I., in Cantemir, (p 33 - 45,) the first book of

According to another story, the sultan was stabbed by a
Croat in his tent; and this accident was alleged to
Busbequius (Epist i. p. 98) as an excuse for the unworthy
precaution of pinioning, as if were, between two attendants,
an ambassador's arms, when he is introduced to the royal
presence.]
