Hungary in the Great Turkish War between 1683–1699. In his works, he noted the "uprisal of the Serb rayah";〔 he mentioned that the Serbs of the region rose up when the Austrian general Valis took Segedin on October 20, 1686. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Osman Aga of Temesvar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
