      ab: This article explores the extraordinary journey of Ilyas ibn Hanna al-Mawsuli (Reverend Ilyas/Elias), a late seventeenth-century Ottoman traveler, to the Spanish Americas. Spending eight years in the Spanish colonies with special permission from the Spanish court, Ilyas narrated remarkable experiences during his travels through the Caribbean, Venezuela, Peru, and New Spain. The article primarily focuses on this narrative as it relates to extraordinary encounters with fantastic beasts and creatures, and how these encounters contribute to emerging conceptions of race. It thus addresses crucial issues: first, the colonial discourse within the traveler's narrative; second, the intercultural colonial imagination shaped by the Amerindians, Europeans, and Ottomans; and third, the traveler's subaltern identity in the Ottoman Empire, which is reimagined via global Catholicism, leading to his endeavor toward the "Ottomanization" of the Spanish Empire's colonial domain. This research ultimately suggests that the traveler's colonial discourse contributed to the formation and codification of race in the early modern era.
