Question

Two Syrians named Shemsi and Hekem established one of these places in a city where they were later used as headquarters for an uprising led by Patrona Halil. As thanks for his services as a courier, a possible Armenian spy named Johannes Diodato was permitted to establish one of these places. The low price of admission into these places led to them being nicknamed “penny universities” (15[1])in England. After enacting a law outlawing these places, (*) Murad IV would walk (10[1])in disguise with a large sword to kill any patrons. (-5[1])Using spoils from the Ottoman camp after the 1683 siege of Vienna, (10[1])Jerzy Kulczycki (“cool-CHIS-kee”) established one of these places in the city.
