Пробвах да чета господин Леви, но ми се струва много сухо и безинтересно. Може би защото е писано наскоро. Колкото по-отдавна е писана информацията, толкова по-добре (за мен). Препоръчвам ти това:
Интересен цитат в статията е сведението на Nicolo Nicolai от "Viaggi nella Turchia," pp. 142-143, Venice, 1580:
"There are so many Jews throughout Turkey, and in Greece especially, that it is a great marvel and downright incredible. They increase daily through the commerce, money-changing, and peddling which they carry on almost everywhere on land and on water; so that it may be said truly that the greater part of the commerce of the whole Orient is in their hands. In Constantinople they have the largest bazars and stores, with the best and most expensive wares of all kinds. In addition, one meets among them many skilled artists and mechanicians, especially among the Maranos, who some years ago were driven out of Spain and Portugal. These, with great harm and injury to Christendom, have taught the Turks to make implements of war. . . . The said Jews have also established a printing-press, which is a wonderful thing to the Turks. They print books in Latin, Greek, Italian, Syriac, and Hebrew; but in Turkish and Arabic they are not allowed to print. Besides, they know most languages; so that they are employed as interpreters"
