Note 153 — Chapter IV · Ibrahim the General

Petchevi and Kemalpashazadeh are the contemporary Turkish narrators of the campaign. Petchevi takes his account from his grandfather, who was an eye witness of Mohacz. Kemalpashazadeh was sheik‐ul‐Islam under Suleiman and writes an account that is at once that of poet and courtier, but should be fairly accurate as to the movements of the army. The Monumenta Hungariae Historica (Pest, 1857), vol. i, gives some Hungarian comment on the events. Solakzadeh and Abdurrahman Sheref give second‐hand reports, while Leopold von Kupelwieser has excellent volumes on the subject entitled “Die Kämpfe Oesterreichs mit den Osmanen.” (Wien and Leipzig, 1899).
