F. Babinger, Die Geschichtsschreiber der Osmanen und ihre Werte (Leipzig, 1927), pp. 322 - 37, hereafter cited as GOW; and for a much fuller account, F. R. Unat, Osmanli Sefirieri or Sefarenameleri (Ankara, 1968). A few of these texts have been translated (see Babinger, li. cit.); the best and most recent are the annotated German versions published by R. F. Kreutel in his series, Osmanische Geschichtsschreiber (Graz, 1955 ff). On European diplomacy in Istanbul, see B. Spuler, "Die europ?ische Diplomatie in Konstantinopel bis zum Frieden von Belgrad (1739)," Jahrbücher für Kultur und Geschichte der Slaven, 11 (1935), 53 - 115: 171 - 222, 313 - 366; idem, "Europ?ische Diplomaten in Konstantinopel bis zum Frieden von Belgrad (1739)," Jahrbücher

with some variations in the text. The book was first published in Paris and Istanbul with a French translation as Relation de l'embassade de Mehmet Efendi à la cour de France en 1721 écrite par Iwi méme et traduit par Julien Galland (Constantinople and Paris, 1757). I have used the Turkish edition of Ebuzziya, ed., Paris Sefareinamesi (Istanbul, 1306). When this book was already in proof a new edition of Galland's version appeared--Mehmed Efendi, Le paradis des inideles, ed. Gilles

Veinstein, (Paris, 1981). 37. Mehmed Said, p. 345; cf. French transl., pp. 34 ff. 38. Ibid., p. 43; cf. French transl., p. 49. 39. Ibid., p. 64; cf. French transl., pp. 62 - 63. 40. Duc de St. Simon, cited in N. Berkes, The Deurlopment of Secularism in
