ITALIAN PERCEPTIONS OF THE OTTOMANS - MUSTAFA S...

The book is about Italian perceptions of the Ottomans from Renaissance until the nineteenth
century within the framework of political history. It is based on ample documentation of
pontifical sources on the Ottomans from the Vatican Library and other archives  as well as
Venetian and Italian literature on the Ottomans. Most of the pontifical sources belong to
lesser known authors and come from unpublished sources with transcription in Italian and
translation in English with commentary  among them Monsignor Marcello Marchesi  pontifical
diplomat and councilor to Emperor Rudolf II during the Long War in Hungary  and Angelo Petricca
da Sonnino  vicar apostolic in Istanbul and head of Propaganda Fide. In addition the book
presents the contrasting views of the Ottomans vis-à-vis the Europeans from Turkish second-hand
sources.
