A collection of excerpts and treatises on the Ottoman Empire, published during a period of revitalised interest in the near east and the Turkish region. A focus on the city of Constantinople and the culture within the Ottoman capital sets this apart from the much more popular histories of the Empire. Various renowned authors are included, including Busbecq, Soranzo, and Orazio Malaguzzi.
