Constantinople Location and Population Amid Historic Walls
The text outlines Constantinople about thirteen miles round with walls along the coast and the Bosphorus, Harbor and Golden Horn separating it from Galata and Sentari. It notes a population near half a million, a mix of Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Arabs, Europeans, and Turks, and references Byzantium’s ancient founding in 666 B.C. plus remarks on Ottoman daily timekeeping and sunset prayers.

Untidy Istanbul Streets and Borough Layout Critique
A fragment describes Constantinople streets as long crooked lanes with edge houses and no planning, contrasted with a straight, uniform street grid. The Golden Horn and Bosphorus divide the city, while a mid-urban bazaar is likened to a covered street. The piece notes three miles from east to city edge and three to the south, praising picturesque chaos.

Prophecies of a Benedictine Monk and Later Reflections
A long fragment discusses a Benedictine monk’s alleged prophecies from the eighteenth century, including earthquakes in 1775, the wrath of God in 1790, and the Millennium in 1999. It notes Lisbon’s 1755 quake and Lisbon related devastations, then contrasts natural inference with rational critique, linking prophecy and historical events, while interweaving moral and religious reflections on faith, change, and church revival.
