The emperor also believed that the ’Ulamis of his time were superior in dignity and rank to Imém i Ghazz4li and Imam i Rézi, and knowing from experience the flimsiness of his ’Ulam4és, he judged those great men of the past by his contemporaries, and threw them aside. Learned monks also came from Europe, who go by the name of Pddre. ‘They have an infallible head, called Pépd.’ He can change any religious ordinances as he may think advisable, and kings have to submit to his authority. These monks brought the gospel, and mentioned to the emperor their proofs for the Trinity.
