brought home with me When I found occasion I used to look upon some Maps which I carried with me whereat Osman Chiaus smiled saying there is no depending upon Maps they set down only great Towns and often falsely Chiauses are able to make the best Maps who pass their Days in travelling Countries and take notice of all Places and know their Turkish Names and in many particulars I found some truth in his Words for the Maps of Hungary are not exact those of Servia Bulgaria Macedonia and Thessaly very imperfect In upper Hungary many Towns are omitted many ill-placed in the lower also not a few The Danube seems to fetch about too much to the South-west before the Tibiscus enters into it In Servi● Hissargick is placed too far from the Danube which runnes by it I find no mention of Procupia or Vrchoop of Lescoa or Lescovia considerable Towns the last upon the winding River Liperizza nor of Kaplanly or Tigres Town in Macedonia nor of Kupruly or Bridge-Town nor of Vrania Pyrlipe Comonava Eccisso Verbeni nor of the Lake Petriski and Ostreva not far from it nor of Egribugia Sariggiole Sarvizza nor of the River Injecora near it nor of Alesson nor Tornova in Thessaly a handsome considerable City And he that travels in Macedonia will never be able to reconcile the Positions of Rivers and Towns to their usual Descriptions in Maps although not long ago there have been large ones published of Greece I took great pleasure to converse with Chiauses especially if they were of any years for they speak divers Languages and have seen much of the World are commonly good Company and able to give account of many things Osman Chi●us who travelled with us was about fifty years of Age spake Turkish Sclavonian and Italian a stout and faithful honest Person very cleanly and neat he told me he had travelled the greatest part of Turky and growing old seated himself in Buda as a Chiaus to the Visier which place pleased him better than any in Turky he took a civil farewel of me at Buda bringing me out of the Gates and with many a Dios wished me a happy return into my Country and indeed in all my Journey I met with fair carriage and civil usage when I came into any Room where the Turks were sitting they would salute me and touching my hand require me to sit down with them then offer me Coffee and sometimes Tabaco and at Meals invite me to eat heartily only in some places the Boys and meaner sort of People would call me Sashtlu gaur or haired Infidel And a Jew at Larissa whom I had employed to buy some little things for me and I saying they were too dear gave me some ill Language which so displeased some that were by that if the Grand Seignior had not been in person in the Town they would have taught him other manners The Turks took much Tabaco in the Countries which I passed and many carried little bags thereof by their sides which they take in pipes of an ell long made of an hard reed and an earthen head at the end laying one end on the ground and holding the other in their mouthes I did seldom take any but to comply with their kindness I would not refuse it and by reason of the length of the pipe it was cool and less disturbing they take it also often in snuff Seignior Gabriel the Emperor's Courier would tell them many stories and while he was speaking they would come about him and listen very attentively and he would pull out his snuff-box and put snuff-powder into their noses which they would take very kindly They would be always gazing upon the Emperor's Armes cut in a Stone which he wore upon his breast whereupon he would take occasion to magnifie the Emperor describe the multitude of Provinces subject unto him and any thing that might confer unto his honour whereof they would take great notice I liked well the neatness and cleanliness of the Turks which we conversed with and their washing of their feet hands and faces though they had some purifying conceit thereof while we travelled the Chiaus at the fight of a Spring or clear water would often alight and wash himself and every morning was very curious in winding up his Turbant and combing of his beard and would ask me whether it were well done When they go to the house of office they carry a pitcher of water with them they affect privacy when they make water which they perform resting upon one knee and stretching out the other leg Walking in Larissa with the Chiaus the Streets being narrow and full of people and remembring the sad fate of Vincent le Blanc who lost his liberty besides other misfortunes for pissing over a Turkish Saints head who lay interred in a place he little suspected I asked him where I might make water without offence who answered me grumblingly at first but afterwards directed me to a place and stood at a little distance to secure me from any affront And at another time while I travelled in an open Calesche or Chariot by Moon-light I made water over one side thereof to avoid being troublesome to the rest in ingaging them to stay for me till I alighted and went aside or retard their journey in the night but one who layed down by my feet took notice of it to me with a great deal of regret and and though out of the respect he professed to bear me he was resolved not to divulge it Yet he wondered I would venture the loss of my credit in such a matter Some experience we had in our return of the Turkish Justice at Egribugia in Macedonia for travelling from Sariggiole over high Rocks we met with a Turkish Aga before our arrival who having a numerous train had taken up all the Horses at Egribugia so that we could not be readily supplied and therefore intended to ride our Horses another Stage the way laying now in the Plain and our Horses strong and able we set forward on the same Horses but before we were got out of the Town we were stopped and carried before the Cadih by the Post-master who alledged against us that we were injurious unto him in that we passed by without taking Horses at his House he being allowed by the Grand Seignior whose Servant he is so much for every Horse he provides and that none was to provide Horses in that place but himself so that he was damnified and had no profit coming unto him The Cadih therefore considering of the business and sitting cross-legged upon his Carpet and leaning his elbow upon four or five Folio Books which he had by him commanded his Servants to fill every one a dish of Coffee The Chiaus in our defence urged that we had business of concern that we had the Chaymacham's Letters and were employed from the Grand Seignior to the Emperor of Germany that he himself was a Chiaus to the Vis●er of Buda whither he was

would be much surprized to find such a notable one here as may compare with them especially upon the extreme Borders of the Learned part of Europe The number and nobleness of the Books doth much exceed the receptacle or place which contains them as making no fair shew at the entrance and somewhat wanting light But as for the number and value of the Books they are of opinion here that it yields unto none but rather excels any other Library in Europe There was a place designed for the building of a fit receptacle for them but I know not how a Theatre for Comedies is now built in that place It is divided into eight Chambers or Rooms which are so well filled that many Books are fain to lie upon the Floor and the Shelves stand so close that there is but just room to pass between them The Manuscripts stand distinct from the printed Books according to their Languages being divided into six Classes Theological Juridical Medical Philosophical Historical Philological There can scarce be a more admirable Collection than the Manuscripts in part of the first Chamber of Hebrew Syriack Arabick Turkish Armenian Aethiopick and Chinese Books It was begun at least the Books began to be placed in this receptacle by Maximilian the First but hath been much encreased by succeeding Emperors most of them since Rodolphus the First being much addicted unto Learning there having been large accessions from many noble Libraries and most upon the cost of the Emperors The choicest Books in the famous Library of Buda of King Matthias Corvinus Son unto Huniades are now in it The notable Library of Wolfgangus Lazius who was Library-Keeper was brought hither and Three thousand Books of Johannes Sambucus are now in this Repository Augerius Bushequius sometime Library-Keeper hereof added much unto it and in his two Turkish Embassies procured a great number of noble Greek Manuscripts at Constantinople which are inscribed with his own hand Aug. de Busbeck emit Constantinopoli A great many were added from the Library of the Learned Johannes Cuspinianus Library Keeper and Councellor unto the Emperor The notable Libraries and Mathematical Instruments of Tycho Brahe Kepler and Gassendus were purchased for it But the largest accession was made by the noble Library of Count Fugger which consisting of sixteen thousand Volumes was purchased by Ferdinand the Third Many were brought some few years past from the Ambrasian Library by Inspruck by the Learned Petrus Lambecius Library-keeper Historiographer and Councellor unto the present Emperor who hath also an excellent Library which is like to be added unto the Imperial He then reckoned the Volumes in this great Library to amount at least to Fourscore thousand and by this time that number may be increased for he adds some yearly And the number might almost be endless if they would make use of their privilege for the Emperor ● at h a right to have two Books of all that are printed in Germany They have also a great advantage at Vienna to acquire good Manuscripts from the Turkish Dominions for the Emperor is obliged to have a Resident with the Grand Sei●nior wheresoever he moves or orders him to be even at the last fight of St. Godart the Emperor 's Resident was in the Turkish Camp And when I was at Larissa in Thessaly the Resident Signor de Casa Nova was inquisitive after Books to be found among the Greeks in Monasteries and other places And this Emperor like his Father will spare no cost toward such Acquiries By the especial favour of my noble Friend Lambecius I went many times into this Library and he was so courteous as to let me have what Books I desired unto my private Lodging He would shew me divers Books upon what Subject I required and offered me a sight of what Books he thought rare and estimable and amongst others I could not but take notice of these following A Letter of the present Emperor of China in the Chinese and Tartarian Languages unto the present Emperor of Germany weaved in a very fine Roll. Another old Roll written in unknown Letters yet a little resembling the Greek A Book in the Runick Language A very fair Manuscript of Ptolomy with the Maps drawn in Colours The oldest Manuscript and true Exemplar of Livy in large Letters without distinction of Words or Sentences very uneasie to be read a thousand years old and brought not many years since from the Library near Inspruck An old fair Greek Manuscript of Dioscorides written eleven hundred years since in very large Letters without distance of Words or Accents wherein all the Plants are lively painted also the Pictures of Dioscorides Galen Pamphilus Cratevas and other ancient Physicians bought of a Jew at Constantinople for an hundred Ducats by Busbequius A Book of Geometrical Propositions demonstrated in the China Language Another fair one in the China Tongue with Pictures A noble old Greek Manuscript in great uncial Letters without stops points or distance of words An ancient Greek Manuscript of the Book of Genesis in large Letters without distance or accents thirteen hundred years ago wherein are Forty eight Pictures or Draughts in Miniature or Water-colours much conducing to the knowledge of ancient Habits the manner of Feasting postures at Meals waiting of Servants and Musical Instruments Wherein I could not but take notice of the Golden Spot upon Joseph's breast and the manner of the Execution of Pharaoh's Baker his head being put through a forked piece of wood and his Hands tyed behind him A fair Book of Albert Durer wherein are many fine Paintings in Miniature or Limning as also a Sphere and within it a Globe carved and painted by him A fair Book of Michael Angelo wherein besides many rare things in Architecture are all the paintings and designs of the Belvedere in little A fair Alcoran in Arabick interlined with the Turkish to explain it The Bible in the Coptick and Persian Languages Luther's own Bible marked with his own Hand and interlined by him with Notes in many places A fair Greek Manuscript of the New Testament fifteen hundred years ago written in Letters of Gold upon Purple There was also a Magical Glass obtained by the Emperor Rodolphus whereby to see Appariti●ns and converse with Spirits which some conceive to be the same or of the like nature with that used by Kelly Of ancient Greek Roman and Gothick Medals and Coyns in Gold Silver and Copper to the number of sixteen thousand Among the Copper Coyns they pretend to have two of the Emperor Marcus Otho I let fall some Drops into this Ocean adding some Coyns Intaglia's and Inscriptions not to be found in that large work of Gruterus which having found in the Emperors further Dominions and Turkish parts long out of his possession where there had been no great enquiry after them were shewed unto his Imperial Majesty by Petrus Lambecius and so well accepted by him that he said I might have the use of what Books
