The introduction of the tulip to Europe is usually attributed to Ogier de Busbecq, the ambassador of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor to the Sultan of Turkey, who sent the first tulip bulbs and seeds to Vienna in 1554 from the Ottoman Empire.

The connection of the two shrubs lies in their introduction from Ottoman gardens to European ones, effected at the same time by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, who returned to Vienna in 1562.

An Arabic translation of the manuscript was discovered in Istanbul in the 1560s by the Flemish diplomat Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq who was in the employ of Emperor Ferdinand I.

In the Fourth Turkish letter by Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, they are described as " a warlike people, who to this day inhabit many villages " though in the 5th century, Theodoric the Great failed to rouse Crimean Goths to support his war in Italy.

Following the report by Busbecq, numerous European travelers went to visit the Crimea, Torquatus visited the Crimea in the mid-to late 1500s in which he reported the existence of Goths who spoke their own language, but used Greek, Tartar and Hungarian in dealing with outsiders.

In the report made by Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq of the Crimean Goths, he claims to not be able to determine whether the Germanic peoples of Crimea were Goths or Saxons, certainly the language cannot be directly linked to well attested Biblical Gothic language.

Indeed, such was the perceived threat of the Ottoman Empire under the reign of Suleiman that ambassador Busbecq warned of Europe's imminent conquest: " On Turks ' side are the resources of a mighty empire, strength unimpaired, habituation to victory, endurance of toil, unity, discipline, frugality and watchfulness ... Can we doubt what the result will be ?... When the Turks have settled with Persia, they will fly at our throats supported by the might of the whole East ; how unprepared we are I dare not say.

Busbecq discovered an almost complete copy of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti, an account of Roman emperor Augustus ' life and accomplishments, at the Monumentum Ancyranum in Ancyra.

The first crocus seen in the Netherlands, where Crocus species are not native, were from corms brought back in the 1560s from Constantinople by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq.

Busbecq first read the inscription and identified its origin from his reading of Suetonius ; he published a copy of parts of it in his Turkish Letters.

Busbecq brought some manuscripts from Constantinople:

The Austrian ambassador Busbecq would note " Suleiman has among his children a son called Mustafa, marvellously well educated and prudent and of an age to rule, since he is 24 or 25 years old ; may God never allow a Barbary of such strength to come near us ", going on to talk of Mustafa's " remarkable natural gifts ".

In 1648 John Wilkins cites Busbecq, the Austrian ambassador to Constantinople 1554-1562, as recording that " a Turk in Constantinople " attempted to fly.

In 1554 Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq was sent to Constantinople by Ferdinand to discuss a border treaty over disputed land with Suleiman.

However, only a single source provides any details of the language itself: a letter by the Flemish ambassador Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, dated 1562 and first published in 1589, gives a list of some eighty words and a song supposedly in the language.

The Monumentum Ancyranum was first made known to the western world by Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, ambassador of Ferdinand of Austria, to the Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent ( 1555 – 1562 ) at Amasia in Asia Minor.

Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq ( 1522, Comines-October 28, 1592 ; Latin: Augerius Gislenius Busbequius ; sometimes Augier Ghislain de Busbecq ) was a 16th century Flemish writer, herbalist and diplomat in the employ of three generations of Austrian monarchs.

He was the illegitimate son of the Seigneur de Busbecq, Georges Ghiselin, and his mistress Catherine Hespiel, and was later legitimated.

He grew up at Busbecq Castle ( in present-day Bousbecque, Nord, France ), studying in Wervik and Comines-at the time, all part of Spanish West Flanders, a province of the Holy Roman Empire.

Busbecq, like his father and grandfather, chose a career of public service.

Busbecq has also been credited with introducing the lilac to Europe ( though this is debated ) as well as the Angora goat.

Busbecq ended his career as the guardian of Elisabeth of Austria, Maximilian's daughter and widow of French king Charles IX.

Litigants who choose to assert federal claims in a state court go into that court subject to its rules of procedure.

A similar canon applies to those who press state claims in federal tribunals, e.g., in diversity cases.

If a litigant chooses to enforce a Federal right in a State court, he cannot be heard to object if he is treated exactly as are plaintiffs who press like claims arising under State law with regard to the form in which the claim must be stated -- the particularity, for instance, with which a cause of action must be described.
