There is a set of five prints by Daniel Hopfer of Ottoman Sultan Süleyman and his cortege after earlier prints by Jan Swart. The originals by Swart may not have had many captions. Hopfer has captions as Three Ottoman trumpeters, Mamalucke, Haiden (Pagans) & Arabische (Arabs) but versions appear in the Códice De Trajes with different captions: MOSQVWITER rather than Mamalucke, THIRCKEN rather than Haiden and TATERN rather than Arabische. Does anyone have the originals by Jan Swart? MIRROR SITE Prints by Daniel Hopfer of Süleyman and his cortege Druzhina Illustrations of Ottoman Costume & Soldiers

Druzhina: I think some malicious code has been added to your page with those illustrations – when I use IE to go to those links I keep getting redirected to a site that tries to force load a hacked version of Java & gives my Anti-Virus conniptions. All the other pages are fine, just the ones linked above have the problem.

Danial S, thanks, I can find 4 of the 5 prints by Swart at the Rijksmuseum. bsrlee, I think it is the advert that is added to the bottom of pages on fik4 that requests a newer Java version when 1st encountered. Druzhina Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers

Here are large images from the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands: Ottoman trumpeters by Jan Swart van Groningen Mamaluckes by Jan Swart Suleiman the Great & his cortege by Jan Swart Ottoman Haiden by Jan Swart and from the British Museum: Arabs by Jan Swart The Hopfer versions are close copies of these except for some details. For example the scabbard of the Mamalukes, whose hats are shaggier in the Swart prints Only 1 of the Arab's feet is showing – this has no shoe or stirrup, just a spur. Is that normal? Anax at Historum pointed out that the Mamalukes' coat of arms is like this one: Martin Schrot in his Wappenbuch, 16th century, attributes this coat of arms to the first bey of Bithynia, Osman I.

There is another image of a 16th century Mameluke, by Cesare Vecellio, which includes some Balkan-like elements. Druzhina Illustrations of Egyptian Costume & Soldiers
