Strasbourg, 1581 : deux captifs venus de Bulgarie, en crowdfunding de rançon : deux Strasbourgeois qui ont été à Constantinople (dont un lors de ses études de pharmacie) vont vérifier s'il ne s'agit pas de charlatans. ("On a déjà donné 200 couronnes, aidez-nous pour les 300 dernières !")

PdV continue. Pour lui, la fin de l’Empire byzantin (en 1453 avec la prise de Constantinople par les Ottomans) marque en Occident une prise de conscience que la chrétienté doit s’opposer farouchement à l’islam. 6/

If Imamoglu was condemned and had to serve this time in prison backwards, he would be released when the Roman Empire entered Turkey. He would have almost 500 years left to serve when Jesus died. 1900 years to serve from when the Ottomans took Constantinople. It's 110 times Erdogan's time in power.
2430 yeats in prison wanted for jailed Istanbul mayor İmamoğlu.
3900 pages in indictment. 402 accused.

Au fait, pour celleux qui ont suivi l'#APLourdes, il faut en retenir quoi de concret ? Une belle homélie de notre évêque vient de rappeler les propos du Card. Aveline et de Bartholomée de Constantinople sur l'impasse identitaire, mais y a-t-il des actes et décisions à noter ? (question sérieuse...!)

"The fall of Constantinople wiped the last living Roman civilization from the Earth. The city’s refugees fled west, helping spark the Renaissance"
I have to nitpick - the Renaissance was "sparked" long before the fall of the city in 1453 (Constantinople did play a role though)

Yeah, except the production designer clearly said "sure George" and then made the actual style 50% Constantinople and 40% Renaissance Italy.
