    Notes He was probably a spy of Bosnian origin who served already as a “Turkish” courier in the diplomatic mission of Hermann Czernin in 1644. In 1652, he applied to the War Council as an interpreter for eastern languages, where he was employed in a dual capacity as a courier and interpreter. In 1657, he was entrusted with the embassy to the Cossacks together with the archbishop Petrus Parčević. Based on his connections to Bosnia, he was recommended by the President of the Aulic War Council, Annibale Gonzaga for the title of the bishop of Bosnia in 1660. In 1657 Ferdinand III granted him the title of procurator of the Kingdom of Bosnia, confirmed in 1671.
