Note 065
Sherefeddin Ali (Hist. de Timour Bec, l. v. c. 13) allows Bajazet a round number of 12,000 officers and servants of the chase. A part of his spoils was afterwards displayed in a hunting-match of Timour,

1. hounds with satin housings;
2. leopards with collars set with jewels;
3. Grecian greyhounds; and
4. dogs from Europe, as strong as African lions, (idem, l. vi. c. 15.)

Bajazet was particularly fond of flying his hawks at cranes, (Chalcondyles, l. ii. p. 85.)]
