Quoted in the book 'Salonika City of Ghosts' by Mark Mazower pg 50:
Samuel Usque was a Marrano poet who lived in the 16 th century and is quoted about Thessaloniki "There is a city in the Turkish Kingdom" he wrote, 'which formely belonged to the GREEKS,and in our days is a true mother city in Judaism".
Now can someone tell me why didn't he say "Macedonian" instead he called the city Greek?This is in the later part of the 16th century so where or how Thessaloniki isn't called Solun and it's a Greek city so how is this so?
According to yr puppeteers there was no Greeks living up north and that the Slavs only mixed with "macedonians" can u fyromians help us answer why did this historical figure claim this city as Greek??
