2) Sultan Abdul Hamid, Sultan of Ottoman Turkey, by Professor Vambery. Ármin Vámbéry (born Hermann Wamberger; 19 March 1832 – 15 September 1913), also known as Arminius Vámbéry, was a Hungarian Turkologist and traveller. Vámbéry was acquainted with Bram Stoker, during a stay in London, and Stoker claimed him as his consultant, and as relayer of Balkan folklore inspirator of main antagonist character Dracula and, of course, the book's title. The character of Professor Van Helsing in Stoker's novel, Dracula, is sometimes said to be based on Vámbéry, though Stoker was likely inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu's Dr. Hesselius. In the novel (chapters 18 and 23) Van Helsing refers to his "friend Arminius, of Buda-Pesth University".
