Note 482 — THE TRAVELS OF BERTRANDON DE LA BROCQUIÈRE. (continued 2)
Reading edition
An error. The general council that took place a little before he came to Constantinople was that of Basil in 1431, when, far from anathematising and cursing the Greeks, it was occupied about their reunion. This pretended malediction was undoubtedly a report, which those who were against this reunion spread abroad in Constantinople; and the traveller seems to have thought so by the expression "it was told me."
