About this book
The study concerns Ibrahim Pasha, who is identified in the title as Grand Vizir of Suleiman the Magnificent. The preface connects teaching history in Constantinople with an interest in Turkey and observes that little has been written beyond political relations with Europe. The discussion of Turkish thought identifies Arabic theology and Persian poetry as the great forces engaged in moulding the mind.
The narrative describes unsuccessful negotiations in which the nuncios and grand vizir could not agree on terms of alliance. Suleiman ends the audience by dismissing the ambassadors with a threat that their master will feel his friendship and neighborliness.
