Salvete Omnes,
at the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek digital collections there are various Ottoman illuminated manuscripts from the XVI-XVIII centuries.
One of them is - Figurae 294 colorite che rappresentano le cariche, le professioni ecc. della citt… di Constantinopoli e di varie nazioni barbare colla descrizione. Vol. II. painted circa 1700-1730AD, and with a handwritten notes in Italian.
I 'corralled' Crimean Tatar figures from this collection -
from the Khan or the ruler to the lowest warrior
Galga/Gałga aka nuradin-soltan
warriors and all
and in addition a water carrier for the Janissary Corps
ps
thanks to Serge Shamenkov aka Rogala for providing the link to this collection - :)
enjoy
Valete
