Ciphut

What is the language and meaning of 'ciphut'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.123.46 (talk) 17:37, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

[edit]

The article is based on unreliable sources, mostly journalistic or pop-historic (Kritzler). Kritzler repeats his source's errors : he cites Tolkowsky's "They took to the sea" which confuses "Sinan the Jew" the corsair and Sinan Pasha the Kapudan Pasha, therefore ascribing to the former undue importance and achievements. The invented information about Sinan the Jew being "buried in a Jewish cemetery in Albania" is the result of some other non specialized (or careless) authors mistaking Scutari=Üsküdar (the actual burial place of Sinan Pasha) for Scutari=Skhodër (Kritzler doesn't make the mistake himself).--Phso2 (talk) 13:55, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
