	Teffilin. The Jews calls that Teffelin, which Moses's Law terms Tapsot, and are certain Papers they carry about them in time of Prayer; some they wear tied to their Left-Arm, and another to their Forehead. St. Jerom makes mention of these Teffelins of the Jews in his Commentary upon St. Matthew. Father Simon assures that the Caraites make no use of these Teffelins, and that on the contrary they laugh at the Rabbanites, calling them bridled Asses with their Teffilin. See Leon of Modena. Fath. Simon in his Supplement to that Authors Book.		Teffilin.

	Teflis, or Tiflis, Capital of Gurgistan, or Georgie properly so called, is situated at the Foot of a Mountain and on the Banks of the River Kut, with a great Fortress towards the South, upon the side of the Hill, inhabited and garison'd by none but natural Persians, a safe Shelter for Criminals or other People in Debt. The Vice-Roy is to come through this Citadel when he goes to receive at the Gate the Presents and Letters the Sophies send him, who have established this Custom that when they please they may seize him without running the hazard of causing an Insurrection. There are fourteen Churches in the Town, whereof six belong to the Georgians, and the rest to the Armenians. The Cathedral of the Georgians, called Sion, is an ancient Structure consisting of four Quires, abundantly furnished with flat Paintings after the Greek manner, but has no Images in relief. The chief Church of the Armenians is called the Monastery of the Bacha, said to be built by a Bacha who fled hither. There is not one Mosque, though the Place belongs to the King of Persia a Mahometan, and though that, with all the Province, is governed by a Vice-Roy of that Sect. The Persians have several times endeavoured to Build some, but could never finish any, for the People always rose, took Arms, demolish'd the Work, and beat and abused the Men that carried it on: The Princes were glad at the Heart at these Seditions of the People, though they pretended the contrary, because they never abjur'd their Religion, but to obtain the Place of Vice Roy of the Estates they were dispossessed of. And because the Georgians are very mutinous, valiant, and not far off the Turks, the Persians are not over-rigorous, but leave the Town of Teflis, as well as the rest of Georgia, the liberty of keeping all outward Signs of their Religion; for they have their Bells and their Crosses at the top of their Steeples, which is in no other part of the Ottoman Empire. They sell Pork and other Flesh every Day, and their Wine in the Corners of the Streets: the Persians have lately built a small Mosque in the Fortress, which the Georgians could not prevent; but when the Mahometan Officer got upon the Tower to call the People to it, they threw so many Stones at him, that none durst venture up since. There are some Capucin Missioners established here and in other Places in the Country, first admitted under the Title of Physicians, which Name they retain still, and receive large Presents as Fees, by which, and the Pension sent them from Rome by the Congregation de propaganda fide, they make a shift to subsist. Teflis is very well inhabited, and has a great number of Strangers in it from all Nations. The Court is very magnificent, always attended with many Lords and Gentlemen of very good Fashion. The Turks were twice Masters of it; the 1st time in the Reign of Ismael II. King of Persia, and the 2d in the following Reign, Solyman becoming Master of it much about the time he took Tauris in 1535. The King of Persia retook it afterwards, and named it Darel Melce, that is, a Royal Town, because it's the Capital of the Kingdom. Chardin Voyage of Persia.

	Tegaza, a Desert upon the Frontiers of Zaara and the Country of Negroes in Africa. The Inhabitants hereof never appear before other People, and they of Zanhaga traffick with them after a very strange manner; they bring their Salt, and lay it upon the Banks of a certain River, then withdraw, the other come in their Absence and lay by each Heap of Salt the Price they are minded to give for it; when these are also gone, the Zanhagues return and take the Gold the others have left; all which is done very honestly on both sides. Some Years ago two of these Savages were taken, who died without being heard to have ever spoken, which makes People believe they are Dumb. Joan. Leo.

	Tekeli (Stephen) a powerful Count of Ʋpper Hungary, where he was worth 300000 Livres a Year. Some write that this Wealth was the Occasion of his Misfortune, making the Emperor's Ministers to seek means to involve him in Count Serini's Conspiracy; for after this Count's Execution, and that Frangipani, Nadasti, and Tattembach were Beheaded in 1671, General Spork, at the Head of some of the Emperor's Troops, came to Besiege Tekeli in his Fortress; who finding himself in no condition to resist, endeavoured to amuse them with good Language to gain time for his Son Emeric to make his Escape, which he did in a Boors Attire, with two other Gentlemen in the same Apparel, who carried him safe to Poland. The Count did not out-live his Son's Escape any long time. After his Death his Goods were confiscated, and his three Daughters carried to Vienna, where becoming Roman Catholicks they were married to three great Lords of the Empire. In the mean time their Brother retired into Transilvania. Memoire du Temps.		Tekeli (Stephen) a powerful Count of Ʋpper Hungary, where he was worth 300000 Livres a Year.

	Tekeli (Emeric Count of) having made his Escape thus by his Fathers Policy, went into Transilvania in 1671, with some other of the Chief of the Malecontents of Hungary, his Wit and Valour soon distinguish'd him at Prince Abafti's Court, where he became, in a little time, first Minister of State, and afterwards Generalissimo of the Troops sent to assist the Malecontents, with which he made himself Master of several Places in the Ʋpper and Lower Hungary; whereupon the Archbishop of Strigonia endeavoured to bring him and the Emperor to an Agreement: Count Tekeli declared he would come to none before the Clergy, of whom he was suspicious, were banished the Kingdom, until a general Amnestie were granted, and the free Exercise of Religion allow'd, their Goods and Churches restor'd, and Power given them to chuse a Palatin of their own Nation; adding, that if these Conditions were not agreed to, he would deliver all the Towns in the Mountains that he was Master of to the Turks.

After this he made a Truce and new Articles; but the Turk hearing of it, sent a Bassa to dissuade him from an Accommodation, and promise him the Principality of Transilvania after Prince Abafti's Death. This Bassa had many Conferences with the Count and the other chief Heads of the Malecontents, who promised in the Name of all the rest of the Kingdom to pay his Master a Yearly Tribute of 80000 Crowns so he would assist them powerfully. Some time after this Tekeli went to Buda to consult with the Bassa about the Measures they were to take, and changed all his own Accoutrements for a rich Turkish Garb the Bassa presented him with from the Grand Signior, who also declared him King of Hungary. After this Tekeli sent his Secretary to Vienna for the Emperor's Leave to marry the Princess Ragotski, which he obtained, partly to reclaim him, and partly because they had resolved to go on whether he had consented to it or no.

He call'd a Diet in 1683, where, amongst the rest, there was to be a Turkish Aga or Bassa for the Grand Signior's Interest, from which Tekeli declared, in this Assembly, he could not part: But though he continued to block up the Places that were left the Emperor in Ʋpper Hungary, and cut off their Relief, yet he pretended still he could wish his Imperial Majesty would allow him reasonable Conditions; until finding the Turks near at hand, he published his Manifesto, by which he acquainted the People, that the Grand Signior would protect all those that stuck to the Malecontents, and allow them the free Exercise of their Religion, with all other their Privileges; but, that they were to expect no Quarters who did not submit. This had such great Effect, that several Towns open'd their Gates for his Party. Then Tekeli joyned the Great Vizir as he march'd to Besiege Vienna, to receive his Orders for the Campagne. After the raising of this Siege, and the Victory gain'd over the Turks, the King of Poland endeavoured to reconcile the Malecontents to the Emperor. Their Pretensions were reduced to five principal Heads; 1. The Preservation of the Privileges of the Kingdom; 2. The Liberty of a free Exercise of Religion; 3. The Restitution of Confiscated Goods; 4. To declare Count Tekeli Prince, and give him the Counties profered him before. To which Prince Charles of Lorrain returned this Answer, That the only means to be received into the Emperors Favour, was, to part from the Turks, lay down his Arms, and submit to his Clemency. These Conditions were rejected: In the mean time the Count understanding that he was accused to the Grand Signior of Corresponding privately with the Imperialists, posted incognito to Adrianople about the end of the Year 1683; and having found means to come into the Sultan's Presence, he declared, he was come wiih his Head himself, which he chose to lose rather than be exposed to his Enemies Calumnies, or his Protector's Disgrace. This Boldness succeeded so very well, that the Sultan believed all that happened was to be imputed to his Vizir's bad Conduct, and dismist Count Tekeli with a farther Assurance of his Protection and Assistance; so that he has ever since remained Head of the Malecontents, and firm to the Interest of the Port.
