From Hungary, three hundred thousand were enslaved and “carried off in just a few days”; from Serbia and Transylvania one hundred thousand were hauled off.¶ “The massive enslavement of slavic populations during this period gave rise, in fact, to our word ‘slave’: in Bartolomeo’s time, to be a slave was to be a Slav.”77 Further telling is that “the Turkish word kiz, meaning ‘girl,’ ‘slave girl,’ and ‘sexual slave girl’ (or ‘concubine’) came to mean also ‘Christian woman’ in Islamic usage.”
