Under the Turk in Constantinople

Note 189 — Chapter XIII · THE STOOL OF REPENTANCE

Reading edition

Besides Finch’s “Account,” see his despatch of Nov. 29, S.V. 1677; Rycaut’s Memoirs, p. 335; Vandal’s Nointel, p. 230; Life of Dudley North, p. 74. If we are to believe the version of the incident transmitted by the Imperial Resident Kindsberg, Nointel’s exit was still more dramatic: two chaoushes flung him down from the Soffah, shouting to him, “Haide, kalk giaour” (Off with you, infidel), Hammer, vol. xii. p. 8.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
