Full Description


This book provides translations of a number of texts representative of Europe's reaction to Suleyman the Magnificent from his accession through the defeat at Vienna in 1529. A single text, the Diarii kept by the Venetian bailo in Constantinople, Marino Sanudo, forms the basis of this collection, but its narrative will be complemented by significant reactions of other contemporary authors, either eyewitnesses of or potential commentators on specific military events: Belgrade, Rhodes and Vienna. As a historical text Sanudo's diaries, with their extraordinary detail and scope, are unprecedented for this any period. However, their size necessitates their abridgement only to those comments which refer specifically to the Ottoman Turks' dealings with Europe. The first supplemental text is Venetian ambassador, Pietro Bragadin's, initial, positive reaction to Suleyman's rise to the crown, the Description of Suleyman the Magnificent for the Venetian Senate, which was sent to Venice shortly after Suleyman's gained the Ottoman imperial throne.
