Notes	Born around 1627, he was an apprentice interpreter in Constantinople from 1644. In 1651, he applied for a position as an interpreter, but was unsuccessful in passing Michel D'Asquier's examination. In 1653, he became a fully accredited interpreter in Győr replacing the aging Josephus Barbatus, and in 1656 he was appointed ensign in the same fortress. He was regularly entrusted with escorting Ottoman embassies between Vienna and the Hungarian border, but also performed missions to the court of the Ottoman governor-general of Buda as an interpreter and ensign until his death.
