schools and a high school 20were founded. According to Polish reports, theTurks registered all property in Kam "janee'. In this register, which survivesin the Istanbul archives, several names of citizens of Kam "janee' canbe found: for instance, the bishop Wawrzyniec Lanckororiski appears in theregister as "Lançkoronçki papas-i kebir." The Christians who remained inthe city retained their property. The workshops, shops, and houses of Christianswho left the city with the Polish soldiers were sold to the new Muslimmilitary settlers. 21According to reports of Polish spies, only Poles and a number ofArmenians remained loyal to the former sovereign. Jews, who by then hadbeen excluded from sharing in city rights, were now allowed to settle inKam "janee'. De la Magdeleine, a French captive and interpreter in theTurkish camp, recorded a story that characterized the internal clashes in thecity. Since all the Catholic churches were converted into mosques, the Polesremaining in Kam "janee' were given an Orthodox church. The followingday, a delegation of the Ukrainian Orthodox population asked the Turks tokeep dogs in the church rather than give it to the Poles. 22Under the terms of the Treaty of Bućać (Polish, Buczacz), signed18 October 1672, the province of Podillja was ceded to the OttomanEmpire. The Commonwealth agreed to pay a yearly tribute. The CossackHetmanate of DoroSenko retained its autonomy under Ottoman protection.The Ottomans tried to maintain good relations with the Ukrainian hetmanand even ceded to him the important Podilljan city of Mohyliv as a lifetenure. This did not prevent relations from souring in the following years.The defeat of 1672 prompted a temporary general reconciliation of factionswithin Poland. The diet rejected the Bućać treaty and voted new taxes.The army was increased to over fifty thousand, and Sobieski was able todefeat the serasker Hüseyin Paşa at Xotyn (Polish, Chocim; Turkish, Hotin)in November 1673—a victory that brought him the Polish crown after KingMichał's death.Sobieski was one of the few Polish statesmen to realize both the importanceof a Baltic policy and the threat from Hohenzollern Prussia, a formerPolish tributary that had gained independence in 1657. It is, therefore,ironic that this man spent almost his entire reign in war against the Ottomans.9320In an Ottoman register we find Şeyh 'ül-kurra, a title applicable to a lower medrese professor,see Istanbul, Başbakanlık Arşivi (hereafter BA), Maliyeden Müdevver (hereafter MM)4559, p. 4BA, MM 709 passim.21С de la Magdeleine, Le Miroir ottoman avec un succinct récit de tout ce qui c'est passé de22considerable pendant la guerre des Turcs en Pologne, jusqu'en 1676 (Basle, 1677), p. 10.
