Letters from Constantinople on Patriarchs and Voltaire
The letter discusses Ottoman ecclesiastical hierarchies and updated claims about the Patriarch of Cyzigue, plus a plan to obtain complete lists of Constantinople bishops. It also critiques Voltaire’s Charles XII history, notes changes in Greek prelatures under Muslim rule, and reports on imperial politics and military movements in Silesia, Saxony, and Alsace with dates and dignitaries.
