    Notes Born around 1622, he was admitted to the apprentice interpreters in 1644, trained in Constantinople until 1651, then by Michel D´Asquier in Vienna - partly because of complaints about his behavior. In 1653 he temporarily studied in Győr with Josephus Barbatus and performed minor interpreting duties. In 1658 he performed a minor diplomatic mission to Belgrade to the camp of the Grand Vizier, and in 1659 he was sent with the internuncius to Constantinople and to the Pasha of Buda. In Vienna, he was not only an interpreter for the War Council, but also an inspector for the Oriental Trading Company and an escort for Ottoman and Tatar embassies. In 1672, he unsuccessfully applied for the post of resident envoy to Constantinople. In the Great Turkish War he served mostly in Vienna, and for shorter periods with General Caraffa in Upper Hungary and in Buda until his death in 1694.
