10 this way In the famous institutes
established by the warrior Sultan, Ma
homed IT., the Turkish body politic
was described by the metaphor Of y
stately tent, whose dome rested upon
four pillars. srrhe Viziers formed the
tirst pillar, the Judges the second, the
rreasnrers the third, and the Score
taries the fourth. The chief seat Of
government was flguratively named
"The Lofty Gate OF the Royal Tent

The Italian translation Of this name
was s'La Porto sublime" " This phrase
was modified in the English to ths
